Our Treatment Approach
1. Comprehensive Evaluation

Foot care instructions to avoid injuries
3. Blood Sugar Optimization
Maintaining stable glucose levels helps slow the progression of neuropathy.
4. Foot Care & Injury Prevention

Education on early warning signs
-
Preventing ulcers or infections due to loss of sensation
5. Physical Therapy Support
To improve strength, mobility, and balance, especially in advanced cases.
Why Treatment Matters
Ignoring neuropathy can lead to ulcers, infections, and serious complications. With early intervention, symptoms can be reduced and nerve damage progression can be slowed.
