Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy can be a devastating disorder affecting all facets of life. Numbness and pain commonly begin in the feet, but may include the legs, hands and arms. In many patients, the pain is worse at night or after exercise.

Peripheral Neuropathy is not a single disease, but rather is the result of conditions such as traumatic injuries, lumbar disc herniations, metabolic disorders (commonly diabetes), use of certain drugs, nutritional deficiencies, and exposure to toxins.

Regardless of the cause of the Peripheral Neuropathy, the effect on the nerves is the same. Damage from the above mentioned conditions decrease the oxygen and nutrient supply to nerves. The nerves cannot function properly, and begin to cry out, causing burning, numbness, shooting pain, weakness, and other troubling symptoms.

Neuropathy affects hand and feet most often.

Peripheral Neuropathy typically begins in the longest nerves that reach down to your toes, which is why most sufferers will have pain in the feet and legs. Symptoms and their severity between patients will vary, depending on which types of nerves are affected and the degree of damage. Signs and symptoms include:

Numbness and tingling in your feet or hands, which may spread upwards into your legs and arms
Burning pain
Sharp, jabbing or electric-like pain
Extreme sensitivity to touch
Lack of coordination
Loss of balance
Muscle weakness or paralysis

Testimonials:

"Before treating with Dr. Bailey, my lower back and legs were hurting and I couldn't walk much. After just six treatments, I've improved about 30-40%." E.G. Curling, Somerville, Texas

"My feet were painful and numb. My left wrist, back, and left toe also hurt. I had very poor balance. In just a few treatments, my balance is improving, and there is no pain in my back or anywhere else. My life is improved. It is so much easier to get around. I also sleep better. I definitely like the treatment. My life is much better." Carillon Rinard, College Station, Texas

"My neuropathy was affecting my balance. I was unsteady to go up or down stairs without holding onto something. Even just walking I had to constantly be aware of where my feet were placed for fear of falling. Now my balance has improved. I am walking 30 to 40 minutes 4-5 times per week. My confidence on stairs has improved. I no longer feel that I am going to need a walker or wheelchair in the near future like I did before treatment." Fran McGuire, College Station, Texas
