Relief from Painful Diabetic Neuropathy
Dr. Jonathan Jones and Dr. Dmitry Garmaev are now offering spinal cord stimulation for relief from painful diabetic neuropathy.
While there is no cure for diabetic neuropathy, which is a common complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, there are options to control the pain.
Dr. Jones and Dr. Garmaev can implant a spinal cord stimulator that sends low levels of electricity into the spinal cord to relieve pain. It is an outpatient procedure that is done under sedation with local anesthesia. To learn more about the procedure and see if spinal cord stimulation may be the right option for your diabetic neuropathy, contact us at 505.609.6830.
There is no cure for diabetic neuropathy. There are four main components of treatment, which include:
