New Options to treat peripheral neuropathy in Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona…

What is Neuropathy (Diabetic / Peripheral)

The condition known as Neuropathy occurs when specific nerve pathways are damaged as a result of illness or ongoing health problems. These include Diabetes, Transverse Myelitis and Spinal Stenosis as well as a myriad of other causes. Damaged nerves send incorrect signals back to the brain causing the Neuropathy sufferer to feel “scattered” nerve signals – numbness, burning, tingling and impulses of sharp pain. The progressive effects of the Neuropathy are typically felt in the legs, feet, arms and hands.

While medications can sometimes help with the symptoms, they cannot be relied upon to restore health of the nerves. And even if they do work to numb the pain, they don’t address the underlying cause or dangers associated with neuropathy.

The Problem: Nerves Do NOT Have a Direct Blood Supply

Unlike most other tissues in the body nerve cells do not have an external blood supply. The blood vessels that are responsible for feeding the nerves are located within the nerves themselves. Therefore, irritated or injured nerves actually interrupt their own oxygen and nutrient supply. Oxygen-starved nerves are often atrophied and retracted. The distance between the nerve cells grows as the nerve cells shrink and retract making it harder for nerve signals to jump from one nerve cell to another. This leads directly to altered / disrupted nerve sensations such as Numbness, Tingling, Burning and Sharp Pain.

The Solution: A Combination of Proven Healing Treatment Technologies Designed To End Your Suffering.

Patients in Our Neuropathy Program May Receive All or A Combination of the Following Treatments Based on Your Unique Evaluation and Needs…

High Power Laser Therapy: This Technology Bypasses the Blood Stream to Deliver Healing Energy Two Different Ways

1. Laser Therapy Delivers Healing Energy Directly to the Nerve Cells

Class IV High Power Laser Therapy sends bio-available energy directly through intact skin to photoreceptors within the injured cells to “jump-start” the healing process. The photoreceptors act like solar panels. They accumulate and store energy (ATP) which is then used by the powerhouse of the cell (called mitochondria). The powerhouse then releases this energy to activate the healing process.

2. Laser Therapy Improves the Function of Blood Vessels that Feed the Nerves

The Avicenna Class IV High Power Laser sends radiant infrared energy deep into the walls of the blood vessels that feed the injured nerves. This improves the elasticity and function of the blood vessels. As the blood vessels become healthier the nerves begin to thrive. The Laser Therapy improves the oxygenation of the individual nerve cells allowing them to “plump up” and lengthen to fill-in the gaps between the nerve cells. This allows the nerve signals to “jump” from cell to cell more quickly since the distance between the nerve cells is lessened.

The opening up of the electrical pathways and the accelerated nerve cell repair allow for clear, correct communication between the brain and the rest of the body. The result is healthy function and a return to normal sensation.

Hyperbaric Oxygen: This Treatment Delivers Oxygen to the Starving Nerves To Improve Function and Accelerate Healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Also Stimulates the Creation of More Blood Vessels…A Process Called Angiogenesis. Hyper Baric Oxygen Therapy Also Helps in the Nerve Regeneration Process.

During hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the patient breathes pure, 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. (The air we normally breathe contains only 19-21% of this essential element.) The concentration of oxygen normally dissolved in the bloodstream is thus raised many times above normal (up to 2000%). With HBOT therapy, in addition to the blood, all body fluids including the lymph and cerebrospinal fluids are infused with the healing benefits of this molecular oxygen. It can reach bone and tissues which are inaccessible to red blood cells, enhance white blood cell function, and promote the formation of new capillary and peripheral blood vessels. Hyperbaric treatment results in increased infection control and faster healing of a wide range of conditions.

Several studies have documented the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in models of acute and delayed crush injury to peripheral nerves. Intermittent exposure to hyperbaric hyperoxia (increased oxygen) serves to interrupt the injury cycle of edema, ischemia and tissue destruction. Several studies have concluded that the evidence of a link between tissue oxygen levels from hyperbaric oxygen treatment and the health of peripheral nerves is undeniable and after exposure to hyperbaric oxygen these nerves demonstrate characteristics expected in the advanced stages of the healing process.
