Heal With Regenerative Medicine

The human body is a powerful machine with remarkable self-healing capabilities. When you’re injured or suffering from an illness, millions of cells and growth factors coalesce around the injury site to address the problem. Instead of offering harmful medications or masking the symptoms with painkillers, we use cutting-edge regenerative therapies to catalyze your body’s innate healing properties. Our medical providers encourage natural cellular regeneration, thus empowering you to lead a pain-free life without relying on medications.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy, also called nerve damage, is a condition in which the nerves that carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body are damaged. Neuropathy is a progressive condition — the symptoms start with pain, numbness, tingling, and burning sensations along the length of the nerve but eventually lead to unbearable and debilitating pain. Over time, neuropathy in Marin County can escalate so much that you are no longer capable of performing regular activities and work.

Symptoms of Neuropathy:

  • Numbness in your feet and hands
  • Tingling in your feet and hands
  • Sharp, jabbing pain
  • Burning pain
  • Throbbing sensations
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch
  • Pain while moving
  • Lack of coordination
  • Falling repeatedly
  • Muscle weakness
  • Feeling like your hands and feet are covered
  • Gradual onset of paralysis

Causes of Neuropathy

Nerve Injuries

Nerve injuries can occur for various reasons, such as car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. When the nerves are damaged, they may not be able to properly send messages to the brain, leading to neuropathy.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, can also cause neuropathy. This is because these diseases cause the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues, which can damage the nerves.

Diabetes

Diabetes is another common cause of neuropathy. This is because high blood sugar levels can damage the nerves. Over 50% of all people with diabetes develop neuropathy in Marin County.

Infections

Infections, such as Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus, diphtheria, hepatitis B and C, and shingles, can also damage the nerves and cause neuropathy.

Genetic Disorders

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a genetic disorder that causes damage to the nerves in the feet, legs, and hands. Symptoms usually start in childhood or adolescence and include muscle weakness, numbness, and pain.

Tumors

Tumors can also cause neuropathy by pressing on nerves or producing chemicals that damage nerves. Tumors that commonly cause neuropathy include acoustic neuromas, which grow on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain, and schwannomas, which grow on nerves in the spinal cord.

Certain Medications

Certain medications can also cause neuropathy as a side effect. Some of the most common culprits are the chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer and drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS. In many cases, the neuropathy caused by these medications is temporary and goes away once the treatment is finished.

Vitamin Deficiencies

Vitamin deficiencies can also lead to neuropathy in Marin County. The most common vitamin deficiency that can cause neuropathy is vitamin B12 deficiency, which can damage the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerves. Vitamin B12 deficiency is most common in older adults and can also be caused by certain medications, such as those used to treat stomach ulcers.

Regenerative Treatments for Neuropathy

PRP Therapy

PRP therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a component of blood with high levels of healing proteins, known as growth factors. When injected into the affected area, the growth factors stimulate cellular regeneration, blood vessel formation, tissue regeneration, and collagen production, essentially making your body heal the damaged nerves. PRP therapy promotes healing and reduces pain.

Treatment With Growth Factors

Treatment with growth factors is a groundbreaking treatment for neuropathy. growth factors are unique cells without any defined function, so they can transform into any other type of cell. When injected into injured tissues, growth factors can stimulate natural tissue regeneration and healing. Growth factors are taken from your bone marrow or fat tissues and injected into the affected areas. Like PRP, growth factors also reverse the effects of neuropathy in Marin County.

Chiropractic Care

A chiropractic adjustment is another treatment that can help to relieve neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy often occurs when spinal misalignment leads to the compression of the surrounding nerves. Chiropractors use manipulative techniques to realign the spine and relieve pressure on nerves, reducing pain and other neuropathy symptoms.
