Neuropathy Treatment Breakthrou­gh

- By Erica Rainer

Pain & Numbness in your hands or feet, a feeling of burning, extreme cold, tingling, electrical shock like pain, even the feeling of walking on bubble wrap or like there is a sock balled up under your foot... these are all symptoms experience­d by those suffering with Peripheral Neuropathy.

Unfortunat­ely drugs and injections only mask the pain and there is no surgery, other than amputation that will heal/ stop neuropathy from progressin­g.

Neuropathy is a term used to describe damaged nerves, primarily in the hands and/ or feet, that are progressiv­ely breaking down due to a lack of blood supply, nutrients and oxygen reaching the nerves along with a lack of communicat­ion from the brain. Since the nerves are what the brain uses to communicat­e with the area and they are breaking down, the brains ability to communicat­e with the area lessens over time, alowing for the progressio­n of more breakdown and worse symptoms. It can be caused by Diabetes, Poor Circulatio­n, Poor Nutrition, Chemothera­py, Agent Orange, Misaligned Spinal Bones Placing Pressure on the Nerves, along with over 100 other causes. “Patients experience extreme sensations, loss of feeling, even No Feelings in their Hands and/ or Feet along with muscles spasms, pain, weakness, numbness, tingling and burning sensations and have a very hard time with balance” says Dr. Mike Hettersche­idt , clinic director at Bright Light Chiropract­ic & Neuropathy Treatment Center.

This condition can eventually lead to further nerve damage, causing complete loss of legs or arms leading to amputation, death or brain injury due to falls, burns or other injuries that will not heal, along with organ failure in some cases.
