Has anyone benefited from treatment claimed by Neuropathy Clinics?
Has anyone benefited from the neuropathy treatments claimed by clinics! I see advertisements on television saying there is help for people who sustained 15% or less nerve damage. Most insurance plans cover the cost including Medicare. I called the clinic to learn more information. The clinic does an initial exam to determine the percentage of nerve damage. They offer help to resolve the neuropathy through a series of visits incorporating exercises. They will determine how many visits to the office will be needed for therapy from the start. I was just curious if anyone has tried this.

John..read your 2020 post..I’m 83, 6’5”, 265 lbs diagnosed with non diabetic neuropathy last September. Started taking Alpha Lipoic Acid until I discovered a better purer source with no synthetic elements is R-Lipoic which I’ve been taking 600 mg a day for several months..in 2025 it’s hard to imagine the medical researchers have yet to discover medication etc to reduce progression etc ..I’m trying to increase exercise and have reduced sweets in my diet.. anything helping who knows..I wear compression socks…and just wish and hope it remains stable. How long have you have it? Thanks Bob
Hi Bob @bigbob5461, I just turned 82 a few months ago. My neuropathy started sometime in my late 40s to early 50s but I never bothered to get a diagnosis until 2016 when I started worrying about the progression. I posted my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
Na-R-ALA (600mg morning/evening) is one of the supplements I take. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of supplements that have shown to help neuropathy in their complementary and alternative therapies document - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/
As a retired 73-year-old male whose 41 year career as a professional healthcare worker, I believe that I am qualified to answer this question.
I was diagnosed with “severe axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy” during my treatment for stage four AML leukemia in 2012. During that time I have visited over a half a dozen so called neuropathy clinics throughout New England. One of those clinics was in the basement of a six story brick apartment house in New Hampshire. Every one of these clinics stated that they had extremely good results with their treatment of neuropathy.
I spent thousands of dollars seeking some sort of relief. I have included a link to the continuation of my story here. My advice is to stay away from those clinics.

There is no universally recognized "true cure" for neuropathy. The effectiveness of treatments largely depends on addressing the underlying cause of the condition. In some cases, if the cause is identified and treated promptly, such as correcting vitamin deficiencies or managing diabetes, it may be possible to reverse or significantly improve neuropathy symptoms However, for many patients, neuropathy becomes a chronic condition requiring lifelong management of symptoms rather than a complete cure.
Personally, I got tremendous results with the RST Sanexas therapy.
For more information about my Sanexas treatments, and their locations, You may call them at 702-315-2999 or 866-SANEXAS. (866-726-3927), and ask to talk to Debbie Hansen. Remember Everyone is different and treatment protocols may vary some due to their length of illness and damage to nerves. They are are there to help answer any your questions or concerns. Please let them know that I gave you this information so that your questions will be answered promptly. For the record, I have never been employed nor am I receiving any financial compensation from Sanexas.

Treatment Approaches
1. Addressing Underlying Causes: Managing conditions like diabetes or correcting vitamin deficiencies can help alleviate neuropathy symptoms
2. Medications: Various medications are used to manage symptoms, including pain relievers, antiseizure drugs (e.g., gabapentin, pregabalin), and certain antidepressants (e.g., duloxetine, nortriptyline) However, these treatments often involve trial and error, and their effectiveness varies among patients2.
3. Lifestyle Changes: Quitting smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding excessive alcohol can help manage symptoms and prevent further nerve damage.
4. Natural and Complementary Therapies: Options like acupuncture, alpha-lipoic acid, and certain amino acids may provide relief for some patients, though more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.

In summary, while some cases of neuropathy can be improved or reversed by addressing the underlying cause, there is no single "cure" for neuropathy. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and preventing further nerve damage.
I went to one of those the cheapest treatment was almost 6,000 dollars. Of course I couldn't afford it.
I have spoken to Ms Debbie Hansen.
The price of their equipment is about 50,000/* US dollars
Plz tell us what is the cost of 1 treatment.
I am it Delhi, India.
I appreciate your candid statement.
Dr Sunil Aggarwal DPT
You are correct, the machine does cost that much. However, the price of the treatment depends on the facility who is sets the price. I do know that here in the United States, the price varies from $75 up to $200 per treatment.
One of the best things you can do right now is to avoid taking more medication unless absolutely necessary. Instead, focus on supporting and improving your gut health. An imbalanced gut microbiome—and conditions like leaky gut syndrome—can be major contributors to inflammation and nerve pain.
I’d also recommend getting your blood sugar levels checked, just to rule out diabetes, as it can also be linked to nerve issues. I:E Diabetic Neuropathy
Hope you feel better soon and start getting some answers.
Thanks.
3 years ago I spent $7500 & traveled 110 miles one way 3 times a week to a clinic in Denver on South Broadway. They did red light therapy, stem cell injections in both feet & legs & electrical stimulation. I also bought a red light boot & a vibrating platform to use at home. It did not work. 1 year later this business went out of business. Be very cautious of spending a lot of money with no money back guarantee if it does not work.
With early chemo-induced neuropathy symptoms, I contracted with the same facility and had the same results. It has been two and a half years since the symptoms started, and they have increased since then, I have found no lasting relief from RX, OTC products, therapy or devices. I wish there was an easy answer, but so far there isn't. And I refuse to try any other "miracle" solutions.
