Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment
Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment St. Louis
Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) is a major, long-term complication of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy often presents as tingling, loss of sensation, pain and numbness in the legs, feet, arms and hands. This loss of sensation can preclude sensation of injury, leading to development of wounds or ulcerations. When not adequately treated, the risks of infection and ultimately amputation are high.
Diabetic neuropathy has been considered an irreversible disorder with traditional treatments focused on preventing the progression of the condition; or reducing the pain symptoms with drugs or specialized footwear. However, treatment with nerve decompression surgery to address the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy now have an established clinical track record. Many clinical studies have been published reporting the value of nerve decompression surgery in the treatment of peripheral diabetic neuropathy.
If you suffer from diabetic neuropathy, physicians from Neuropax Clinic can determine whether surgery might be appropriate for you. A comprehensive evaluation will be performed to determine whether you have compressed nerves that may respond to surgery. We have already helped many patients regain sensation and get relief from pain with this surgical approach. Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment is available in St. Louis at Neuropax Clinic.
