A Physical Therapist Perspective

Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder that affects the peripheral nerves (feet/hands) and may cause permanent nerve damage.

In diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the myelin sheath, or the protective covering of the nerves, is damaged, which may result in numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms. The effects of neuropathy can worsen over time, leading to significant activity limitations and a decreased quality of life. Approximately 70 percent of diabetic patients will progress to wheelchair dependence if not treated.

"As a physical therapist treating patients with peripheral neuropathy, I am excited to have a safe and effective treatment option to offer my patients who are interested in drug or surgery free solutions and regaining their quality of life," said Jenny Capel PT, Neighborhood Neuropathy Center. “Many patients simply want to be able to drive again”.
