New Treatments for Pain & Numbness

-

By Andrea Ide

Are you or someone you know living with life altering pain, tingling, or numbness in your hands, feet or legs? This may be due to

Nerve Damage that if left untreated, can quickly go from what may seem like a small annoyance to big problems. Unfortunat­ely, most people have no idea what to do and some don’t even realize how big of a problem it is. They tell their docinjecti­ons which 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, allowing 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 and may have a very hard time with balance” says Dr. Sean Beukelman D.C., of Peak Potential, a Neuropathy testing and treatment clinic right here in Houston Heights. 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.

If you or someone you love is experienci­ng any of these symptoms that may be due to Nerve Damage... there are now new options.

HEALING IS POSSIBLE

More than 20 Million people in the U.S. are dealing with some form of Neuropathy. Most commonly noticed weakness, numbness, tingling pain and debilitati­ng balance problems, often frustrated with no place to turn and no hope of recovery. “By the time they come to see us, they feel like they have tried everything and honestly, most have. They tried lotions, pills and sprays. Their MD put them on Anti-Seizure or Epilepsy meds like Gabapentin, Neurontin, Cymbalta or Lyrica, they just keep upping the dose and are then told that they will just have to live with the pain or numbness and do their best to manage. That isn’t good enough. People want to heal and that is where we come in.” said Dr. Beukelman D.C.
