Beating Neuropathy - by John Hayes (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

New protocol dramatically reduces pain, burning and tingling, fosters patient independence too...

What's different about this program?

Managing peripheral neuropathy in private practice can be one of the most frustrating clinical experiences for Primary Care Physicians and Neurologists alike.

Until now, most treatments have focused only on symptom control, largely by way of drugs, and blood sugar control in diabetic patients. Physical Therapy alone often provides little if any lasting relief. As you know, drug costs and patient compliance, as well as medication side effects have left us all wishing there were more as doctors that we could do for our patients.

Well, now there is! Using a combined program of patient care which includes nutrition and diet education, exercise and rehab therapies. Plus, we use clinically tested 7.8Hz electrotherapy. With additional massage techniques and spinal manual therapies where indicated, patients can achieve not only lasting relief, but long term self management. Most patients can then be transitioned to home care with a successful clinical trial.

Whether due to diabetes, chemotherapy or other disorders, neuropathy symptoms share common causes. Nerve tissues are highly vulnerable to damage from diseases that impair the body's ability to transform nutrients into energy, process biochemical waste products, circulate oxygen, or manufacture some components of cellular repair.

Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of peripheral neuropathy in the United States. About 60 percent to 70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of neuropathy. Chemotherapy is another leading cause in our age advancing population.

We are now able to offer these patients cost effective help, with a rapid transition to home care and periodic follow-up visits.
