Neuropathy is a condition characterized by nerve damage, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. It predominantly affects the feet and legs, sometimes feeling like walking on clouds or, in severe cases, shards of glass.
What Causes It?
There are over 300 different causes of neuropathy, with diabetes and chemotherapy being the most common. Other causes include infections, autoimmune diseases, inherited disorders, alcohol use disorder, exposure to toxins, and low vitamin levels.
Each patient’s neuropathy has a unique underlying cause, and our dedicated team focuses on uncovering it to provide the necessary therapies to promote nerve healing.
The Importance of an Accurate Diagnosis
An accurate diagnosis is critical to confirm the presence of neuropathy and identify its root cause. At Rassel-Daigneault Holistic Health Center, we assess nerve function and circulation using comprehensive examinations like the Toronto Clinical Scoring System, a 16-point assessment that evaluates both nerve function and circulation. Recognizing that symptoms might manifest in the feet but originate from elsewhere, such as the lower back, is essential for a targeted treatment approach.
A Holistic Treatment Approach
We use state-of-the-art modalities, including SoftWave and laser therapy, to relieve the symptoms commonly associated with peripheral neuropathy. Our expertise and experience have helped thousands of patients find lasting relief.
Our goal is to improve the environment within your body to promote nerve healing. The approach we take for our neuropathy patients focuses on the following:
- Optimizing Nerve Healing—We create an environment conducive to nerve regeneration by addressing underlying factors contributing to neuropathy, such as inflammation or nutrient deficiencies.
- Increasing Blood Flow—through targeted therapies, we aim to enhance blood flow to the affected nerves, which is crucial for nerve health.
- Stimulating Damaged Nerves—we use advanced techniques to stimulate damaged nerves, promoting pain reduction and improving balance.
- Reducing Brain-Based Pain—our holistic approach includes methods to alleviate brain-based pain signaling, relieving neuropathic discomfort.
