Devices to ease peripheral neuropathy symptoms

Posted by larssen @larssen, 2 days ago

I have seen an ad for Dr. Ho’s MotionCiser , which seems to provide heat, vibration and movement to the patient with chronic lower leg issues. Does anyone know if there is serious research on this? Dr. Ho has been at this for a while now. Peer reviewed proof would be nice.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

All I can say, in reference to this device, and all the other so-called scams is> "Ho, Ho, Ho...". Save your dough!

@larsseI agree with @heisenberg34.
Screams scam to me. I am very sceptical of these devices, supplements and so forth. some people believe taking supplements prevent neuropathy from getting worse, but I’m skeptical of that too. Seems I'm skeptical of most everything, lol.
I've had neuropathy for 40 years and I've never bought any device or any supplements. I think if these devices, supplements worked, the forums would be full of how effective and great they are, but unfortunately that's not what I’m seeing. I tried Gabapentin & Lyrica and neither helped my neuropathy or seizures. I just bought the most comfortable shoes I could find and used orthotics my podiatrist made and tolerated it.
Take care,
Jake

interesting gabapentin and pregabalin work great for me. I couldn’t function without them. I can function basically normally with them 1500 mg of gabapentin hundred milligrams of pregabalin. It’s amazing how some of these drugs work perfectly on people and he had on other people I seem to get absolutely no relief from them. as far as supplements supplying your body with nutrients can’t be all bad. I do believe that most pseudo cures offered commercially on television and on Internet are totally bogus. That’s pretty much all right right now.

Funny how, once I was diagnosed with IPN, I started seeing all kinds of ads for solving one's pain and suffering from neuropathy. That's the negative of spending a lot of time on my computer reviewing articles on neuropathy! Or, mentioning with "Alexa" in the background! Agree with so many others that an "EXPERT" Chiropractor has discovered the cure for neuropathy is purely one more way for them to reel you in! Legitimate medical journals and my connecting with Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins and other top resources will let me know when there is a "cure" for neuropathy!! Not the chiropractor in the local strip mall pedaling "Neuropathy cures!"
(P.S. I am NOT criticizing chiropractors, as the majority are legitimate and serve a wonderful purpose in the medical community! Just those who push false promises.)

Hello @debbie316, Welcome to Connect and our neuropathy club (of sorts 🙃). While there is no cure there are things we can do to improve our quality of life with neuropathy. Mine is idiopathic small fiber PN and fortunately I only have the numbness and none of the major pain. What's the most difficult thing to manage with your neuropathy symptoms?
