Electronic Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathy, a nerve disease most prominent in senior citizens and diabetics, commonly causes muscle pain, weakness and spasms. Unfortunately, there is no neuropathy cure. Traditionally, drugs are prescribed for neuropathy treatment. However, with advancement in medicine an alternative neuropathy treatment has been discovered. Electronic neuropathy treatment involves utilizing electric therapy, which has proven so effective that some call the treatment method a neuropathy cure.

  1. Neuropathy

    • Neuropathy is a nerve disease which can develop slowly over time or within a short period. Neuropathy occurs when the nerves do not receive enough oxygen. To cope with the oxygen dilemma, the nerves go to sleep. The distance between the sleeping nerves and other nerves in the body grows. Signals from the brain will be unable to properly flow through the nervous system. This can result in poor muscle control and lots of pain.

    Risk Factors

    • Diabetics and people over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable to neuropathy. Development of neuropathy is often linked to diabetes. Certain medications can also lead to neuropathy. Other nerve conditions, like nerve compression and laceration, can cause neuropathy. Neurological tests, such as a spinal tap and an EEG, aid doctors in diagnosing cases of neuropathy.

    Electric Therapy

    • An electric therapy kit allows a person to self-administer neuropathy treatment from home. Electric therapy kits are available only through a doctor's prescription. Electric therapy works by sending an electric signal through the nervous system, waking up the sleeping nerves. The signal detects and continuously sends the proper strength of a signal needed to get the freshly awakened nerves to work again. By stimulating the nerves to work, damage done by neuropathy can be reversed. This is why electric therapy can be considered a neuropathy cure. It has helped over 70,000 get relief from neuropathy.

    The Process

    • The electric therapy kit comes with a handheld control unit and conductivity pads, gloves and socks. Once you choose your method of conductivity put on the conductor. Pads should be placed on the bottom of the feet by following the instructions that come with the electric therapy kit. Turn the unit on using the handheld control. A light on the handheld unit will turn on every time a signal is sent through your body. Administer the neuropathy treatment when you have 30 minutes to sit down and relax. You should feel pain relief throughout the 30-minute session. The relief can last up to eight hours following the electric therapy session. The more you use electric therapy, the longer the relief should last.

    Considerations

    • Not treating your neuropathy can lead to conditions like abnormal heart rate, constipation and sexual dysfunction. Drugs prescribed for neuropathy treatment only mask the disease's symptoms. Electric therapy is the only neuropathy treatment known to actually reverse neuropathy symptoms. It has proven to be 95 percent effective, even acting as a neuropathy cure in some cases.
