Non-Surgical Treatments for Neuropathy

Neuropathy or nerve damage is a condition that occurs when the nerves on the exterior of the spinal cord and brain have been injured, and communication between the brain, spine, and nerves become confused.

The nervous system is a highly organized and intricate network connecting the brain to the spine and all our organs, muscles, and skin. If this system breaks down, you may experience some uncomfortable symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning, or stabbing pains in the hands or feet.

Neuropathy can be the result of several medical conditions, the leading cause being diabetes. In addition, chemotherapy, radiation, prescription medications, accidents, or injuries may also contribute to neuropathy.

Regardless of the source of neuropathy, it can be crucial to seek medical attention when you are first experiencing symptoms. This can drastically increase your chances of preventing further damage.

Here are some signs of neuropathy:

  • Numbness or tingling in limbs
  • Pins and needles
  • Lightning like pain
  • Restless legs
  • Balance issues or slowed reflexes
  • Burning or freezing sensations
  • Sensitivity to touch
  • Muscle weakness and cramping
  • Sharp pain
  • Arthritis
  • Degenerative disc problems
  • Loss of bladder control
  • Changes in blood pressure
  • Inability to sweat
  • Lack of muscle control
  • Gastrointestinal issues

PRP Injections For Neuropathic Pain

Being diagnosed with neuropathy may seem overwhelming; you may think it means your options are limited to surgery or a lifetime of prescription medications. This isn’t necessarily true, there are options available that don’t require invasive procedures but instead utilize the body’s natural ability to restore and heal itself.

For example, Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) relies on your own blood to regenerate and restore damaged tissue, alleviating pain associated with neuropathy. With PRP, a small blood sample is drawn and separated using a centrifuge to collect the plasma from the rest of the sample.

Once the plasma is isolated into a serum, it is then re-injected into the damaged area. The platelet-rich plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors, cytokines, and peptides that go to work immediately repairing and restoring damaged nerves and tissue.

Most patients report having immediate relief following PRP treatments and continue to feel the effects for weeks following the injection. The accelerated recovery performance system is another natural alternative for neuropathy sufferers.

Accelerated Recovery Performance Treatment

The ARP system uses a patented bioelectrical current together with different exercise techniques to substantially increase the body’s natural ability to repair itself. By using a Direct Current to focus on specific areas, the ARP system increases blood flow to help break up existing scar tissue which aids in healing soft tissue and decreases inflammation more rapidly.

Neuropathy is not a condition you have to suffer with for the rest of your life. If you are in search of a non-surgical one. Non-pharmaceutical options for your neuropathy that provide real, long-lasting relief, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as well as ARP can offer just that.

It costs you nothing to speak to a physician so they can explain how the treatments work and answer any questions you have concerning your recovery from neuropathy pain.
