CLINICAL TIP – CHEMO INDUCED NEUROPATHY
Sadly, this is becoming a more frequent occurrence. Symptoms can range from numbness to more painful manifestations of Peripheral Neuropathy (hot, burning sensations including at rest). There is clinical evidence that low level light therapy (laser) can assist some cases.
We also recommend massaging Magnesium Chloride cream into the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks. Monitor results by keeping a symptoms diary. We stock and recommend Bioceuticals 'Ultra Muscleze Cream', $21.95 in clinic now.
