Many people struggle with diabetes. I would bet each one of us either knows someone who battles this condition or has it themselves. It doesn’t have to be debilitating, though, if it is treated correctly – and that’s where Neuropathy and Pain Solutions can help!
Diabetes is a disease that impairs the body’s ability to process sugar or glucose, causing the need to take artificial insulin. And whether you or your loved one was born with the condition, or it developed over time, one result can be diabetic neuropathy. This occurs when high blood sugar levels cause damage to nerves in your legs and feet. It can also affect nerves associated with your digestive system, heart, blood vessels, and urinary tract.
Here are some common signs of diabetic neuropathy:
- A loss of feeling or pins and needles sensation throughout the arms and legs
- Feelings of sickness throughout the day
- Trouble going to the restroom or excessive diarrhea
- Filling up after eating smaller than normal meal portions
- Having trouble swallowing food or drink
- Abnormal vomiting after eating a meal
- Difficulties with vision or speaking
- Weakness throughout the muscles of legs and arms
- Excessive or deficient sweating
- Sexual dysfunction in men or women
- Feeling abnormally hot or cold
- Frequent urinary tract infections in women
- Sagging of the eyelids
- Feeling dizzy immediately after standing up
- Increased heart rate or chest pain (be aware of the possibility of heart attack)
- Third Nerve Palsy – The third cranial nerve is one of the most important nerves for maintaining eye motion. As this nerve is damaged due to diabetes, people begin to experience difficulty in moving that eye in almost all directions.
There is a treatment that works to help reduce these symptoms so you can GET BACK TO LIVING! Electric Cell Signaling Treatment (EST) is a non-surgical treatment option. Where we apply carefully controlled electrical signals to the affected region which targets and helps soothe the damaged nerves. EST has a high efficacy rate, providing significant relief for up to 87% of patients who undergo the therapy. In addition to treatment, our medical staff may also recommend physical therapy, ergonomic tools, and stretches.
