What Is Medical Financing? Getting the medical care you need in the U.S. can be very expensive. Even if you have health insurance, your insurance provider may not cover many procedures that are considered to be “elective.”
Neuropathy — also called peripheral neuropathy — is nerve pain that occurs when one or more peripheral nerves are damaged or injured. The peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord (the brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system). Peripheral nerves carry signals from the brain and transmit them to other areas of the body — the hands, feet, arms, legs, face and internal organs. Damaged or dysfunctional peripheral nerves can cause you to feel pain, weakness, numbness, tingling and loss of motor skills in different areas of the body.
There are three types of peripheral nerves that could be affected by neuropathy:
The symptoms of neuropathy depend on which type(s) of nerves are damaged.
There are multiple things that may cause neuropathy, including health conditions, traumatic accidents, medications, or vitamin deficiencies. And some cases of neuropathy have no known cause. The following is a non-exhaustive list of conditions or events that could lead to nerve damage:
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, please call your doctor. Peripheral neuropathy has many potential causes, and determining the correct underlying cause of nerve damage will help your doctor find the right treatment to ease your symptoms. If your neuropathy is caused by an underlying condition, managing your condition will be the primary goal of treatment.
In some cases, treating or correcting the underlying cause allows the damaged nerves to recover and heal. In other cases, neuropathy can’t be cured, in which case the primary goals of treatment are reducing symptoms and slowing or stopping the progression of nerve damage. Traditional treatment options may include:
Many people also find relief by living a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise, healthy eating, quitting smoking and limiting intake of alcohol. Additional therapies that can help improve day-to-day life include massages, acupuncture, chiropractic care, yoga and meditation.
Unfortunately, chronic pain can be incredibly challenging to treat, and often involves trial-and-error treatments, a multidisciplinary approach and constant management. All chronic pain is different and some people don’t respond to the standard treatments listed above. If that’s the case for you, and you can’t find any relief from moderate to severe neuropathic pain, scrambler therapy may be an option.
In the past several years, scrambler therapy has been used to treat several types of chronic pain, including neuropathic pain. The procedure is non-invasive, safe and incredibly low risk. Scrambler therapy uses electrical impulses to send “non-pain” messages across the same nerve fibers that are sending “pain” messages to the brain. It “scrambles” the pain information and replaces it with non-pain information. The human brain is neuroplastic, which means it has the ability to adapt, form new connections and rewire itself. After several scrambler therapy sessions, the brain will accept and seek out the non-pain information as the correct message from the nerve fibers.
