Hi @calliopy2, Welcome to Connect. You are right, where you live shouldn't reflect our quality of healthcare but unfortunately if you live in an area away from major healthcare facilities that is the case. I looked at their website and see that they have claimed a 75% success rate treating peripheral neuropathy. I see they are still looking for test subjects if you live close or can travel...

I'm thinking a lot of this type of treatment depends on the condition of the nerves - pinched, damaged or dead. I'm not sure a dead nerve would be helped with this treatment but then I'm not a medical professional so really do not know. For me, the cost is quite high considered there is no guarantee. It definitely could be a promising treatment if it really has as high of a success rate as they say.

I wonder if we have any members who have tried Intraneural Facilitation (INF) treatment for neuropathy.

@calliopy2 have you heard about Myofascial Release Therapy? It may be another possibility to help with your spinal stenosis with bilateral neuropathy. @jenniferhunter may have some thoughts or suggestions for you.

Hi John
The first thought that comes to mind is how very true this statement is. I feel the same way about living in New York and not having the means to participate in Mayo Clinic's 3 week rehabilitation program. Substantial care and relief should not be a health care privilege. Unfortunately though, that's the way of the world.
