Neuropathy@CoreHealth Hope for Chronic Pain due to Peripheral Neuropathy Transcutaneous Pulsed Radio frequency therapy

Darien, CT A new way to help alleviate Neuropathic Pain is using Transcutaneous Pulsed Radio frequency therapy. This treatment helps quiet pain signals coming from the brain in several ways. Lets use tPRF to describe the therapy.Chronic pain bombards the brain, like a phone left off the hook-the pain signals are trying to get the brain's attention. The electromagnetic field created by tPRF quiets the oversensitized nerves. When this happens, it is called allodynia. This presents as extreme pain being felt where it should not. The damaged nerves can deplete neurotransmitters that facilitate normal nerve firing. GABA acts like a brake on the nervous system to prevent overfiring of damaged nerves.Norepinephrine binds to receptors to block the release of pain chemicals from peripheral nerves.Serotonin is another inhibiting neurotransmitter that inhibits the transmission of pain signals. However, In chronic states, its role can become complex, sometimes facilitating pain if the system is "exhausted".How your brain stops pain. The body has a built-in "volume knob" for pain called the **Descending Inhibitory Pain Pathway**. When the brain decides to suppress pain, it sends efferent signals from the **Periaqueductal Gray (PAG)** in the midbrain down to the **Rostral Ventromedial Medulla (RVM)** and finally back into the spinal cord.This pathway works like a gatekeeper. If the "gate" in the spinal cord is closed by these descending signals, the pain message from your nerves never reaches your conscious brain.Transcutaneous Pulsed Radio frequency can help people with chronic debilitating nerve pain by changing the brain's ability to suppress pain signals. This can dramatically improve the life of a person suffering from neuropathy. If you have questions please reach out to me Dr.Brian McKay at 203-656-3636Have a Question?
