CareNow offers Anodyne Therapy to treat painful, numb feet, legs and hands. Known as peripheral neuropathy, the condition is commonly caused by diabetes. It occurs when the nerves in the extremities do not receive an adequate blood supply. Anodyne Therapy is also extremely successful in treating slow-healing open wounds and Myofacial pain. Anodyne Therapy will reduce pain and increase sensation to numb areas by improving circulation using infrared photo energy. Flexible Anodyne Therapy pads are used to transmit light to the affected areas. Patients simply relax as the infrared photo energy creates a warm, soothing sensation and increases blood flow to the damaged nerves. Comprehensive treatment of peripheral neuropathy involves 10 to 24 infrared therapy sessions combined with therapeutic exercise, static and dynamic balance exercises, neuromuscular re-education, massage and stretching.
