Neuro Impulse Therapy
Electrical stimulation used to ease burning, tingling and nerve discomfort in diabetic feet.
Key Takeaways
- The therapy targets nerve pain and discomfort, not wound healing.
- It suits patients whose burning or tingling persists despite medication.
- Sessions are painless, and most patients describe a light tapping sensation.
- Results vary between patients, so response is reviewed rather than promised.
What Is Neuro Impulse Therapy?
Controlled electrical pulses are delivered through pads placed on the foot and leg. The stimulation is thought to interrupt pain signals travelling to the brain and to encourage local circulation. Patients typically feel a mild tingling or tapping during the session.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Burning feet that disturb sleep
- Persistent tingling or shooting pains
- Patients who cannot tolerate higher doses of nerve pain medication
- Those wanting to reduce reliance on tablets
Conversely, it is not appropriate for patients with a pacemaker, active foot infection or an open wound at the pad site, so suitability is confirmed at assessment.
What Results Are Realistic?
Some patients report clear improvement in burning and sleep quality, others notice little change. Honestly setting that expectation matters, because nerve pain responds differently in each person. We review after a set number of sessions and stop if there is no genuine benefit.
Alongside therapy, we always check the correctable causes of nerve symptoms, including sugar control and vitamin B12 status, through our neuropathy assessment.
How Long Does Each Session Take?
Around twenty to thirty minutes, with no recovery time afterwards. Courses are usually spread over several weeks so response can be judged properly.
What Does It Cost and What Results Are Realistic?
Sessions are individually priced with package rates for a course. The full plan and total are set out before you start.
Results genuinely vary. Some patients report noticeably less burning and better sleep within a few weeks, while others feel little difference. We assess honestly at review, because paying for sessions that are not working helps nobody.
