neuropathy, pain management

Neuropathy, a condition characterized by nerve damage resulting in pain, numbness, and weakness, has traditionally been challenging to treat. Neuropathy Specialists have revolutionized neuropathy care with an innovative combination therapy that integrates water immersion electrotherapy, photobiomodulation light therapy, and alpha-lipoic acid therapy. This treatment, delivered directly to patients' homes, has shown unprecedented results in nerve repair and regeneration, improving patient outcomes significantly.

The Novel Treatment Combination

  1. Water Immersion Electrotherapy:

    • Mechanism: This therapy involves immersing the affected area in water while mild electrical currents are applied. The water enhances the conductivity of the electrical currents, allowing deeper penetration into the tissues.

    • Benefits: Promotes muscle relaxation, reduces pain, and enhances blood flow, which is critical for nerve repair and regeneration.

  2. Photobiomodulation Light Therapy:

    • Mechanism: This therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and underlying tissues. It stimulates cellular function and promotes healing.

    • Benefits: Increases cellular energy production (ATP), reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair processes, particularly in nerve cells.

  3. Alpha Lipoic Acid Therapy:

    • Mechanism: Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress, a major contributor to nerve damage in neuropathy.

    • Benefits: Protects nerve cells from damage, improves nerve conduction, and enhances blood flow to peripheral nerves.

Synergistic Effects of the Combined Therapies

The combination of these three therapies creates a synergistic effect, amplifying the benefits of each individual treatment. Here's how they work together to produce extraordinary results:

  1. Enhanced Nerve Repair and Regeneration:

    • Electrotherapy and Light Therapy Synergy: The increased blood flow from water immersion electrotherapy enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, which are further utilized by cells to repair and regenerate nerves when stimulated by photobiomodulation light therapy.

    • Alpha Lipoic Acid Augmentation: ALA reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, creating a favorable environment for nerve regeneration. It also supports the metabolic processes needed for effective electrotherapy and light therapy.

  2. Improved Microvasculature:

    • Increased Circulation: Electrotherapy and light therapy both promote vasodilation, improving blood flow to damaged areas. This increased circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen, facilitating nerve repair.

    • ALA's Role: ALA enhances endothelial function, further improving microcirculation and ensuring that the benefits of the other therapies are maximized.

  3. Restoration of Sensation and Function:

    • Electrotherapy Impact: Reduces pain and promotes muscle function, helping to restore sensation.

    • Photobiomodulation Influence: Repairs nerve tissues, restoring normal nerve function and sensation.

    • ALA Contribution: Protects nerves and supports their function, helping maintain the improvements achieved by the other therapies.

Treatment Protocol and Patient Outcomes

Delivery and Administration:

  • Home Delivery: The treatment package, including devices for water immersion electrotherapy and photobiomodulation light therapy, as well as alpha-lipoic acid supplements, is shipped directly to the patient's home.

  • Easy to Use: Patients receive detailed instructions and support, ensuring they can easily administer the treatments at home.

    Treatment Schedule:

  • Frequency: Patients typically undergo water immersion electrotherapy and photobiomodulation light therapy sessions 3-5 times per week.

  • Duration: Each session lasts about 20-30 minutes.

  • Supplementation: ALA is taken daily as a dietary supplement.

Outcomes:

  • Pain Reduction: Significant reduction in neuropathic pain, often within the first few weeks of treatment.

  • Improved Sensation: Restoration of normal sensation and reduction in numbness.

  • Enhanced Function: Improved muscle strength and coordination, leading to better overall functionality.

Conclusion

Neuropathy Specialists have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to neuropathy treatment by combining water immersion electrotherapy, photo biomodulation light therapy, and alpha-lipoic acid therapy. This innovative combination not only enhances nerve repair and regeneration but also improves microvascular health, leading to unprecedented patient outcomes. By delivering this comprehensive treatment directly to patients' homes, Neuropathy Specialists have made advanced neuropathy care accessible and convenient, transforming the lives of those suffering from this debilitating condition.

George from West Virginia

I had progressive diabetic neuropathy in my feet and it had worked it's way all the way up my calves. After two weeks of using this treatment at home I started to regain the feeling in my legs and feet. It has improved my balance and given me hope for the future! My feet had been numb for two years and my doctors told me that there was nothing that could be done. Thank you!

Jessica from Colorado

I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and it felt like I had a rolled up sock under my toes. It eventually progressed to burning pain constantly in my toes and the balls of my feet. The only option I was given was medication. It helped with the pain but not with the numbness, and it didn't stop it. The burning pain and tingling eventually took over the entire bottom of my feet. After two weeks of the at home treatment the burning pain was gone completely and I was able to get off my medication completely!

