Toni @avmcbellar here is the one I contacted in the Minneapolis area - https://realiefcenters.com/. They make it sound really good and they have customer testimonies but they show some charts for each person for where they were before they started treatment and how they are doing after treatment. Doesn't mention how many treatments, how much it cost or how they measured their success. I'm just really skeptical even though I've read and watched their videos - Really, pinwheel & tuning fork tests used as standard neuropathy tests?? RUN Forrest RUN because life is not a box of chocolates when you have neuropathy. 🙂

No, but life might be a box of chocolates for some of these con artists, unfortunately. It's the same with the supplements. I remember when Linda started her neuropathy journey we ordered all sorts of neuropathy supplements that supposedly "cured" neuropathy. At best they were ALA, B1, B12, and maybe a couple herbs. At worst they ended up causing pain with some wacko assortment of goodies someone must have figured made sense for PN with no research. We learned the hard way the first year, then found out you have to deep dive into the internet yourself to get the best answers that are out there. What a trip! Hank

Yes, I am familiar with the one n Minneapolis, but it was a few years ago. At that time, and I actually made an appointment, they were saying that you probably would need at least 10 treatments to see if the treatment was effective. The cost of each treatment was $250, not covered by insurance. I never went back, although I know of a few people who did go through with the treatments and found some reduction in pain. But then if the pain comes back, you need to go for more treatments. Check them on their website. They now have clinics in 7 states. Realief Neuropathy Center

Sorry it's so late, but I just now found your post. I participated in a clinical trial for neuropathy at UIHC in Iowa City IA last summer. The PhD in neurology tested me every 2 weeks, and the "tuning fork" is indeed a legitimate tool using the vibrations to test nerve sensitivity. I don't know what you mean by "pinwheel" but sharp and blunt pins were also employed. So, not quackery.
