There is a real important message here about reading into the future a bit, positioning your businesses strategically and being ready for it by taking MASSIVE action. The world of private practice is changing very fast now, as is the specialty of helping peripheral neuropathy and chronic pain patients. You see, so many more people [...]
Some of your patients may complain of pain and tingling when it comes to neuropathy, but it often takes far too long for a patient to admit they are having trouble doing simple tasks like walking. It’s frustrating to find oneself not able to do things that used to be simple, and a lot of [...]
It’s hard to believe its already five years since NeuropathyDR® developed some of the most powerful protocols to help end the misery of chronic pain due to peripheral neuropathy and related disorders. Just as we predicted in 2009, those professionals claiming to be able to treat neuropathy have sprung up like weeds.
Some have done a fine job. Others have gotten themselves in hot water. Some have blatantly stolen our work.
And more still have discovered there is a true art and clinical science to really helping these suffering patients regain their quality of life, if not their once vibrant health and the value of being affiliated with only like-minded health care professionals.
The best line of defense we have where patients are concerned is communication. It’s imperative that patients report any unusual sensations, pain, or numbness to you and their oncologist. Like any neuropathy, the sooner we identify a problem, the more options we will have when it comes to treatment. In some cases of complications, it can be prudent to delay or suspend chemotherapy treatments in order to give a patient’s nerves an opportunity to recover.

One of the biggest issues I observed when consulting this past week was practice owners ignoring “The Most Dangerous Number” – ONE! One way to help a condition… One way to manage a team… One way for patients to pay… And the most dangerous to professional longevity? Having just ONE way to market, or [...]

One of the biggest clinical lessons that has come from our work with peripheral neuropathy patients is just how powerful “Patient Co-Treatment Plans” can be. Traditionally, we might think of patient components of recovery from illness as a relatively passive home care program such as “just take these twice a day” or “do these exercises”. [...]
