Do you have peripheral neuropathy? Peripheral neuropathy affects the motor and sensory nerves which help to connect your spinal cord to the rest of your organs, muscles and your skin. Neuropathy is more common than you might think! We estimate that more than 20 million people in our country are suffering with some sort of neuropathy. It typically affects older adults; however can strike at any age. The symptoms come and go in some individuals while others say it’s severe and debilitating. The important aspect is that if diagnosed early, neuropathy can be controlled!
Neuropathy is more common than you might think! We estimate that more than 20 million people in our country are suffering with some sort of neuropathy. It typically affects older adults; however can strike at any age.
Even though it seems like a “new” condition, peripheral neuropathy has been around for years; although hadn’t been properly diagnosed until recently. It is commonly misdiagnosed as just a side effect of other diseases like diabetes, cancer and kidney failure. Unfortunately, the development of treatments for neuropathy has been slow going.
Throughout the year, we will offer FREE seminars where individuals can learn how to get back to doing the things they love with our safe, effective, non-surgical, neuropathy treatment program.
Attendees will learn:
- The underlying causes of peripheral neuropathy and the key to prevention.
- The Nobel prize winning discovery that every neuropathy patient MUST know.
- How peripheral neuropathy is diagnosed and when it can be treated.
- 3 simple changes to your diet that can help prevent peripheral neuropathy from developing
- Advanced diagnostic testing to help determine if your condition can be treated.
- A simple home therapy that is used by some of the largest hospitals in the United States to treat certain types of neuropathy.
What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy?
Neuropathy can be caused by many things, but more than 30 percent of those diagnosed with it are told it is from an unknown cause. Diabetes causes another 30 percent of cases. The remainder of cases are caused by autoimmune disorders, toxins, infections, tumors, heredity or imbalances of nutrition.
Neuropathy affects the nerves throughout the body, which control sensations like cold or pain, as well as the internal organs like the heart, bladder, intestines and more! It usually gives off a pain described as burning or tingling in the hands and feet.
Here at One Degree Functional Health, we treat patients with neuropathy by using an innovative and systematic approach to treatment which gets them back to a healthy, happy life. If other treatments haven’t worked for you, if medications aren’t working, if physical therapy isn’t enough, please know there are other options! It’s possible you are a good fit for our program! The techniques we use address the neurological, metabolic, and nutritional factors of neuropathy.
Natural Solution: No Drugs, Surgeries or Injuries
A result of damage to your peripheral nerves, often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also affect other areas of your body.
Many of our patients with neuropathy report that their feet or hands feel just like the picture on the left. Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition affecting more than 20 million Americans and the condition is growing rapidly. In clinics across the country, we have developed a precise and effective system treating peripheral neuropathy. This program is helping thousands of people across the US with this debilitating condition.
The interventions and technology we use are designed to address the multiple factors that can contribute to the development of neuropathy, and provide ongoing relief for our patients. Given that peripheral neuropathy almost always has a vascular component, the first group of therapies we utilize are designed to improve nitric oxide production, nerve re-education, angiogenesis, and increase circulation to the extremities. When we can improve the underlying blood supply to the peripheral nerves as well as address the centrally mediated pain, patients experience substantial decreases in pain, increased balance, and diminished numbness/tingling that is all too common with neuropathy. We have a unique system where you will only have to come in the office one time per week for a period of time, while gaining independence from your neuropathy condition.
Victim Of Natural Peripheral Neuropathy
Are you one of the millions of Americans that suffer from peripheral neuropathy? Have you been told you have to deal with it, live with it, and rely on Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, injections or other dangerous off label drugs with serious side effects? You see, it's not your medical doctor's fault, it's the irrational medical system that continues to treat only the symptom and not the cause.
Figure 1: There are tiny blood vessels that run through the foot.
Are you suffering from numbness, tingling, burning pain, deep stabbing pain, often diagnosed as peripheral neuropathy? Are you having balance problems or have the fear of becoming disabled, needing someone to take care of you and losing your independence?
Figure 2: When the tiny blood vessels start to die off the nerves start to malfunction.
As you can see in Figure 2, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves start to die off. The nerves begin to shrink from the lack of all its oxygen, nutrients, and blood supply. When these nerves begin to die, symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning pain, sharp deep stabbing pain, balance problems, and lastly fatal falls and injuries begin to appear.
Figure 3: When deprived of water, sunlight and nutrient, the plant dies.
The main problem is that your doctor has relied on the "drug cocktail" and exploratory surgery approach which miserably fails. You actually think like a neuropathy expert more than you think. Let me give you an analogy. What do you think of when you see a wilting plant? What does it need?
Exactly! Water, sunlight, nutrients, take any toxins away from its environment for healing!
Figure 4: The blood vessels will grow back around the nerves much like a plant's roots grow when watered.
A nerve is an organism just like a plant, so our goal in our clinic is simple. We must increase blood supply to the nerve so it can heal. But first, ask yourself this question. How many medications will it take to increase blood flow to the dying nerve? You are correct! Medications can not increase blood flow. With our 3 step process, we have a 90-95% success rate with neuropathy.
- Increase blood flow
- Educate small fiber nerves
- Decrease pain signals
One way we increase blood flow is by using cutting-edge technology such as lower level light therapy, also known as LLLT. The technology was discovered by NASA by treating wounds in space. LLT was approved by the FDA in 2001 and is at the fore front of neuropathy treatments. The low level light therapy creates a process called angiogenesis. Angiogenesis means "new blood vessels". It's like watering a plant. The more LLLT a nerve gets, the more it repairs itself, just like a plant would by getting more water, sunlight, and nutrients.

Figure 5: Group 1 you see a nerve with no blood vessels. In group 2 you see a nerve with a spider web of blood vessels after LLLT therapy.
In addition to LLT, we use a cutting-edge technology around a Nobel Prize winning concept allowing increased circulation to the extremities.
It's crucial that once we get new blood to the nerves and creating new blood vessels, to re-educate the nerve back to normal function. By using a device that's used in large hospital chains across the country for neuropathy, we are able to repair the damaged nerves, and start to make them durable once again.
The most common mistakes neuropathy suffers make are to take the "it will go away on its own" or "the medications will get me better" mentality. Doing this for long periods can cause you to reach a point of no return.

“I was on multiple meds, couldn’t sleep and had a pain level of 9. Now I am at 2 and the feeling is back without meds!”
– Mary H.
“I had severe neuropathy and have been in the healthcare industry for over 40 years, so I was skeptical. Now my meds have been cut, my pain is gone and my neurologist is amazed.”
– Mickey R.
