Helpful treatment

Posted by fran77 @fran77, Dec 26, 2024

I am 76 yr old female. I've had PN for approximately 8-9 years. I take 1200 mg Gabapentin which works well for me with no side effects. From what I read, I know I am blessed.
About 3 years ago, I did participate in a treatment for PN. It wasn't a promise of a cure. I did and do find it helpful. It consists of using NerveSpa 2 x a day. It helps control the pain. It consists of a tens unit but putting your feet in water. It's very soothing. The treatment also consists of MedMassagrer which is for circulation to the feet. That is done 2x a day for 30 minutes each. Also, Red Light Therapy. This is for helping the nerves heal. This takes a few minutes each day.
When I was going to the office for the initial treatment, I got a spinal adjustment from the Chiropractor as this treatment plan was administered by his office.
I have found all of this to be very helpful because I haven't needed an increase in Gabapentin. As to whether my PN has improved, I can't say. But it hasn't gotten worse.
This information is not meant to be a how-to but general knowledge of this treatment. As with any treatment, there is the proper way to do it.
It took untold years of how I got PN so I also don't expect a quick recovery, if any.
I have no regrets about paying for this treatment, which I now do at home.

I put my feet in 50 degree water for maybe 3 to 5 minutes. It takes the burning away. Decreases foot pain to very low level. Sometimes it takes a second time to get the same effect. Doesn't cost hardly anything.
