Most-Advanced & Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Diabetic Neuropathy Available at Painex:
1. Medication– Apart from regular pain killers, medications which act on the nerves are prescribed, which may be needed to be taken long term
2. Sympathetic Plexus Blocks: Certain nerves which are responsible for muscle tone and vasculature in the legs are blocked either chemically or through Radiofrequency ablation. This may help relieve the pain
3. Dry Needling/IMS– This simple technique involves use of acupuncture needles for stimulation of the muscles of the legs and feet. This helps in relaxation of the muscles, improved blood flow, better nerve conduction and pain relief.
4. B0-TX injection– Injection of B0-Tx into the skin of the feet helps in reduction of pain associated with diabetic neuropathy
5. STIMPOD Treatment– This involves passing of an electrical current through the leg nerves, which helps in better nerve conduction, relaxation of muscles and relief of nerve related pain
