Advances in Technology are bringing Hope to Diabetic Nerve Pain & Peripheral Neuropathy Pain Sufferers.

Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition of the nervous system that typically causes numbness, tingling, burning, aching and a variety of other symptoms. Many patients also report experiencing restless legs or throbbing, cramping pains in their hands or feet.

Neuropathy is a progressive condition, meaning it tends to get worse with time. If left untreated for too long, the nerve damage can reach a point where there is simply nothing that can be done. This is why early detection and treatment of peripheral neuropathy is critical in getting the best results.
One of the most dangerous aspects of peripheral neuropathy is the effect that it can have on balance. If the nerves in the feet are damaged and not sending good communication to the brain this results in alterations in balance. Many patients with neuropathy report that they feel unsteady on their feet, or have a hard time walking in a straight line.

This is why we believe peripheral neuropathy is a life and death condition. As balance continues to deteriorate the risk for falls, fractures and extended stays in the hospital increase astronomically.
