Suffering From Peripheral Neuropathy?
If you have painful sensations like stabbing pain, needling, electric shock sensation, etc., it is time to focus on your health immediately. Painful sensations could indicate nerve problems, such as peripheral neuropathy. It is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is damaged. It has similar symptoms of burning or stinging pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, lack of coordination, and many more. The peripheral nervous system is an extensive network of communications that sends signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and other body parts.
Do you know that around 20 million people in the United States have some form of peripheral neuropathy? It can affect one nerve (mononeuropathy), two or more nerves in different areas (multiple mononeuropathy) or many nerves (polyneuropathy). Meanwhile, most people will experience polyneuropathy. Do you know around 30% of peripheral neuropathies occur as a complication of diabetes? According to the research, 26% of patients with diabetes have some degree of diabetic neuropathy due to the prolonged effects of high blood sugar levels.
Scrambler Therapy Treats Peripheral Neuropathy!
Usually, it is challenging to cure peripheral neuropathy, but you can work toward preventing it from worsening. This is where we come in and can help you as we understand it is common, chronic, and even challenging to treat effectively. Our Scrambler Therapy attempts to work on the pain by providing non-pain information via cutaneous nerves and blocking the pain information. It happens as our Calmare® device, which uses small electrodes, is placed around the pain area on the patient’s skin. It sends brief and mild electrical signals through the body to the brain. These electrical signals “scramble” the message to the brain that indicates the pain in a particular area, then changes the message of no pain to the brain and begin the pain relief. There are no harmful adverse effects, and the patient can find relief depending on their pain intensity.
