Neuropathy?

 We are using an exciting new technology called the Anodyne^Ò Infrared Therapy System with our patients.  This infrared therapy assists in reduction or elimination of pain and faster healing of all types of wounds, injuries and surgeries.  In addition, excellent clinical outcomes have been demonstrated with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) including restoration of sensation.  The Anodyne^Ò Therapy System has been cleared by the FDA for reduction of pain and increasing local circulation and recently received a specific Medicare Durable Medical Equipment HCPCS Code (EO221).

The Anodyne^Ò Therapy System uses monochromatic infrared energy (MIRE) to increase local circulation and reduce pain by disassociating nitric oxide (NO) from hemoglobin.  Nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator.   The localized release of NO improves nerve function and is also an important signaling molecule for the angiogenesis and collagen formation necessary for wound healing. Low levels of nitric oxide and poor nitric oxide metabolism are common in patients with diabetes and are recognized to be major contributing factors in the poor microcirculation, loss of protective sensation, foot ulceration and pain of DPN.

The outcomes that we have been achieving in our facility include:

·         Faster healing and prevention of pressure ulcers

·         Improved wound healing in chronic non-healing wounds and potential to prevent amputations

·         Faster healing of soft tissue injuries and surgeries

·         Better pain management and reduction in pain medications

·         Improved contracture management

·         Restoration of protective sensation in diabetic peripheral neuropathy

·         Improved gait and balance with potential to reduce falls due to DPN and arthritis pain

Anodyne^Ò is non-invasive, drug-free and safe.  This therapy has been used on thousands of patients for more than 7 years with consistent success in treating non-healing wounds, pain and loss of sensation in diabetic neuropathy. There are no known adverse events or drug interactions when used in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.  The only contraindications are pregnancy and active malignancies.
