Neuropathy | ReVive Health Centre

What is neuropathy?

Neuropathy is when the nerves, typically in hands and feet, start to degenerate. When this happens is can cause pain, numbness, tingling, burning, cramping, difficulty with balance or walking, loss of strength and even difficulty with pulling things out of your pocket. These symptoms occur because the nerves lose the ability to communicate with the brain. The main cause is diabetes or pre-diabetes. Other main causes include chemotherapy, trauma, agent orange and drugs/alcohol. The onset can be either gradual or sudden and it can feel like death sentence to some. It will affect every aspect of your life. As the disease progresses, the skin can start to ulcerate, leading to infections and even amputations.

What is Sanexas RST NeoGen?

The RST Sanexas NeoGen is an electrical device that sends electrical waves produced by an ultra-high digital frequency generator. These therapeutic pulsed energy waves are comfortably and non-invasively delivered directly into the area of complaint. It helps treat circulatory issues, all types of acute and chronic pain, long-term (intractable) pain, and drug-resistant pain. It also helps with muscle strengthening and relaxation of muscle spasm.‍

What is Acoustic Sound Wave therapy?

Acoustic Sound Wave Therapy is a device that uses a compressed air ballistic pulse wave generator. This acoustic pulse is transmitted into the tissue, causing mild irritation. That irritation signals the body to turn on the healing process. It delivers an evidence-based, non-surgical solution for patients suffering from acute or chronic pain.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a another method we use. Acupuncture has be used for thousands of years and has been a great way to help treat neuropathy. By inserting needles on specific points in the skin, the body perceives this as a microtrauma that it must heal. In doing so it sends blood and growth factors to repair it, and in the process it heals the surrounding tissue that's causing your neuropathy in your hands or feet.

We have a few other techniques that help but it's important to know that your treatment plan is tailored to you. You may or may not benefit from some of the options available, therefore that's why a consultation is important so we can gather all of your health history to see if our treatment is right for you.
