The Brain-Body Reset for Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects millions of people, causing symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, particularly in the hands and feet. These symptoms arise when the nerves that carry signals between your brain, spinal cord, and the rest of your body are damaged or disrupted. At Minnesota Chiropractic Neurology, Dr. Huffman has developed the Brain-Body RESET Program to address and reverse the underlying causes of neuropathy. This integrative approach focuses on supporting three key systems: the brain, the spine and nerves, and the body’s metabolic system.
Understanding the Causes of Neuropathy Neuropathy can stem from various underlying health issues, but three main drivers are most commonly responsible:
Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can cause damage to nerves throughout the body. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common forms of peripheral neuropathy, affecting both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
Autoimmune Disease: Conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis can lead to neuropathy. The immune system mistakenly attacks nerve tissues, leading to inflammation and nerve damage.
Vascular Disease: Reduced blood flow to the nerves can cause damage over time. Vascular issues, including poor circulation and conditions like atherosclerosis, can contribute to neuropathy by depriving nerves of the oxygen and nutrients they need to function properly.
How the Brain-Body RESET Program Helps Dr. Huffman’s Brain-Body RESET Program takes a comprehensive, multi-system approach to neuropathy, addressing its root causes rather than just managing symptoms. The program focuses on stabilizing and improving the function of three interconnected systems:
1. Brain: Enhancing Neural Function
The brain plays a vital role in regulating the nervous system, including the peripheral nerves affected by neuropathy. Using his background in functional neurology, Dr. Huffman evaluates how well the brain is communicating with the rest of the body. Brain-based therapies, including neurofeedback and specific exercises, are used to enhance brain function and improve nerve communication. This is especially important for patients experiencing numbness and loss of coordination, as strengthening brain activity can help restore proper signaling to the affected areas.
2. Spine & Nerves: Restoring the Communication Pathway
The spine and nerves are the central communication pathway between the brain and the rest of the body. Damage to this pathway can disrupt signals, leading to neuropathic symptoms. Dr. Huffman uses chiropractic adjustments and other supportive therapies to ensure that the spine is aligned and free from any interference that might be hindering nerve communication. Additionally, the Brain-Body RESET Program employs advanced treatments like:
Low-Level Laser Therapy & Class 4 Laser Therapy: To support nerve repair and reduce inflammation.
Sanexas Electric Cell Signaling Therapy & Hakomed Therapy: To support nerve health, reduce pain, and enhance nerve function.
Spinal Decompression: To relieve pressure on nerves, especially for patients with nerve impingement contributing to their neuropathy symptoms.
These therapies work together to restore the function and health of the nerves, allowing patients to regain sensation and reduce pain.
3. Body (Metabolic System): Addressing the Root Causes
Neuropathy is often linked to metabolic imbalances in the body. Dr. Huffman’s functional medicine background allows him to identify and address these underlying issues, with a focus on the three main drivers of neuropathy:
Diabetes: Controlling blood sugar levels is essential for diabetic patients. The program includes dietary guidance, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle recommendations to help manage blood glucose, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce the risk of further nerve damage.
Autoimmune Disease: For patients with autoimmune-related neuropathy, the program involves identifying triggers that may be activating the immune system, such as food sensitivities or chronic infections. Dr. Huffman works to reduce inflammation by stabilizing immune function through dietary changes, gut health optimization, and detoxification support.
Vascular Disease: Proper blood flow is crucial for nerve health. By improving circulation, the Brain-Body RESET Program helps ensure that nerves receive the oxygen and nutrients they need. Treatments may include therapies to enhance vascular health, lifestyle changes, and supplementation to support blood vessel function.
A Comprehensive, Personalized Approach Every patient’s neuropathy is unique, and so is their treatment plan. Dr. Huffman’s Brain-Body RESET Program is tailored to the individual, combining therapies and approaches that best suit the specific causes of their condition. Whether the primary driver is diabetes, an autoimmune disorder, or vascular disease, the program aims to address these underlying factors to improve nerve function, reduce symptoms, and help patients regain their quality of life.
Success Stories & Patient Outcomes Patients who have undergone the Brain-Body RESET Program have reported significant improvements in their symptoms. Many have seen a reduction in pain, numbness, and tingling, while others have regained strength, coordination and restored balance. By focusing on the root causes of neuropathy and supporting the body’s natural healing processes, Dr. Huffman has helped patients find relief even after years of suffering.
