What Is Peripheral Neuropathy

Neuropathy is also known as peripheral neuropathy. The peripheral nervous system is the part of the nervous system excluding the brain and spinal cord. This is the collection of nerves that connects your limbs and organs to the central nervous system. It is very common for patients to experience the first symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in their feet and hands, the parts of your body furthest from the spine. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged causing a mixture of numbness, pain, and debilitating balance problems.

Causes of Neuropathy

There is not a single underlying cause for neuropathy. In fact, if there is no known cause, the condition is referred to as idiopathic and makes up nearly 40% of all neuropathies. Almost 70% of Americans with diabetes have developed a form of neuropathy due to the disease. The remaining percent of neuropathies is composed of a group called acquired neuropathies. This group consists of causes such as:

• Alcoholism
• Diabetes
• Poor nutrition and nutritional deficiencies
• Trauma
• Pressure on nerves
• Repetitive movements for extended periods of time
• Various autoimmune diseases
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Lupus
• Toxins/Pesticides
• Heavy metal poisoning
• Various medications
• Certain cancer treatments
• Hereditary neuropathies (from inherited disorders)
• Tumors
• Other diseases, including but not limited to:
• HIV/AIDS
• Lyme disease
• Liver disease
• Kidney disease
• Hypothyroidism

Can Peripheral Nerves Heal?

Yes! It is well-established in the scientific literature that peripheral nerves can and do heal. The key issue is that not only do we need to get the nerves healing but we have to stop whatever is causing the nerve damage in the first place. When the underlying cause of the neuropathy is discovered and proper support for the nerves is provided, it optimizes the ability for the nerves to heal!

In order to effectively heal nerve damage, three factors must be determined:

• What is the underlying cause of the nerve damage?
• How severe is the nerve damage?
• What types of nerve fibers are damaged?

You have sensory nerves (both small fiber nerves and large diameter nerves) and motor nerves (that control movement of your muscles) NOTE: If there is muscle weakness from neuropathy for greater than two years the damage to the muscles will probably be permanent!

How much treatment will the nerves require to heal?

This will be dependent on the degree of nerve damage and what types of fibers are damaged.

The treatment we provide has four main goals…

1. Optimize the environment within the body for nerve healing.
2. Increase blood flow to the nerves.
3. Stimulate the nerves that are damaged (small fiber, large diameter, or motor nerves) to reduce pain and improve balance.
4. Decrease brain-based pain.

Our exclusive treatment system increases blood flow to the nerves in the feet and/or hands, which helps to rejuvenate nerves naturally and has returned many of our patient’s feet and/or hands to normal. No surgery. No addictive medications.

Our proprietary and comprehensive treatment program utilizes up to 8 different state-of-the-art technologies and is unlike any treatment program you may have already experienced.

4 Vital Components Of Our Missoula MT Neuropathy Treatment Protocol

1. Electromagnetic Infrared Therapy

One of the treatment technologies we use to increase blood flow and repair the nerve is our new Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). The light therapy signals Vasoendothelial Growth (VEGF), which signals the production of angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels, which are needed to repair nerve damage. These blood vessels grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. This technology has 21 peer-reviewed studies with a 97% success rate with peripheral neuropathy.

2. Electrostimulation

We use state-of-the-art digital electro-therapeutic stimulation to assist in the growth of the nerves called Nerve Re-Education. This is used by the Cancer Centers of America in order to help those going through Chemotherapy rebuild their nerves. Nerve Re-Education can even be done at home, so therapy can be done daily! The results can be immediate in both pain relief and restoration of normal sensation.

3. Advanced Nutrition Therapy

Proper nutrition is vital for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our Advanced Nutritional Therapies have been designed to accelerate the healing process by affecting the complex processes of inflammation, blood flow, and bioavailable nitric oxide.

4. In-Clinic Visits & Online Education

In synergy with your home infrared electromagnetic & electrostimulation therapy, you will visit the office 1-3 times per week for our in-clinic protocol. Each component is equally important for patient results.

What Do Nerve Cells Need In Order To Heal

Nerve cells need two things to heal…

1. Fuel
2. Activation

This makes the combination of high-powered lower-level light therapy & nutrition (FUEL) and Nerve Re-Education (ACTIVATION) the perfect 1-2 punch for nerve regeneration!

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

It's important to see a doctor if you are experiencing any abnormal pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in your arms, legs, wrists, ankles, hands or feet. When a condition such as this is diagnosed early, you are able to control the condition and potentially prevent more damage. It is also recommended to see a doctor if you are having difficulty with sleep due to foot cramping or if you have a small cut on an extremity that doesn't appear to be healing normally. Our team at Montana Neuropathy and Spine Center in Missoula MT is here to help.
