Neuropathy

Diabetes affects the small blood vessels throughout the body. This leads to problems with kidney function, vision, and also impairs the nervous system. Diabetic patients are at higher risk for stroke than the rest of the population. One of the complications associated with degeneration of the nervous system is neuropathy. This results from a degeneration of the nerves in the feet, which leads to numbness and burning shooting pain. We are currently offering a clinical trial for a medication which may help relieve this neuropathic pain.

Post Herpetic Neuralgia

Post Herpetic Neuralgia is commonly known as Shingles pain. This occurs when a virus invades the nerve resulting in a painful blistering along the nerve.
