At Trinity Foot Center in Dallas, Dr. Lisa Brandy is dedicated to helping you find the relief you need. We offer practical, tailored solutions that can help your feet stay healthy.
We Are Here to Do More Than Just Treat Symptoms
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common type of neuropathy, impacting the nerves in your hands, feet, legs, and arms. It often begins in the feet and usually affects both feet simultaneously.
At Trinity Foot Center, our approach to peripheral neuropathy goes beyond addressing your symptoms. We see you as a whole person and aim to provide comprehensive care centered around the following:
- Slowing nerve damage progression. We work to slow down nerve damage to help preserve your current level of function.
- Effective pain relief. We aim to alleviate your pain with tailored treatments that fit your specific needs.
- Complication prevention and management. We focus on preventing complications and managing any issues that arise.
- Restoring function. Our goal is to help you regain the functions you've lost due to neuropathy.
We can collaborate with your primary care doctor or diabetic specialist to ensure your diabetes is well-managed, which is vital in protecting your nerves from further harm.
Personalized Neuropathy Treatments Just for You
If you're tired of dealing with foot pain, tingling, or numbness, Trinity Foot Center offers personalized neuropathy treatments designed to relieve pain and help you feel your best.
- Neurogenx therapy. This FDA-cleared treatment has brought significant relief to many of our patients. By combining electronic signals with local anesthetics, Neurogenx therapy can help alleviate pain, improve sensation, and promote nerve healing. It offers a comprehensive approach to managing your neuropathy symptoms.
- Supplements and medications. Supplements containing L-methyl folate, calcium, and alpha lipoic acid can support nerve health and address deficiencies that often contribute to neuropathy. For those who need additional relief, prescription medications like Gabapentin or Lyrica may help control pain and improve quality of life.
- MLS laser therapy. Our advanced MLS laser therapy targets nerve pain at its source, using light energy to reduce inflammation, enhance blood flow, and accelerate healing. It’s a painless and non-invasive treatment that can offer substantial relief from neuropathy symptoms.
- Physical therapy. Dr. Brandy may recommend exercises to improve your balance, strength, and mobility. By building resilience and enhancing functionality, these exercises help make daily activities easier and reduce the impact of neuropathy on your life.
