Park North Physical Therapy, located in Morningside Heights near Upper Manhattan, is revolutionizing peripheral neuropathy treatment with NEUBIE therapy.
This advanced treatment is offering new hope for patients experiencing symptoms such as numbness, pain and tingling in their hands or feet, conditions that can significantly impact daily living.
Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Options
Peripheral neuropathy arises when the peripheral nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to the body are damaged or malfunction.
Unlike spinal cord injuries, which can lead to widespread paralysis, peripheral neuropathy primarily affects the extremities, causing numbness, pain, tingling, and weakness.
Common causes include diabetes and chemotherapy, with diabetic peripheral neuropathy affecting 60-70% of diabetic individuals due to prolonged high blood sugar levels.
How NEUBIE Therapy Treats Symptoms of Neuropathy
NEUBIE, which stands for Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulator, employs direct current electrical stimulation to target specific neuromuscular points. This innovative approach enhances neural signaling and muscle function, often yielding significant improvements after just one session.
Key benefits of NEUBIE therapy include:
- Pain Reduction: NEUBIE therapy helps decrease neuropathic pain by modulating nerve signals, effectively desensitizing pain pathways.
- Improved Sensory Perception: Many patients report enhanced sensory perception, particularly those with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, reducing feelings of numbness.
- Enhanced Nerve Function: The therapy improves nerve conduction velocity and distal latency, leading to better muscle function and coordination.
Clinical Evidence Supporting NEUBIE Therapy for Neuropathy
Clinical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of NEUBIE therapy in treating peripheral neuropathy. In a study involving 150 participants across 13 physical therapy sites, NEUBIE therapy significantly improved neuropathy symptoms compared to traditional treatments.
Key findings include reduced neuropathy severity, improved sensory perception, increased vibration sensation time, decreased pain levels and enhanced nerve function.
