Neuropathy in Missoula MT

Non-medication treatment for neuropathy and chronic nerve discomfort is available at our Missoula chiropractic clinic. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged causing weakness, burning pain, numbness, tingling, and debilitating balance problems. The damage to the nerves can be caused by many different problems in the body. Poor blood flow to the nerves, toxic levels of sugar in the blood (diabetes), chronic infections, pesticide exposure, and genetic variants are a few of the causes of this debilitating condition. The cause is different for every patient and it must be discovered to help the nerves heal!

Generally, symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in an affected area include:

• Numbness/Tingling
• Burning Pain
• Unusual and/or loss of sensations
• Muscle weakness
• Deep Stabbing Pain
• Balance Problems
• Another common cause of nerve damage is auto-immunity.

Auto-immune diseases are diseases where the immune system mistakenly starts to attack the body. That’s right! Many times the immune system is actually killing the nerves of peripheral neuropathy sufferers. This is why thorough testing is vitally important to helping peripheral neuropathy.

There are many people in our area that still suffer with peripheral neuropathy.  In this day and age there have been significant improvements in the pain management treatments we can offer.  The past treatments for peripheral neuropathy revolved around medication, and many patients were left disappointed.  It doesn't have to be this way anymore.

Is Medication the Answer for Neuropathy?

Medication can be very helpful for a number of things.  The problem is that medication is not generally designed to correct the cause of the problem.  Common sense will tell you that if your treatment is not designed to correct the true problem, you're likely to have disappointing results.  In some cases medication can actually cause new problems to develop in the body because of the many side effects.  We know so much about the human body today.  It's time to move beyond treatments that mask your symptoms.

Is Neuropathy Stealing Your Happiness?

If you have neuropathy you understand how it can make you feel.  Simple things like driving your car or taking a walk with a loved one can become painful and difficult tasks.  When you start to lose the simple things in your life it can truly steal your happiness away.  Many of the patients we meet are in a state of slight depression, because they are not able to do the things they love.  If you're in this position take action.  This is a problem that you can begin to change today.

When you're deciding where you are going to go for treatment, it's important to think about one thing.  Is the treatment you're receiving going to correct the cause of the problem, or is it designed to cover your symptoms?  You see, a treatment that is designed to mask your symptoms will generally leave you disappointed in the end.

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, four 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.

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 in support of our other VITAL COMPONENTS is vital for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our Advanced Nutritional Therapies have been to 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 1x per week for our in-clinic protocol. Each vital component is equally important for patient results.

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 ReEducation (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.
