Dealing With Pain, Tingling and Numbness From Neuropathy is a Struggle
The emotional toll of neuropathy cannot be overstated. It can affect every aspect of a person’s life, from their ability to work and enjoy hobbies to their relationships with loved ones. Simple tasks like cooking, cleaning, or even just walking become a constant struggle. The constant numbness, tingling, and burning pain as well as muscle weakness can be unbearable, leaving sufferers feeling helpless and frustrated.
The mental impact of neuropathy is often overlooked, with many people assuming that it is just a physical issue. However, the toll it takes on mental health and overall quality of life can be devastating. It is time to shine a light on this sometimes overlooked condition and offer additional treatment options.
Understanding Some of the Causes of Neuropathy
Neuropathy can be caused by a variety of factors, including diabetes, chemotherapy, infections, and injuries. Other factors that may contribute to neuropathy include alcoholism, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders. While the exact cause of neuropathy can be difficult to pinpoint, identifying the underlying cause is important for effective treatment.
Medication vs. New Technology in the Treatment of Neuropathy
Traditionally, medication has been the go-to treatment for neuropathy. However, many medications can cause negative side effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. In addition, some medications may not be effective for all types of neuropathy and that can be frustrating. At Catalyst Physical Therapy, we offer new technology that can provide relief without the negative side effects of medication. Our expert therapists on staff can bring relief through advanced techniques such as
neuro-reeducation, and incorporated with manual therapy.
Nerve Testing for Neuropathy and Nerve Damage
At Catalyst Physical Therapy, we have board certified Electrophysiologists/DPT’s on staff who can perform EMG and NCV testing that can help get a baseline on any nerve damage and the severity. This information helps a great deal to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses each patient’s specific needs.
