Diabetic Neuropathy
Painful Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment at Pedes Orange County
Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) is a nerve disorder that causes chronic pain in the feet and legs in people with diabetes. It affects roughly half of all adults with diabetes and can significantly reduce quality of life. PDN is caused by high blood sugar levels that damage nerves over time. The symptoms of PDN include tingling, burning, and shooting pains, as well as numbness and weakness in the affected area. Traditional treatment options for PDN include medications such as pain relievers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. However, these treatments are often ineffective and can have unpleasant side effects.
Introducing Nevro HFX: A Non-Drug Treatment for PDN
Nevro HFX is an FDA-approved, non-drug treatment option that provides long-term relief from chronic pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. It is a small device, placed in a same day, outpatient procedure, that safely works inside your body to significantly reduce your pain and restore your quality of life. Nevro HFX has been used to treat over 100,000 patients with chronic pain and is backed by extensive clinical research.
How Does Nevro HFX Work?
