Gabapentin: Not the Answer for Diabetic Neuropathy!

Hey everyone, today we’re discussing the most common medication, Gabapentin, for Diabetic Neuropathy. Gabapentin is very common and is commonly prescribed for Diabetic Neuropathy. But let me clear something up: It doesn’t heal the nerve damage.

Instead, Gabapentin is a medication primarily used to treat seizures and neuropathic pain. It works by calming overactive nerve symptoms and reducing pain signals

Side Effects of Gabapentin

Common side effects of Gabapentin include dizziness and drowsiness; long-term use can lead to memory loss. Gabapentin works by changing how nerves send a message to your brain, e.g., sending no pain message to your brain or blocking the pain signal. Unfortunately, this does not affect the root cause of your nerve damage, and the nerve damage is still there. Don’t block your symptoms; treat the cause, which is the right way to do it.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy For Neuropathy

We offer several different laser therapies to target the root cause of nerve damage and Diabetic Neuropathy by stimulating blood flow and providing an optimal healthy environment to increase nerve function. Unlike Gabapentin, our Deep Tissue Laser Treatment doesn’t just hide the pain. It works on improving your damaged nerve. Thank you.
