THE REBUILDER for peripheral neuropathy

Wondering that also. Just was evaluated at a chiropractic office and told I had 50% loss in my feet and wanted to sign me up for a $16,000 one year program to "reverse" it. Had a video with all kinds of convincing testimonials but all the doctors seem to not believe any of these treatments work. I don't have continuous pain and, so far, still reasonably good balance, but I can feel the numbness getting worse and am really worried about the future. Has anyone tried the Bemer for neuropathy. I have one and it seems to have really cut down the the incidence of shooting pains in my hands and feet. The Bemer mat uses Pulsed Electromagnetic waves that they say have been shown to increase blood flow in studies.

Welcome @kjr108, It's always good to do research on expensive treatments when it comes to neuropathy. There are a lot of costly suspect treatments out there with little evidence that they help other than some slick advertising and like you said some convincing testimonials. Unless you know the person providing the testimonial, it's just not enough reason for me to try it. My first red flag is that it's a chiropractic office doing the testing and treating. There is another discussion on PEMF therapy but not specifically for neuropathy:
-- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pulsed-electromagnetic-field-therapy/.
There are a couple of good sites where you can learn more about neuropathy:
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/.
Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy by a doctor or neurologist or is it just the chiropractors office that diagnosed you?
