Are you Stuck in the Merry-Go-Round of Chronic Pain and Neuropathy?

This has become a huge problem in our society. It is estimated that over 100 million Americans suffer from some form of chronic pain.                                                                                                                  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
And of this 100 million, approximately one fourth are patients, perhaps like yourself, who suffer from some form of peripheral neuropathy.                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
A significant number of these are secondary to conditions like diabetes, which can be lifestyle-related.                                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Regardless of what caused your neuropathy, the bottom line is that good treatment has several things in common:                                                                                                                                        

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
One of the most important things to understand is that early active intervention in illness, pain or neuropathy-producing conditions is critical.                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
But this is something we are not really good at!                                                                                                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Unfortunately, patients--and, yes, even their doctors--tend to blow off mild early symptoms rather than aggressively treating what may be happening underneath to cause a patients symptoms like tingling, numbness, burning, loss of sleep, and so on.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
This results in serious consequences. The longer a disease progresses, or the longer the after effects of an injury linger, the more difficult and expensive it comes to treat.
