An estimated 20 million people in the United States suffer from some form of neuropathy, a condition that affects the normal activity of the nerves that connect the central nervous system — the brain and spinal cord — to the rest of the body.
As Neuropathy Centers, Delray Beach Podiatry and Boynton Beach Podiatry are equipped to treat a wide variety of neuropathy-related conditions, including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), diabetic neuropathy and alcoholic neuropathy.
“We can offer treatments for the lower extremities that most doctors do not have,” said Dr. Ian S. Goldbaum, a podiatric physician and surgeon with over 30 years of experience. “We offer the newest technological advances for the treatment of neuropathy.”
Alcoholic neuropathy occurs in people who drink too much, as alcohol can be toxic to nerve tissue. Thiamine, folate, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12, and vitamin E are all needed for proper nerve function. Unfortunately, drinking too much can actually alter levels of these nutrients and affect the spread of alcoholic neuropathy.
This condition can affect both movement and sensation, with symptoms ranging from slight discomfort to major disability. And although the condition is not life threatening, it can decrease your quality of life.
Symptoms of alcoholic neuropathy include:
– Numbness
– Tingling and burning
– Prickly sensations
– Muscle spasms and cramps
– Muscle weakness and atrophy
– Loss of muscle functioning
– Movement disorders
If you are suffering from alcoholic neuropathy, the best thing you can do is to stop drinking. After that, a podiatrist, such as Dr. Goldbaum, can then focus on helping relieve the neuropathy itself.
As a Neuropathy Center, Dr. Goldbaum has the ability to provide patients with the best care possible through numerous advanced treatments and state-of-the-art technology, including Cold Laser Therapy, Circulator Boot Therapy and Micro-Vas Vascular Treatment.
In addition to these treatments, Dr. Goldbaum also offers his patients numerous products and services to improve the lifestyle of those living with neuropathy, including Gait-Scan Analysis for fall prevention, Circulation Testing, and pharmaceuticals, such as Neurvasia, to treat daily aches and pains and improve vascular health.
The goal of these treatments is to provide individuals suffering from alcoholic neuropathy with effective solutions to quickly improve their comfort and quality of life without surgery.
