In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking neuropathy study that's redefining treatment options for patients suffering from nerve damage. With special guests Joe McGilvrey (Apex PT) and Ramona von Leden (NeuFit VP of Research), we explore the power of direct current (DC) stimulation and how it's achieving results that no other treatment has before. Specific discussion topics include: Neuropathy affects millions, yet standard treatments only manage symptoms. A recent study in the Journal of Diabetes Research demonstrates that the Neubie's direct current stimulation can actually improve nerve function–and is superior to TENS. Describing and understanding the objective measures used in this study, like EMG and nerve conduction velocity.  How this research paves the way for new protocols in neuropathy, radiculopathy, and nerve regeneration. Could this be the new gold standard for neuropathy treatment? Tune in to hear the science, real patient stories, and what this means for the future of rehab and recovery.  

Did you know that chronic stress is at the root of most modern diseases? From heart disease to diabetes, poorly managed stress can wreak havoc on your body.
