Peripheral Neuropathy Care in Virginia
There are a wealth of peripheral neuropathy solutions in use today, so there isn’t just one answer to this problem. In many cases, we use a combination of treatments to reduce symptoms and improve mobility for peripheral neuropathy care.
MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for peripheral neuropathy. Poor blood circulation is one of the most common reasons people develop this condition. Laser therapy may help to stimulate better blood flow so that the peripheral nerves are getting the oxygen and nutrients that they need to be healthy. Improving circulation stimulates functional nerve cell components and reduces inflammation.
Other treatment modalities we offer for peripheral neuropathy care are:
- Intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange to reduce inflammation by suppressing the immune system.
- Physical medicine can be beneficial for those who have muscle weakness as a result of peripheral neuropathy.
Additional alternative treatments for peripheral neuropathy care
Deficiencies in vitamin D and the B vitamins may cause this condition; therefore, taking supplements or making the proper changes to your diet to restore these vitamin levels to a healthy range can help reduce your symptoms.
Research shows that capsaicin, a component of cayenne peppers, can help reduce the strength of pain signals in the body to alleviate discomfort. Capsaicin is a common ingredient in topical pain creams. You can massage the cream into the painful areas to reduce pain.
There are a number of medications that can help with the pain and other discomfort associated with peripheral neuropathy, which are usually taken. In most cases, you will take these medications daily to control your discomfort and other symptoms over the long term.
