Hi everyone,
We’re sharing crucial information about neuropathy, a condition that often progresses and worsens if not properly treated. You may know that early symptoms like tingling in the toes can escalate to complete numbness in the feet, eventually affecting mobility, driving, and daily activities, potentially leading to wheelchair confinement and open wounds.
Peripheral neuropathy is a widespread and debilitating condition. In the U.S. alone, more than 20 million Americans are estimated to have some form of peripheral nerve damage. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is particularly prevalent, affecting up to 50% of diabetes patients and ranked among the top 10 leading causes of ill health and disability worldwide. These statistics highlight the significant impact neuropathy has on quality of life, often leading to pain, reduced physical activity, sleep disturbances, and even depression.
The challenge with standard medical treatments, such as medications like Cymbalta, Lyrica, or opiates, is that they primarily focus on suppressing symptoms. These drugs don’t address the root cause of neuropathy and can come with unwanted side effects, including addiction risks with opiates. Without effective treatment, neuropathy often leads to diminished circulation, depleted tissue oxygen levels, and continued nerve cell death.
However, there’s a significant advancement in treating this condition: Summus Medical Laser Class 4 therapy. Unlike conventional methods, this therapy is proven to safely address the symptoms of neuropathy and, more importantly, reverse the progression of peripheral neuropathy.
Our comprehensive protocol for neuropathy includes:
- A structured treatment plan of 16-20 visits that includes:
- Summus Medical Laser Class 4 therapy: Research indicates that the laser energy is absorbed by mitochondrial proteins, leading to improved cellular respiration, increased activation of protective pathways that shield cells from damage, prevention of neural cell death (apoptosis), and enhancement of neurite outgrowth (nerve regrowth). This means the Summus Medical Laser offers a safe and effective solution that works at a cellular level to improve circulation, increase oxygen, and actively promote nerve regeneration.
- Vibration plate therapy for improved proprioception (your body’s ability to sense its movement, action, and location).
- Compression therapy for enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow.
- Targeted supplementation to support nerve health and overall healing.
This multi-faceted approach is designed to effectively manage neuropathy. In 90% of cases, this protocol can significantly reduce or even eliminate symptoms and help restore feeling, aiming to prevent the severe consequences of untreated neuropathy and significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.
We believe this information is vital for understanding neuropathy and the potential for a more comprehensive and effective treatment for a widespread, debilitating condition.
