It may help a little by soothing nerve pains and getting rid of some swelling, but it is not really a great long term management for the condition. Neuropathy is a tough thing to treat. Medications, laser therapy and surgery are options, but they do not work on everyone.
Yes
It depends on the cause of neuropathy. For many of the causes of neuropathy, yes it will help a lot as well as compression stockings. If it is from reasons, such as a nerve impingement in your spine, then no. It will not help.
Simple massage will not help for sure. However, massage given ALONG with the some vitamins injections does have a positive effect on neuropathic patients.
Not really, to be honest. Most of my patients do really well with a topical medication that I prescribe that is specific for this. Most patients are able to sleep better at night with this cream and do not need to take oral medications. This cream is covered by most insurances, too!
No only if you use zostric hp cream
No
Not very much. Sometimes contrast soaking in warm not hot water then cool not cold water helps.
