peripheral NEUROPATHY

infrared diode photo therapy

At the forefront of our treatment regimen is the use of an Infrared Diode device, also known as low-level light therapy, photon therapy or photo therapy. This therapy outputs infrared light ranging in wavelength from 430-880nm. When used appropriately on the affected area, the lights promote the release of nitric oxide from the endothelial cells, increasing local blood flow, and stimulating angiogenesis.

Nitric Oxide is also known to play a critical role in increasing the flow of blood into body tissues. Better blood flow serves to bring fresh nutrients and oxygen into the injured area and remove bacteria and toxins out of it. Due to the limited depth of penetration of the light and the limited area that can be treated, this therapy is best used when a particular local area has been identified with a loss of local blood perfusion such as on the plantar surface of the foot, a local injury that is slow healing, or the diabetic foot.

nerve re-education

Peripheral Neuropathy is primarily a nerve problem. the primary tool we use is the ReBuilder, a unique electrical stimulation device that opens the nerve paths, re-educates the nerves, re-mineralizes the synaptic junctions between the nerve cells, and treats all the nerves from the toes, up the leg, across the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system synaptic junctions, and then down the other leg. This device is currently used at The Cancer Treatment Centers of America and has been for more than 15 years exclusively and they have reported a 93 percent success rate in the reduction of both pain and numbness.
