Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most frustrating conditions to live with. The burning, tingling, and numbness in your hands and feet never really let up. Over time, the pain can make walking feel unsafe, sleep feel impossible, and everyday life feel like something you're just enduring. Many patients have tried medications like Gabapentin, only to find that the relief fades even as the doses increase.
Peripheral neuropathy happens when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged. These are the nerves that carry signals between your body and your brain, telling you when something is hot, cold, sharp, or painful. When they're damaged, those signals get scrambled, which is why neuropathy pain can feel so unpredictable and so hard to treat.
At Joint & Spine, we offer Dr. Gigante's Peripheral Neuropathy Recovery Method, a proven approach to neuropathy therapy that doesn't rely on drugs or surgery. Our team has an 85% success rate with this program, and most of the care takes place at home.
If you're tired of managing your symptoms and ready to work toward real recovery, request an appointment today to find out if you're a candidate.
Dr. Gigante developed this neuropathy therapy program after years of researching the most effective non-invasive approaches to nerve damage treatment. The results spoke for themselves, and what was once a condition Dr. Gigante declined to treat is now one of the most successful programs at our clinic.
The Peripheral Neuropathy Recovery Method combines two powerful therapies:
Patients come into our Waldwick clinic once a week for 13 sessions to receive both therapies. Between visits, patients follow a daily Neuro-Photonic home therapy program that extends and reinforces the in-office treatment. Because so much of the care happens at home, the program is more affordable and easier to commit to than most neuropathy treatments.
At the start of the program, we perform a Toronto Scale evaluation, a standardized assessment that measures the severity of your neuropathy symptoms. We repeat this evaluation monthly so you can see your progress clearly as your care continues. Knowing that things are actually improving makes a real difference in how patients feel about their recovery.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that occurs when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or not functioning properly. The most common causes include diabetes, autoimmune diseases, infections, exposure to toxins, and certain medications. Symptoms typically include burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp pain in the hands and feet, and they tend to get worse over time if the underlying nerve damage isn't addressed.
Bio-modulation laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the affected tissue. This stimulates the mitochondria inside your cells, essentially encouraging them to produce more energy and repair themselves more efficiently. For patients with peripheral neuropathy, this process helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation to the damaged nerves, and support the growth of new nerve tissue. It's completely non-invasive and painless.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF, has strong clinical support as a nerve damage treatment. It works by delivering low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to the affected tissue, which helps reduce pain signals, improve blood flow, and create an environment where damaged nerves can begin to heal. When combined with laser therapy as part of our neuropathy recovery program, patients typically see much better results than with either treatment alone.
