Does Stem Cell Therapy work for Neuropathy?

I have asked the same question. I have been to two different chiropractors and they offer stem cell injections into the feet and calves to treat neuropathy in the feet. I would like to hear from someone that has had this treatment and how the outcome was. It's expensive to have this done and want more info in the results. Maybe some will read this and help.

@stanstory -- I have no medical training or background but just don't think the science is there yet for stem cell therapy for peripheral neuropathy.

We had a researcher speak at a meeting of the Minnesota Neuropathy Association on stem cell therapy research. I took some notes and added the research links when I got home. The last section of the notes details why the science is not there yet. I believe it's a big hope for all of us but right now there are a lot of people making money off of us folks with neuropathy making dubious claims that it works...and it's very expensive like you said. I certainly want it to be true and hope someone that has had it done will post their success or let us know if it helped.

My first call would be to the Better Business Bureau and see if there has been any complaints against the clinic doing the injections. I would also want to talk with more than one of their patients to see specifically what was done, what diagnosis they had and if it helped them.

Good luck whatever you decide. I know it's not easy to deal with neuropathy in your feet, legs or anywhere on the body. Probably my biggest concern is I wouldn't want to make it worse.
