Diabetic nerve pain of the feet is also known as painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It occurs if the nerves are damaged as a result of diabetes. There are many diabetics who just have numbness or tingling in their feet. This numbness can get worse and cause burning and shooting pain in both feet, and it can also cause patients to have difficulty sleeping. There is no cure for the diabetic neuropathy. There are numerous treatments ,including oral medications, and topical pain relief creams, which only help with the symptoms of the severe pain. There is a new, in-office, thirty-minute treatment which can help quiet the nerves and can be performed by your podiatrist. This topical treatment is called Qutenza. Qutenza are impregnated sheets with 8% Capsaicin. This medication is similar to pepper spray but at a much higher concentration. These specialized sheets are applied to your feet once every three months for thirty minutes each visit. Some patients will feel improvement after just one treatment. Many patients can get complete relief of pain with this new cutting-edge treatment. This treatment is for diabetics with severe burning and shooting, and most insurances and Medicare will cover this 100%. Prior authorizations will be performed. DR. HOWARD J.
