Hello Coloradobigmama!

Initially at the Neuropathic Therapy Center they test you for gluten, diary, and sugar sensitivities, and later they may also include other food sensitivity testing. I personally had several severe food sensitivities contributing to my neuropathy.

The physical therapy and exercises are not like any physical therapy or exercises I have ever experienced. For the therapy they have you lay on your back, fully clothed, on specially placed wedges and bolsters in a manner that optimizes arterial flow. They then use specific therapy techniques that facilitate increased circulation into targeted neurovascular structures including central and peripheral nervous systems. Both patient and therapist are active in this process. The home exercises are similar to the clinical therapy but designed to be performed by yourself.

I feel keeping on track with eliminating foods that I'm sensitive to and doing my exercises everyday has really helped relieve my neuropathy. Keeping on task with this regime is initially a significant change of lifestyle, but the benefits such as being able to walk without pain make it more than worth the effort.

It's been six weeks now since completing my trearment and still feel that I am making steady progress.
