THE BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE FOR PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
There are a lot of different explanations leading up to what exactly peripheral neuropathy is: its causes, symptoms, and most significantly, its treatment. The word peripheral comes from the Greek word “periphereia” which means circumference, “neuron” also from the Greek word neuron for nerves and “pathy” from pathos meaning disease. Therefore the definition of peripheral…

Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) is a form of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy that uses low-frequency electrical impulses to relieve pain, improve muscle strength and endurance, and promote healing in conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and injuries. PENS is a percutaneous, or non-invasive, form of therapy, which means it does not require the…

Electrical Stimulation Therapy Paralysis
Paralysis is a medical condition characterized by the loss or reduction of muscle function in one or more parts of the body. This can result from damage to the nervous system, including the spinal cord, nerves, or brain. Paralysis can affect one side of the body (hemiplegia) or both legs (paraplegia) and both arms and…

Electrical Stimulation Therapy For Neuropathy
Electric Stimulation Therapy (EST) is a type of physical therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate the muscles and relieve pain. The electrical stimulation is delivered through electrodes placed on the skin near the affected area and is designed to activate the underlying muscles, reducing muscle spasms, improving circulation, and promoting healing. EST is…
