Neuropathy Program

Contact us today to schedule a complimentary nerve screening with a Neuropathy specialist.

It’s time to take control of your neuropathy instead of the other way around.

Neuropathy literally means weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage. When nerves become damaged – they don’t send the proper signals to your body. The weak nerves send irregular signals when they’re not supposed to or they don’t send signals at all.

Neuropathy (Peripheral Neuropathy, Idiopathic Neuropathy, Circular or Vascular Neuropathy, Diabetic Neuropathy) can occur anywhere in the body, but it is most common in the feet, legs, and hands. The abnormal signals sent by the sick nerves in these areas can cause many symptoms, such as pain & burning sensations, pins & needles, aching, tingling, numbness, and shooting pain. Other patients may experience more severe symptoms as Neuropathy is a progressive disorder. The stabbing, burning, and tingling of peripheral neuropathy can be tough to ignore, but NIVA Health offers safe and effective treatment solutions to minimize the unpleasant sensations that this condition causes.

Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

“People are fed by the FOOD industry which pays no attention to HEALTH, and are treated by the HEALTH industry which pays no attention to FOOD.”
– Wendell Berry

Inflammation isn’t always bad—it’s the body’s natural way of repairing itself. Inflammation in the body occurs when you hurt yourself or get sick, like when you get a cut, or come down with a cold. But when you’re in a state of inflammation daily resulting in a chronic issue, it can lead to a whole list of health problems, including Peripheral Neuropathy.

This is often triggered by eating unhealthy foods that stimulate an inflammatory response in the blood which causes your Neuropathy symptoms to become more severe and even worse, more painful.

Benefits of a healthy, whole foods, anti-inflammation nutrition plan include:

  • Decreased Inflammation
  • Decreased dependency on medications for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, etc.
  • Slows the aging process
  • Lowers the risk of Heart disease, Alzheimers, Bowel diseases, and more chronic illnesses
    • If you qualify for NIVA’s Neuropathy Program, we will teach you what this new lifestyle of nutrition looks like. How much of this eating plan will you have to follow? Well it depends on how much better you want to feel. Your results will depend on how well you are able to adhere to this nutrition plan. We will be with you every step of the way ensuring the transition to a new, healthier lifestyle is smooth.

      Red Light Therapy

      Studies indicate that infrared light therapy is effective in helping produce or even restore a normal sensory threshold back to the feet, legs, and hands of patients that suffer from Neuropathy symptoms.

      Red light therapy emits infrared photo energy to increase circulation and temporarily reduce pain in the area where it is applied. It has been designed to maximize the effectiveness of this energy by using highly efficient light emitting diodes (LEDs) when placed directly on the skin. Our therapy lights help to increase circulation and regenerate the damage done to the nerves.

      After treatment, foot sensitivity showed improvement of 66% and pain levels decreased by 78%. Patients that have completed NIVA’s Neuropathy Program and continue to follow the program after completion at home have seen a 78% reduction in falls, and a 79% decrease in balance- fear related of falling. Imagine being able to get back to doing the things you haven’t done in so long, like a long walk on the beach, playing a round of golf, or being able to hold your grandkids. With our program we make these things possible!

      Acoustic Sound Wave Therapy & Electrical Stimulation

      Sound wave therapy – also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) – is a quick, non-surgical, and painless treatment performed to stimulate regrowth of tissue. At NIVA Health, we perform ESWT right in our offices.

      Low and high-frequency sound waves are used to cause microtrauma to the tissue under the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process in the area. Originally used to break up kidney stones, ESWT is used to break up a scar or other tissue and encourage tissue repair and regrowth. ESWT can alleviate pain associated with a number of conditions, including:

    • Achilles tendon injuries
    • Erectile dysfunction (we use GAINSWave®)
    • Golfer’s elbow
    • Ligament injuries
    • Plantar fasciitis
    • Rotator cuff injuries
    • Tendonitis
    • Tennis elbow
    • Trigger finger
    • What You Can Expect with Sound Wave Therapy

      During the procedure, you simply lay back as a wand is gently moved over the surface of your skin, sending sound waves to the target area. While the device makes a loud clicking noise as it works, the procedure is entirely painless.

      Like similar services offered at NIVA Health, ESWT triggers your body to repair the damaged area. Thus, it may be weeks before you notice the full effect of the therapy.

      Each session takes under a half-hour to complete. Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired results.

      Sound wave therapy is yet another way to relieve your pain or other symptoms without medication or having to resort to surgery. It’s an excellent addition to any pain management treatment plan.
