Peripheral Neuropathy Treatments In Sandy Springs

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged causing weakness, burning pain, numbness, tingling, and debilitating balance problems.

The damage to the nerves can be caused by many different problems in the body. From poor blood flow to the nerves, toxic levels of sugar in the blood (diabetes), chronic infections, and pesticide exposure, to and genetic variants, there are a variety of causes of this debilitating condition.

While the cause is different for every patient, it must be discovered to begin helping the nerves heal. At Total Wellness Solutions, we do complete diagnostic testing and evaluation to get to the cause of your peripheral neuropathy, so we can provide the best treatment and care.

While everyone has varying symptoms and levels of pain and discomfort, there are a few symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in an effected area that most people experience to some degree.

Some of the most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:

• Numbness and tingling
• Burning Pain
• Unusual sensation and/or loss of sensation
• Muscle weakness
• Deep stabbing pain
• Balance problems
• Auto-immunity

Auto-immunity refers to diseases where the body’s immune system begins to attack the body, instead of attacking foreign objects and fighting off infections. In many cases, the body’s own immune system is responsible for killing off the nerves, contributing to peripheral neuropathy. Testing is incredibly important in cases of peripheral neuropath, because it can be the results of an auto-immune disease or more serious condition.

While many people suffer from peripheral neuropathy, there is hope! Many studies have shown that peripheral nerves can and do heal. The problem that so many people face is not actually healing nerves that are damaged, but in preventing whatever is causing their nerve damage in the first place.

One the underlying cause of peripheral neuropathy has been discovered and treated, patients can receive treatment and support to heal their damaged nerves.

At Total Wellness Solutions, we ask three questions to get to the cause of nerve damage and determine how to best help patients heal:

• What is the underlying cause of a patient’s nerve damage?
• How severe is the nerve damage?
• What types of nerve fibers are damaged?

The treatment that we provide for peripheral neuropathy depends on both the degree of nerve damage and what types of fibers are damaged. While in many cases we can heal nerve damage, there are some cases where damage to muscles is irreparable. In cases where there is muscle weakness from neuropathy for greater than two years, the damage to the muscles will probably be permanent.

The human body has two types of nerves– sensory nerves, which are both small fiber nerves and large diameter nerves and motor nerves, which control the movement of muscles.

Our peripheral neuropathy treatment has four primary goals:

• Optimize the environment within the body for nerve healing
• Increase blood flow to the damaged nerves
• Stimulate damaged nerves to reduce pain and improve balance
• Decrease brain-based pain using natural healing methods

Our exclusive treatment system increases blood flow to the nerves in the feet and/or hands, which helps to rejuvenate nerves naturally. In fact, we have helped restore nerve function and feeling to many of our patients’ feet and hands –all without resorting to invasive surgery or addictive medications.

Total Wellness Solutions uses a proprietary and comprehensive treatment program that incorporates up to eight different state-of-the-art technologies and is unlike any other peripheral neuropathy treatment program that you may have experienced.
