NEUROPATHY
What Is Neuropathy?
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. Poor blood flow to the nerves, toxic levels of sugar in the blood (diabetes), chronic infections, pesticide exposure, auto-immune disorders and genetic variants are a few of the causes of this debilitating condition.
The cause is different for every patient and it must be discovered to help the nerves heal!

Can Peripheral Nerves Heal?
Yes! It is well established in the scientific literature that peripheral nerves can and do heal.
The key issue is that not only do we need to get the nerves healing but we have to stop whatever is causing the nerve damage in the first place.
When the underlying cause of the neuropathy is discovered and proper support for the nerves are provided it optimizes the ability for the nerves to heal!
