Ideas for pain relief from Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN)

Has anyone tried electrotherapy for small fiber neuropathy, specifically the ReBuilder? I read about in the book "Reversing Neuropathy" by Dr. Brian Prax. It is like a TENS unit, but it supposedly transmits nerve signals from one foot to another. It is supposed to measure your actual nerve signals and tries to cancel out the "bad" signal. I talked to a local retired physical therapist who has used it extensively and he says he has a 80% improvement rate. I made an appointment with another physical therapist to try it out. Does anyone know anything about Dr. Brian Prax? He seems to have a lot of ideas on how to relieve neuropathy symptoms.

Hi @cwallen, There is another discussion you might be interested in that discusses using the Rebuilder.

Can you let us know how your appointment goes if you try it?

My son knows one person who has used the rebuilder, and swears by it. I know you can even by your own, and there are websites for it. I also saw it being sold by a chiropractor on eBay. New ones cost about 1200.00 or so, if I remember correctly. I almost bought the one on Ebay, but it just kind of bugged me why the chiropractor was selling it. He told me he just did not have much use for it in his practice, but I wondered if he was selling it because it did not help people much. I never bought one, and as I have said, I just heard about one person who has gotten relief from it. I have listened to Dr. Prax on youtube. How was his book? I almost bought it. I think he made a point though, that if a certain percentage of nerves are damaged, the neuropathy is irreversible. I think I thought mine was irreversible. He is a bright guy who does all kinds of health videos. Anyway, best of luck...Lori Renee
