Does Stem Cell Therapy work for Neuropathy?

Has anyone tried stem cell therapy for their neuropathy and had any luck? Where did you go for treatments, did your insurance cover it? I've read quite a bit about stem cell therapy and would be more than willing to try it if it helped ease the burning, tingling, numbness, pain, etc.

Hi, @pjfrahm - I wanted to let you know that as @johnbishop suggested, I've moved your post here where other members are talking about stem cell therapy for neuropathy. Click VIEW & REPLY in your email notification to go to the site and read the previous posts in the discussion.

Hoping members like @rcicchillo @alphawolftom @ludite @jordanabrams30 @stanstory @jenniferhunter can let us know if they have gotten any stem cell treatments thus far and if so, if their insurance covered this.

Have any medications or other therapies you've tried thus far had any helpful effect, pjfrahm?

I have just been to conference at a local hotel showing basically the same information and stating that it will cure both diabetic and peripheral neuropathy. Offered at a discount price of $5312 per shot. They also stated that the shot can be split in 2 and applied in each leg. I have been trying to find a reliable source of info to verify or not the effectiveness. I just joined here within the last hour. I am sorry that it did not work for you but at the same time you have helped myself and many others to avoid this type of false and predatory claims. THANK YOU !!

I haven’t tried stem cells, as I just can’t find any research that shows it has any great affect. I still think there is a lot of hope for future success, I just don’t think the science is there yet. I have been doing a great vitamin protocol that has seem to hault any progression, and will start intraneural facilitation at Loma Linda hospital Monday in hopes of further healing the nerves. Also to answer the question I don’t believe stem cells are covered by insurance yet.

Hello @jlsoerens -- Welcome to Connect. I have no medical training or background but I've not read any breaking news about the use of stem cell therapy for neuropathy. I did a search and could not find any posts related to anyone who has tried it. However I did find an interesting article on using stem cell therapy to treat arthritis.
