Managing Peripheral Neuropathy Post Chemotherapy

Excitable Neurons!!


Several days ago I saw a young man who developed peripheral neuropathy in his feet with level 7 pain secondary to chemotherapy for colon cancer. This is technically called CIPN or Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. His podiatrist made some great orthotics that helped some, and I added Neural flossing and Lidoderm Patch Rx on my first visit. The article below has a nice discussion of the problem and treatments. I have many other treatments, like Calmare, Neural Flossing, Quell, previously discussed on this blog.
