Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting information between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. These nerves are essential for controlling movement, sensation, and other bodily functions. When the peripheral nerves are damaged or dysfunctional, it can lead to a range of symptoms and discomfort.
How Peripheral Neuropathy Starts?
Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by various factors. One of the most common causes is diabetes, as high blood sugar levels can damage the nerves over time. Other causes include autoimmune diseases, infections, traumatic injuries, chemotherapy, and structural damage to the spine.
The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can vary depending on the extent and location of the nerve damage. All nerves in your body need three things to stay alive: oxygen, glucose, and stimulation. When you are missing any of these or getting too much glucose this causes the nerves to break down which can lead to muscular weakness, cramping, burning sensations in the legs, hands, or feet, and pain in many areas of the body. These symptoms can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, making it important to seek proper diagnosis and treatment.
A Breakthrough in Neuropathy Relief
Omega Functional Health specializes in addressing Peripheral Neuropathy through a multi-pronged approach to deliver the best results possible to you, so you can get back to living your life. First, we utilize the latest technology in regenerative medicine to stimulate your body’s own stem cells, the repairmen of your body, to start to rebuild the damaged nerve tissue. Along with stem cell migration, we also promote blood flow to the damaged areas allowing oxygen to saturate the tissues.
Next, we stimulate the damaged nerve pathways. Many times, with Peripheral Neuropathy, the full nerve signal does not make it to the spine and brain. When this happens, the muscles get weak, and the ultimate result is pain. By reactivating the pathways, we promote a full sense of connection from the brain to the feet.
Lastly, we address the structural or metabolic issues causing the neuropathy. In some people, damage to the spine impinges on the nerves, much like stepping on a garden hose, blocking the transmission of nerve communication. By addressing the spinal damage we can open up the signals allowing for proper nerve communication.
In others, the diabetes needs to be addressed for full resolution. We provide a comprehensive metabolic renew program that helps get your blood sugars back under control and reduce inflammation so your body has the greatest chance of healing.
The Benefits of a Multi-Step Approach for Neuropathy Relief
With Peripheral Neuropathy there is never just one problem causing the issue. It is a mixture of spinal damage, poor blood flow, damaged nerve tissue, and poor metabolic health which leads to symptoms of pain, burning, tingling, and numbness. Much like the code on your phone, you have a unique health code that needs to be unlocked for you to achieve your most optimal results. By cracking your health code, we can create a custom plan to address your needs allowing you to finally break free from the pain, burning, numbness, and the medical merry-go-round.
