PERIPHERAL NERVE PAIN AND CHRONIC PAIN WARNING
The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your chronic pain and/or nerve pain is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms.
These drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects.
Chronic pain and/or peripheral nerve pain is a result of damage and get you back to health is our
ElectroChemical Stimulation (EC Stim) treatment.
In addition, we use a state-ofthe-art diagnostics like the TM Flow diagnostic unit to accurately determine the increase in blood flow and a small skin biopsy to accurately determine the increase in small nerve fibers.
The EC Stim electric cell signaling system delivers energy to the affected area of your body at varying wavelengths, including both low frequency and middle frequency signals. It also uses amplitude modulated (AM) and frequency modulated (FM) signaling. During a treatment session, the EC Stim system automatically changes to simultaneously deliver AM and FM electric cell signal energy.
THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT EC Stim IS COVERED BY MEDICARE, TRICARE AND MOST INSURANCES
Depending on your coverage, your treatment could be little to no cost to you.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 95% nerve damage there is hope! San Diego Pain Relief Center will do a chronic pain and nerve pain severity screening to determine the extent of the nerve damage as a public service to you and/or your family and friends.
This nerve pain/pain severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing, and a detailed analysis of the findings of your nerve pain.
