When peripheral nerves, the nerves responsible for sending sensory information between your brain and central nervous system, become damaged, it often causes weakness, numbness, or pain in the hands and feet, or sometimes in other regions of the body. This damage and the symptoms that accompany it is the disorder known as Peripheral Neuropathy.

Electrical Stimulation Therapy sends electrical signals to nerves to compensate for nerve malfunctions, relieve nerve pain, stimulate the cellular healing process, and rebuild damaged nerves. The patented waveform the ReBuilder® uses adapts to each patient's particular needs and has shown to be 94% effective for patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy.

Scrambler Therapy with the Calmare® device has received FDA clearance in the United States for treating chronic and acute pain associated with neuropathy. It provides a non-invasive approach to chronic pain relief with no side effects and may lower medical costs over time.

The Calmare® device uses small electrodes carefully placed on the skin around the area where the patient is experiencing pain. The Calmare® device sends brief, mild electrical signals through the body to the brain. These electrical signals “scramble” the message to the brain that tells it that there is a pain in a particular region of the body, then the signals change the message to the brain, basically telling it that there is no pain. What is happening here is that the Calmare® device is sending low doses of stimulation to the nerves, which produces the “no pain” message, and that is when pain relief begins. The beauty of receiving treatment using the Calmare® is that the device avoids the harmful, potentially fatal, adverse side effects and addictive properties linked to narcotic painkillers.

Infrared Light Therapy is an advanced low-level light therapy that has been around for ages. Some would even say that it’s been around as long as the sun because it produces the same type of light. The difference is that Infrared Light is more focused on a particular area of pain or discomfort.

When the light touches your skin, the warming sensation you feel is the ultraviolet rays penetrating your skin to reach the deep tissues and nerves. These rays help increase blood flow and circulation to benefit the body’s cardiac system, regenerative abilities, and nerve rehabilitation.

Over time your cells deteriorate or get injured, and when that happens, they lose their magnetic charges - and with them, the ability to exchange ions. Symptoms like inflammation, fatigue, and pain are caused by damaged cells with low charges. PEMF technology targets the affected area, helping to restore cells’ healthy electromagnetic charges.

Devices that utilize PEMF technology emit electromagnetic waves at different frequencies to stimulate and encourage your body’s natural recovery process. The idea is that pulses at low frequencies can pass through the skin and penetrate deep into the muscle, bones, tendons, and even organs. This process activates the cell’s energy and promotes natural repair mechanisms. Depending on the extent of the issue, PEMFs can address a slight imbalance quickly and can provide more substantial change over time.

Cold Laser and Warm Laser Therapy are both Class IV Laser Therapies, also known as Low-Level Light Therapy. These therapies have successfully treated acute and chronic injuries and provide many benefits, such as pain reduction, reduced swelling and inflammation, improved muscle strength, increased endorphin levels, repair of damaged cells, and improved joint movement. Class IV Laser Therapy can also be used right after a new injury has occurred to speed healing, restore any disrupted joint function, and stop further damage.

At SF Bay Peripheral Neuropathy in San Ramon, we have used this therapy on patients who have sports injuries, sprains or strains, chronic inflammation, and chronic knee pain. Many patients have reported a substantial improvement in their pain levels and mobility following only a few treatment sessions.

Nutritional Therapy has shown to be beneficial for patients suffering from neuropathy. Our Nutritional Therapy incorporates healthy eating guidelines, meal planning, an approved foods list, food journaling, and a nitric oxide boosting kit to support anti-inflammation, regulate blood sugar levels, and increase blood circulation. These components work together to improve the chronic diseases causing a patient peripheral neuropathy.
