Episode #109: Peripheral Neuropathy Relief Using Peptides & Other Therapies
2022-08-09
My guest this week is Dr. Stephen L Barrett, CEO, US Neuropathy Centers.
In this episode, Dr. Barrett and I discuss neuropathy- what is peripheral neuropathy, who it affects, why you need an accurate diagnosis, what are the common symptoms, why phantom pain phenomenon occurs, and most importantly, how a comprehensive care approach with novel treatments can alleviate pain and improve peripheral neuropathy. As a podiatrist and surgeon, Dr. Barrett shares his expertise in lower body and heel pain (plantar fasciitis) treatment, why diabetes has a strong connection to neuropathy, along with how to help patient compliance. We talk about peptides, PRP, stem cells, and much more utilized at his neuropathy center.
