Treatment can be as varied as the neuropathies, as everyone and every neuropathy can be so different.  For example, if one has hand and foot neuropathy due to a self-medication issue such as alcoholism, one treatment can be very obvious; stop the drinking, repair the nerves and most likely the neuropathy will not reoccur.  In other words, a "self-medicating" neuropathy can be totally reversible.  However, a diabetic neuropathy cannot - that is, not unless one could somehow totally reverse the diabetes which caused the neuropathy in the first place!

So, what we are saying here is, very few neuropathies are totally resolvable; and we do not claim a cure for any neuropathy or other condition such as arthritis or restless leg syndrome!  However, it is quite possible to reverse symptoms, eliminate some symptoms and manage others to such a degree that the neuropathy no longer negatively effects the quality of ones life!

How do we do this?  "QUITE WELL," is the joking answer; but the truth be known, treatment works for approximately 90% of our clients.  Some doctors, such as Dr. David Phillips, whom we have studied quite extensively with and the Cancer Treatment Centers of America both claim a 95% relief ratio.  We fall approximately 5% lower than that as we treat more than just diabetics such as Dr. Phillips, and Cancer such as the treatment center.  We treat stroke victims, MS victims, Tourette Syndrome victims, those with arthritis, RSD, Restless Leg Syndrome and much much more.

Some of our clients require sensorimotor stimulation, others anodyne light therapy or vibrational therapy, still others require oxygen and neuromuscular therapy, others physical massage.  Some may require hypnosis for pain control or to modify their eating habits while still others require all of the above plus exercises and nutritional therapy (which we farm out) as well!

So, there is no easy way to say exactly what we might do for any average person walking in off the street!  This is why we have such an extensive intake process and why we sometimes refer out to certain doctors or chiropractors to address other issues!

How many treatments are necessary?  It depends upon the severity of the neuropathy, they type, the age of the person affected and how willing they are to follow the directives needed for recovery; i.e. stretching exercises, sensorimuscular exercise, etc.  Generally, treatments start off twice or three times per week (depending upon the severity of the neuropathy) for two to three weeks.

following, once per week (again, depending upon the severity of the neuropathy) for several more weeks while tapering down to once per month.  Most of our clients only see us once per month or so just for a "maintenance" treatment, so to speak.  Generally speaking a total of 20 main treatments are required.  However, again as every is different, some people require more or less treatments.  For example, we just had one client whom was unable to cross his legs or lift himself out of a chair by himself.  After one treatment he was able to cross his legs.  After his second treatment, he was able to stand up from a chair unaided.  After his third treatment, all pain and numbness was gone.  He is holding off until he feels he needs another treatment before coming back!  Another new client found similar results after only 4 treatments; claiming a 90% reduction in pain and numbness.  He now only comes in as needed.  It should be point out, however, and we want it well known, that these are not typical results!  Most clients need several treatments; but one should be able to tell if the process is going to work for them after only two or three treatments.

As we don't want you spending your hard earned money needlessly - especially with todays economy - we ask that you "track" your own progress rather than just simply take our word for it that you might be getting better.  Each starting client receives two pages - one regarding numbness and tingling and the other regarding pain - for them to track their own progress on.  For example, we will ask you coming in, "on a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being no pain at all and 10 being the worse pain you could imagine, where would your pain today before treatment fall?  What about after treatment?  What about before you go to bed that night?"  Through your own tracking, you will be able to see in black and white if treatment is working for you or not.  If not, then simply discontinue treatment.  You are never "locked in" to any treatment plans and may stop without penalty at any time!  In the same sense, you will be able to track your improvements and perhaps see what might be triggering upsets or advances in pain reduction.
