Diabetic neuropathy is a serious complication of diabetes that results from prolonged high blood sugar levels damaging nerves throughout the body, most commonly in the feet, legs, and hands. This condition affects nearly 50% of individuals with diabetes, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, burning sensations, and even loss of sensation in affected areas. Left untreated, diabetic neuropathy can lead to balance issues, infections, and decreased mobility.
At OrthoGen Health, we specialize in non-surgical regenerative therapies designed to repair damaged nerves, improve circulation, and reduce chronic pain. Our team is committed to using cutting-edge regenerative techniques to help patients manage nerve pain naturally and regain mobility.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”
How Regenerative Medicine Supports Nerve Healing in Diabetic Neuropathy
Traditional treatments for diabetic neuropathy focus on symptom management through medications, nerve blocks, and lifestyle modifications, but these do not repair the underlying nerve damage. Regenerative medicine offers an innovative, science-backed approach to healing nerves and restoring function by utilizing the body’s own biological materials.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP is derived from your own blood and contains high concentrations of growth factors that accelerate nerve healing and reduce inflammation. PRP injections near affected nerves can stimulate repair, improve circulation, and enhance nerve function.
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes are tiny cellular messengers that facilitate communication between damaged nerves and healing cells. They help reduce oxidative stress, improve nerve function, and promote nerve regrowth.
Studies indicate that PRP therapy can significantly improve nerve conduction and reduce pain in diabetic neuropathy patients, with some patients experiencing up to 60% pain reduction over time. Additionally, exosome therapy has been studied for its potential to enhance nerve regeneration by increasing cellular repair mechanisms.
Non-Surgical Nerve Regeneration for Long-Term Relief
At OrthoGen Health, we believe in a patient-first approach that focuses on healing rather than masking symptoms. Our minimally invasive regenerative treatments are designed to slow the progression of diabetic neuropathy, restore nerve function, and improve overall quality of life–without relying on long-term medications.
