for those afflicted with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), Missouri Southern Healthcare has a new therapy program that has shown great strides in returning circulation to feet, lowering the pain and frequency of falls that most people with diabetes suffer.

The therapy must be given in 40-minute increments three times a week for 10 to 20 weeks. Most usually, it is the pain relief that patients notice first, with better sensation and more balance becoming apparent after several treatments.

according to a study conducted by Anodyne Therapy LLC, 88.8 percent of 784 patients studied found excellent to total relief from pain using the MIRE technology. As for sensation and balance, those studied felt sensation at an average of 0.9 sites prior to treatment that increased to 2.7 sites after treatment. Ninety-eight total falls were recorded 90 days before treatment with only four falls recorded following treatment.

I wonder how this compares with benfotiamine which several people have found to be quite effective.

Neuropathal has given relief to many with diabetic neuropathy, specifically foot pain. Everyone is different though so good luck finding what works for you.
