NERVE INJURIES & PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHIES
Living with peripheral neuropathy can be extremely challenging and frustrating. The pain and changes in feeling can affect nearly every part of your life and make everyday activities like balance and walking very difficult. Your NeuroRescue Program is designed to help identify the nervous system pathways that may be contributing to your symptoms, with therapies chosen to support how those systems work, and the goal of helping you get back on the path to the life you want to live.
WHAT IS A PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition in which nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are injured or breaking down. This keeps them from working properly and can lead to a wide range of symptoms. Peripheral neuropathy can show up in many different ways and places. It most often affects the feet and hands, but it can also affect the face, arms, legs, chest and back.
Peripheral neuropathy can cause pain, numbness, weakness, pins and needles, burning or other uncomfortable sensations.
CONDITION TYPES
CIDP | Diabetic Neuropathy | Nerve Injury | Sciatica | Small Fiber Neuropathy
OUR TREATMENTS
Peripheral neuropathy can have many different causes. It can result from nerve injury, genetics, inflammation, toxins, alcohol, certain medications such as some chemotherapy drugs, vitamin deficiencies such as low vitamin B12, or conditions such as diabetes. The problems with walking, balance, coordination and pain that come from peripheral neuropathy can be made worse by changes in how the central nervous system is working. Problems in the spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum and brain can make neuropathy much harder to live with. We use computerized testing and a detailed neurological exam to help identify which pathways may be contributing to these problems. We look at the systems that may be involved and create a rehabilitation plan designed for you, with the goal of helping you get your neuropathy pain under better control and improve your function.
Our care works alongside your physician, podiatrist and other providers, never in place of them. Please don’t change or stop any medication without talking with your prescriber. If you have diabetes, check your feet every day and see your medical provider right away for any sores, wounds or color changes. Get medical care right away for weakness or numbness that comes on suddenly or spreads quickly. Read More
RESEARCH-GUIDED CARE
Clinical research keeps providing new insights into the causes of peripheral neuropathy and the systems involved. A number of testing methods and therapies have been studied for improving quality of life for people living with many types of peripheral neuropathy. We use this research to help guide your testing and to design a therapy program aimed at the best possible outcome for you. Results vary from person to person. You can find some of this research here. Learn More
“Really amazing facility - I can see why people travel here from all over the United States. Staff and testing technology they use is outstanding.”
“In their Intensive Program, they used eye movement therapy and different balance therapies to reduce my symptoms significantly in one week. In addition, they prescribed a home care program specified to my nerve injury, so I keep improving every day. Their approach is empowering, encouraging and effective. No drugs to detox. No incisions to heal. This is natural medicine at its best. The care is kind, expert, and incorporates the latest in diagnosis and treatment technologies.”
