You are not alone-as over 20 million Americans have peripheral neuropathy. Dr Marc Spitz, author of the Numb Foot Book, will host a presentation on all aspects of neuropathy, including causes and the latest treatments. “Although neuropathy is not curable, my goal in treatment is to slow down the progression of the condition and to help relieve some of the very uncomfortable symptoms of neuropathy, such as pain, burning numbness and tingling. Prescription medications such as Lyrica and Neurontin may work some of the time-but they often have a lot of side effects. ” Learn about more natural approaches such as vitamins, supplements,
antioxidants, and non-invasive treatment such as laser and infrared therapy.
Many neuropathy sufferers have balance problems when walking. Tips on improving balance will be addressed at the talk. Also there will be a discussion on “East meets West”-the latest thinking on innovative approaches using Eastern approaches such as acupuncture, Tai Chi and yoga.
