All-Star Healthcare Physical Medicine: Tailored therapies can decrease pain in neuropathy patients

As summer enters with a bang in South Texas, many have plans to head to the beach with family and friends. Sadly, for many, this idea is not a dream but a nightmare. For the population who suffer from neuropathy, the idea of going to the beach brings thoughts of painful grains of sand on their nerve sensitive feet and extremities. The anxiety of feeling every grain of sand as if it were a needle jabbing into their skin with every step on the beach, is enough to keep neuropathy patients home and away from the beach or any outdoor activity this summer. But do they have to stay in?

Over 20 million Americans suffer from neuropathy; it is typically assumed that the disorder is associated with diabetes. However, recent studies have shown that 70 percent of the 20 million are not diabetics. Today, there are over 100 different recorded causes of neuropathy, including but not limited alcohol, vitamin deficiencies, and the inflammation of nerves. Without knowing where to turn, thousands in Texas are searching for ways to reduce the pain.

Enter AllStar Healthcare Physical Medicine in San Antonio, where a staff of healthcare providers and technologists offer tailored neuropathy treatments ranging from nerve injections, vitamins/nutritional programs, and specific physical modalities that have changed the lives of those suffering from chronic nerve pain. Additionally, patients who have received these customized treatments have seen a reduction in swelling and pain in as little as one week. Others have lost the "freezing" or numb and tingling feeling altogether and are now living full productive lives.

"Our therapies have provided us with the ability to drastically decrease pain in most patients," states Charles Hardin, MD of All-Star Healthcare Physical Medicine, "We evaluate and use the effective elements of countless treatments available for neuropathy, including laser, medications, lotions, creams, vitamins and many others for customized treatments. Based on our research, our experience, and more importantly, the improvement we have seen in our patients, we believe we have assembled the best treatment program available to those suffering from neuropathy."

Tailored treatments for patients of All-Star Healthcare Physical Medicine have seen life changing results. "Our goal is to relieve patients from chronic pain and help them return to leading purpose-filled lives," reports James Silva, All-Star Healthcare Physical Medicine, CEO. "When a patient's nerve pain is so severe that they cannot sustain their own weight, we make it our mission to get them back on their feet!"