FAQS

How does this treatment work?

Our treatment program uses a combination of the 3 most studied and successful treatments available. These therapies have been shown to be the most successful with Diabetic Neuropathy, Peripheral Neuropathy, and Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. We have seen truly amazing results in many different types of neuropathy patients. Our passion is helping those with neuropathy using the latest and most effective treatments, all from the comfort of your own home, and we want it to be affordable.

First we use water immersion electrotherapy and neuronal stimulation to get your damaged nerves to fire again. Using water immersion ensures that every neuron and nerve in the foot and lower leg are activated. Patients with severe neuropathy symptoms may feel little to no sensation for the first few treatments, but gradually sensation will return as the damaged nerves begin to rebridge and repair. Most patients will feel the tingling and electrical impulses immediately. By the second week of daily treatments 85% of patients report seeing significant improvement in their neuropathy symptoms.

Second the feet and lower leg are wrapped in a power Photobiomodulation unit which delivers multiple wavelengths of healing infrared light and this stimulates mitochondria activation in your cells. Mitochondria are your cells power plants, they produce energy to help your cells conduct vital activities such as repair. These wavelengths also stimulate your nerves regrow and repair damage neuronal connections, and to regrow the microvasculature and blood vessels that feed your nerves and tissues.

Third, Alpha Lipoic Acid is used which helps to repair the myelin sheath surrounding the nerves and increases nerve conductivity. Some research studies have suggested that Alpha Lipoic Acid be used in place of other common prescription medications for relief of neuropathy pain.

The combination of these three therapies together is what produces the long term healing effects that we have seen with 1000's of our patients. Our goal is to heal the damaged nerves and restore vital circulation.

Beware of Common Neuropathy Scams!

In the world of neuropathy scammers are everywhere. We have built our business and our reputation on providing real relief to our patients at affordable prices.

Similar treatment programs to ours can be found in many neuropathy clinics across the United States. However, these clinics charge anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 for the exact same treatments we provide. The equipment is the same, and yes those patients will see results as well, but the inflated cost is taking huge advantage of those patients that are in pain and looking for relief.

Many people on social media will tout Alpha Lipoic Acid as "all" you need to "cure" neuropathy. We too wish it were that easy, and yes Alpha Lipoic Acid can help drastically but it alone can not cure neuropathy. Most of these social media doctors are actually selling their own brand of ALA, and will make wild claims as to its effectiveness. ALA is crucial to our treatment program, but it is not the only tool in the tool box.

Beware the clinics and doctors selling the "Rebuilder", The Rebuilder is a brand of electrotherapy device that is insanely expensive and does nothing more magical than any other electrotherapy device. In fact it is the exact same technology we use in our electrotherapy device. Many clinics charge an average of $5,000.00 for their "neuropathy program" with the rebuilder as the star of the show. Our electrotherapy device costs us about $50.00, and our entire program is only $399.00. Hardly seems fair to charge $5,000 for the same thing? That's what we thought.

Many patients that come to us are confused because their doctor put them on medication for their neuropathy, and their neuropathy is not getting better. That is because these medications do not treat neuropathy, reverse it, or even help it in the littlest bit. Instead these medications deaden the neuronal impulses of the already damaged nerves, causing them to be "quieter." This quieting of the nerves only helps to speed up their decline and already decreased functionality, in fact worsening and speeding up the neuropathy. This is hardly ever explained accurately to patients. Instead, they are typically told that nothing more can be done. That is not the case.

In short, there is no cure for neuropathy. Especially not for $29.99 and certainly not for $5,000.... Our clinically proven treatments are not a cure, but they repair and regenerate the damage done to the nerves. This reverses neuropathy but in most cases the underlying cause is still present, and constantly attacking the nerves. Our treatment repairs this damage and then fights the causative agents to prevent further and future damage. In the case of diabetic neuropathy, we can't cure the diabetes of the patient, so the damage from diabetes will still try and attack the nerves, our treatments will repair the damage, relieve the patients symptoms, and then continued treatment will ensure the damage can not accumulate to a point where it causes more symptoms. Effectively managing the condition. The same is true for many other types of peripheral neuropathy. In some cases like Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, the damage can be repaired and the nerves regenerated, and so long as the patient is not undergoing chemotherapy, then yes that case can be effectively cured.

We strive to offer patients transparency, effective treatment, and affordability. We have been treating neuropathy since 1999 and we have consistently improved our therapies, decreased our prices, been an industry leader in both clinical excellent and business ethics. Don't be fooled by the many on social media preaching cures. Even our treatment is not 100% effective in all patients. We have over an 85% success rate with our patients, and we don't stop until we ensure every patient gets the relief they are looking for.
