Living with the discomfort of diabetic or peripheral neuropathy can be challenging, but effective treatment is crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life. 

The treatment of neuropathy involves addressing nerve damage caused disease such as diabetes and structural damage from wear and tear to the spine which can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and burning pain.

In this post, we'll explore common remedies and introduce an innovative solution that offers promising results for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy.

Let's dive into it!

Understanding Neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in individuals with diabetes, alcoholic neuropathy, poor vascular flow in blood vessels and even issues like tarsal tunnel and mineral deficiency. It most commonly affects the legs and feet and is characterized by symptoms such as:

• Numbness
• Tingling
• Burning pain
• Sharp, shooting pain
• Muscle weakness
• Loss of coordination and balance
• Sensitivity to touch
• Changes in skin texture or temperature

These symptoms can vary in severity and may worsen over time if left untreated. Diabetic neuropathy can significantly impact a person's quality of life and may lead to complications such as foot ulcers and infections. Early recognition and management of symptoms are essential for preventing further nerve damage and improving outcomes for individuals with diabetic neuropathy.

Conventional Treatments for Diabetic Neuropathy

While there is no cure for diabetic neuropathy, various conventional treatments aim to manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life for individuals living with this condition. Let's explore some of the most common treatment options that healthcare providers may recommend for diabetic neuropathy.

1. Medications

Medications such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants, such as gabapentin and opioids are often prescribed to help manage the pain associated with diabetic neuropathy. While these medications can provide relief for some individuals, they may also come with side effects and risks.

2. Lifestyle Modifications

Lifestyle modifications, including maintaining optimal blood sugar levels, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking, can help slow the progression of diabetic neuropathy and alleviate symptoms.

3. Physical Therapy

Physical therapy techniques such as stretching exercises, massage, and balance training can improve strength, flexibility, and mobility in individuals with diabetic neuropathy.

4. Topical Treatments

Topical treatments such as capsaicin cream, lidocaine patches, and compounded topical ketamine with magnesium cream may provide temporary relief from neuropathic pain when applied to the affected areas.

There is also a new treatment that many are not fully aware of called Physiologic Insulin Resensitization OR PIR is an amazing new treatment for reversing metabolic syndrome that leads to neuropathy. With several treatments it is known to completely reverse neuropathy with multiple treatments. Here is a link for a study you can read about here:

Electrostimulation Therapy as an Innovative Solution

Electrostimulation therapy, also known as electrotherapy or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), is emerging as a promising solution for managing painful diabetic neuropathy. This non-invasive approach utilizes electrical impulses to target and stimulate the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals.

How Does Electrotherapy Work?

During electrostimulation therapy, electrodes are placed on the skin near the affected area, delivering low-voltage electrical currents. These electrical impulses disrupt the transmission of pain signals to the brain, effectively reducing the perception of pain. Additionally, electrotherapy may stimulate the production of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals, further enhancing pain relief.
