Do you have foot pain? Are you assuming this is normal, either for your age, activity level, or shoe choice? Well, we are here to tell you that foot pain is not normal. Whether it is heel pain, arch pain, toe pain, nail pain, or bunion pain, having feet that hurt is not normal. It does not matter how active you are, or how old you are, having painful feet is not normal. There are many causes for foot pain, but there are also many treatment options available for virtually every type and cause of foot pain. Sometimes the options are as simple as an insert in the shoe, other times same-day surgery may be ultimately needed. Regardless, foot pain is not normal to have, needs to be treated by someone highly experienced in foot and ankle care, and if ignored can potentially lead to long term chronic pain that is difficult to treat. If you are experiencing foot pain, do yourself a favor and see our podiatrists for immediate relief. There is no reason to suffer any longer.
Indiana Podiatry Group would like to announce the arrival of Neuremedy, a medical supplement designed to help treat peripheral neuropathy. Many people suffer from feet that feel like they are numb, burning, stinging, tingling, or feel like pins and needles are coursing through them. Many of these people have diabetes, and a complication called diabetic neuropathy. Others have this condition due to nutritional deficiencies, or may have it simply for no known reason. Recent studies have shown that those with peripheral neuropathy, as the condition is called, may have low blood levels of the essential nutrient thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine is essential for the nerves to function properly. Food alone may not sufficient to elevate the levels of the nutrient enough to counter this deficiency in the nerve tissue. Neuremedy was created for this purpose, as it has a more bioactive form of thiamine called benfotiamine. Benfotiamine has been used since the early 1960's to successfully treat peripheral neuropathy in Asia and Europe. Neuremedy does not have any adverse effects, nor does it interact with any medication.
This product is safe, effective, and can work in as little as a few days, although some people may require a month or two before the benefit is noticed. It does not work in everyone, like any medication used to treat peripheral neuropathy symptoms, and has results that vary based on each individual. However, unlike other neuropathy medications, there are no debilitating side effects and no known medication reactions, so there is no harm to be had by simply trying it. In those it is effective for, the amount of relief obtained may be substantial and possibly life-changing depending on the severity of the nerve pain.
Neuremedy can be purchased in our offices for a reasonable cost, typically far less than the copayment for many prescription neuropathy medications
