Clinic’s Revolutionary Move To Ease The Pain For Diabetics

A revolutionary new treatment to ease pain among diabetes sufferers will be introduced at a clinic on the outskirts of Glasgow. Within the next few weeks doctors at the Essential Health Clinic in Rutherglen will offer anodyne therapy’ for patients who suffer from the painful condition Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.

DPN affects up to half of the two million people with diabetes. Its symptoms include tingling, burning, itchiness, and crawling sensations in the feet. The £50 treatment uses near-infrared light to safely increase circulation and reduce pain.

Dr Tom Gilhooly, one of the chief practitioners at the Essential Health Clinic, said: “Patients with numbness or pain in their feet or legs, combined with difficulty with gait or balance abnormalities, should find that anodyne therapy increases local circulation, improves sensation and nerve function, reduces pain and heals chronic diabetic ulcers.”
