Anodyne Helps CPT Patient Regain Active Lifestyle

Linda had been suffering from non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy for five years.  Because she was not diabetic, two neurologists, a rhumatologist and one podiatrist were baffled by the cause of her pain and numbness.

     After five years of medication and a nerve release surgery in her right foot, Linda continued her quest for relief, and was eventually diagnosed.  She was soon scheduled for anodyne treatments. 

     Linda stated she was “cautiously optimistic” about the light therapy, but within 2-3 weeks began to notice a difference.  “I’m happy,” she said.  “I can sleep through the night and relax.  I haven’t been able to do either for a long time.”

     “I’m taken aback by the simplicity of the procedure having been on a series of medications to relieve the pain.  Now, I’m looking to be able to get off the medication completely and regain my once active lifestyle.”
