3-Part Treatment for Neuropathy

During my early conversation with Dr. Phillip, we centered our discussion on developing appropriate therapies for peripheral neuropathy that could be initially administered in the office and then ultimately in part by the patient at home.

It has been discovered that the common link to almost all cases of neuropathy is the condition called Hypoxia or nerve damage. Because of this, Dr. Phillip and I theorized that anything that can be done to reverse this situation at the cellular level is bound to give patients some improvement in their condition. Clinically, this seems to be the case.

In a treatment that we've developed specifically to address this condition, we have combined manual therapy, nutrition therapy and the application of Rebuilder dual-frequency nerve simulator to help patients who are suffering from peripheral neuropathy.

Specifically, when a patient presents for our program and has been proven to be a candidate for treatment after thorough evaluation, manual therapies are applied. The manual therapies may include spinal manipulation, massage, stretching and exercise therapy. Keep in mind that these therapies are only applied, when indicated, by licensed healthcare professionals and specifically directed towards biomechanical faults. These are identified during the patient's initial physical examination.

Controvery still exists despite the abundant research regarding manual therapy. However, like any good doctor, I have to tell you, that any treatment that has been proven to be cost-effective and is not harmful should be employed first before administering other more expensive and potentially harmful techniques such as powerful medications with unfortunate side effects.

As part of the initial assessment, patients with peripheral neuropathy also undergo nutrition evaluations. Specific dietary supplements may be recommended after performing a thorough nutritional evaluation on a patient. We have found in most patients that the application of ReStore, the supplement invented by Dr. Phillips, seems to greatly enhance the treatment program. But in any case, before a prescription is made, healthcare professionals perform a very thorough evaluation which may include looking into the patients all previous medical background, recent laboratory tests, as well as other tests that the doctor may determine warranted for your particular condition.

The last part of the therapy is the application of a nerve simulator called ReBuilder dual-frequency nerve simulator. The device invented by Dr. Phillip is design to supply neuro-stimulation at the identical frequency that is propagated along the nerve in the human body. The treatment is employed in the clinic using a wet dual-compartment method. Quite simply, a warm dual-compartment footbath is drawn, which consists of water and the application of some electrolyte solution that helps the conductivity of the electric signal into the tissue.
