Title New Treatments for Neuropathy: Take Control of Your Pain!

Neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nerves in the body become damaged.

You can choose from topical pain medication to prescription medications to alternative treatments as well. In this episode, we take a quick look at some of the treatment options for neuropathy.

Title: Treating Wounds With Low-Level Electrical Therapy: New Research

People suffering from chronic non-healing wounds are usually recommended exercises by their doctor or physiotherapist to strengthen muscles and improve circulation, which are vital for a healthy recovery. A new study suggests that low-level electrostimulation therapy could also be used to treat such wounds, as this therapy has previously been shown to increase metabolic functioning in treated tissues through increased mitochondrial activity in skeletal muscle tissue (in mice). The studies listed below describe some of the research related to electrostimulation therapies and wound healing that is available currently.
