Peripheral Neuropathy Westchase

WESTCHASE PT SPECIALIZES IN TREATING PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY. OUR CEO AND LICENSED PHYSICAL THERAPIST JOHN MAGEE HAD GROWN INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE LIMITED AND UNSUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HIS MOTHER MARION.

Marion was 59 years old and a type 2 diabetic when she was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in both her feet. Marion had diminished sensation and pain in her feet, due to diminished sensation and an inability to feel the ground, her balance suffered greatly. In just 12 months she had fallen 3 times, each time she suffered a head injury causing 3 TIA’s (mini strokes).

Marion was prescribed medications that are typically prescribed for peripheral neuropathy. Not only did the drugs not help but one of the many side effects was dizziness! Marion was already suffering from balance problems. Dizziness from the medications made the balance and falls worse. Marion lost total confidence in walking and became housebound. This culminated in further physical and mental deterioration. In Marion’s words “Peripheral Neuropathy destroyed my life”.

This unfortunate series of events encouraged John to begin a crusade. A crusade that took 3 years to research and develop the most evidenced based peripheral neuropathy treatment system that he could find, one that actually works, and, does not involve drugs, shots or surgery!

Marion was John’s first patient, she achieved fantastic results. Her pain level dropped considerably and had full sensation back in her feet. More importantly, Marion was able to leave her apartment and go shopping again with her two daughters without fearing she would fall.

John’s treatment system has helped many Peripheral Neuropathy patients improve their symptoms and not just in the Tampa Bay are. John’s treatment system works so well that he actually teaches it to other practice owners across the US and Europe with the goal of helping as many patients as possible get relief from this debilitating condition.

THE TREATMENT PROGRAM INCLUDES 3 COMPONENTS;

1. EVIDENCED BASED EXERCISE PROGRAM PERFORMED IN THE CLINIC WITH THE THERAPIST. EXERCISES INCLUDE; NERVE GLIDES, BALANCE RE-EDUCATION, STRETCHING AND STRENGTHENING (BASED ON ASSESSMENT FINDINGS).

2. ANODYNE INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY PERFORMED AT HOME BY THE PATIENT.

3. DIET & LIFESTYLE ADVICE BASED ON THE LATEST RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FOUNDATION OF PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY.
