Of all the things that might get "on our nerves", pain is the one we need the least. When we experience numbness and tingling into our feet and/or hands, a burning sensation into either or both extremities, a loss of sensation in these areas and weakness in our arms or legs we might be diagnosed with neuropathy. This condition can effect the peripheral nervous system and lead to difficulty with or loss of balance amongst other symptoms.
An accurate diagnosis is essential in developing a treatment plan that will reduce the symptoms and return you back to an active lifestyle. Neuropathy can have a wide variety of causes; the most common are certain vitamin deficiencies, diabetic-related complications (Diabetic Neuropathy), or a side effect of exposure to certain chemical toxins (Chemotherapy Neuropathy). No matter how you acquired neuropathy, the symptoms are due largely to damage to the motor (muscle strength) and/or sensory component of the affected nerves.
MicroVas therapy stimulates nerves, muscles and all 3 branches of circulation (arterial, venous & lymphatic). Quite unlike other forms of electrical stimulation which penetrate only a fraction of an inch and have both positive and negative electrodes on the same surface, MicroVas therapy treatments pass completely through the limb or body area under treatment. MicroVas stimulates blood flow in these regions to remove toxins, speed healing, and restore balance and proper function. This increased capillary blood flow raises the oxygen level in the tissues in order to promote healing.
This therapy can lead to new growth. The MicroVas System also stimulates angiogenesis, that is, budding of new capillaries and generation of denser capillary networks in the tissues. This lays the groundwork for new tissue growth and repair in the healing process. MicroVas has a potent effect on the microcirculation: transcutaneous oxygen probes have demonstrated marked increases in tissue oxygen levels within minutes of initiating treatment. Tissue oxygen levels with successive treatments continue to improve.
The patient essentially just sits and relaxes while the unit is attached to the patient’s leg and gradually increased in intensity to their level of tolerance. The pads that emit the current are placed opposite each other (top and bottom of foot, left and right side of calf, etc.) so the current passes completely through the tissue, not just to a certain depth. Most patients only feel a tingling sensation during the treatment. Micro-Vas therapy is completely non-invasive and has been shown to be a useful way to treat both diabetic and non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
