Break free of diabetic neuropathy pain!
Do your feet burn at night?
Does even the touch of a sheet cause pain?
Do you feel like you are walking on nails?
Do you feel like ants are stinging your feet?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, you could have diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy can cause debilitating pain in the hands and feet, significantly impacting your quality of life.
Diabetic neuropathy is treated first with conservative therapies, including:
- changes in lifestyle, behavior and/or diet
- improving the management of your diabetes
- physical therapy
- medications
However, only 1 in 3 patients will find sufficient relief from pain with conservative treatment. If you are suffering with painful diabetic neuropathy and medications haven’t helped, spinal cord stimulation might be the right treatment for you.
Spinal cord stimulation has been approved since 1989 to treat chronic pain. The FDA recently approved this therapy for treating painful diabetic neuropathy.
Spinal cord stimulation stops pain signals from reaching the brain, allowing you to sleep soundly and enjoy your daily life with far less pain.
What are the benefits of spinal cord stimulation?
Spinal cord stimulation is an effective therapy that relieves pain by 50% or more. Other benefits include:
- Eliminates the need for pain medication and reduces the risk of hospitalization by 50%
- Temporary trial ensures that the treatment works BEFORE undergoing implantation surgery
- Relief is long-lasting, with studies showing no increase in pain after 8 years
