Peripheral Neuropathy

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is weakness, shooting pain, tingling, numbness, and sensitivity that occurs as a result of nerve damage. Peripheral means “on the outside,” and peripheral neuropathy refers to neuropathy that affects the nerves carrying information from the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) out to the rest of the body. Peripheral neuropathy often begins in the feet and hands, and moves inward as it progresses.

Is TeslaMax® Technology Your Answer for Peripheral Neuropathy?

The TeslaMax is an electrical stimulation device that is unlike any other technology currently on the market. It uses a proprietary form of alternating current (AC) to stimulate deep, painless muscle contractions in neuropathy-affected areas such as the feet and legs. These powerful muscle contractions dramatically increase local circulation and move out fluid build-up—both of which greatly accelerate the body’s natural ability to repair the nerve damage that causes neuropathy.

Most muscle stimulators (including TENS devices) use direct current (DC), which can painfully sting and even burn the skin while creating only weak muscle contractions. The TeslaMax, on the other hand, uses Tesla-Based Technology to penetrate even the deepest muscle fibers for an experience that is unlike anything patients have tried before. It is hard to understand just how profound the difference is between the TeslaMax and other muscle stimulators until you try it for yourself.

What Happens During a TeslaMax® Treatment Session?

1. At the start of each TeslaMax treatment session, the patient will place electrodes on their feet and legs, according to physician instructions. The most common electrode placement Is on the bottom of the feet and on the muscle of the outer shin, as shown in the image above.

2. During treatment, electrical currents will travel back and forth between the two electrodes, causing the muscles of the feet and lower legs to contract and relax in intervals.

3. Painless muscle contractions push blood into tissues and move fluid build-up out. This increases blood flow and reduces swelling.

4. Treatments are performed once or twice daily, and usually last 30 to 45 minutes.
