At Iowa Wellness Center, we specialize in helping people find relief from neuropathy. This chronic condition is linked to disorders of the nervous system. Many patients come to us looking for relief from the following symptoms:
- Extreme tingling sensations
- Burning pain in the lower limbs
- Sharp, stabbing pains
It’s difficult to answer the question of “what causes neuropathy?” Diabetes, injury, infection, illness, and nutritional deficiencies are a few common culprits, but definitely not all.
To understand your pain and the best treatment plan for you, we rely on neuromapping in North Liberty. But what is neuromapping, and how does it work? That’s something we can answer, and we’re sharing our knowledge and expertise in this article.
What Is Neuromapping?
Neuromapping, also known as brain mapping, refers to the study of the anatomy and function of your brain and spinal cord using imaging technologies. At Iowa Wellness Center, we use this practice to identify different brainwaves and how they perform in the 3 regions of the brain.
When your brain cells (neurons) communicate, they produce brainwaves, which are electrical patterns of different frequencies. Brain mapping allows us to compare your brain activity to “normal” patterns and create a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your neuropathy symptoms.
How Does Brain Mapping Help With Neuropathy?
Neuropathy results from damage to your peripheral nervous system, which forms a two-way relationship of information between your brain and the rest of your body. When this gets damaged, it can disrupt how your body interprets sensory information like touch, temperature, and pain.
Brain mapping allows us to pinpoint the areas where pain activity is present in your brain. From there, we can rely on neurofeedback as a neuropathy treatment to realign brainwaves to regulate and reduce that activity.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback uses auditory and visual signals in a rewards-based system to help retrain your brain. You can alleviate neurological disorders through positive and negative feedback, teaching you to identify and adjust your thought patterns.
Pinpoint Your Pain and Reduce Symptoms
The brain controls your senses, motor skills, thoughts, and everything that makes you, you. When you struggle with neuropathy, this can make you feel less like yourself, and identify more as your condition. Neuromapping in North Liberty is the first step to helping you find relief and feel like yourself again. To get started, try our treatment planning tool.
