Neuropathy State of the Art Anodyne Treatment

Anodyne is a non-invasive medical device that emits infrared light in order to improve blood circulation and decrease muscle spasms.

Our therapists often use anodyne therapy for patients with microvascular impairments caused by diabetes, vascular disease, or alcoholism, which can impair circulation, produce peripheral pain, increase fall risk, and cause poor wound healing.

As a drug-free treatment, anodyne triggers the release of nitric oxide, causing vasodilation, reduction in inflammation, and angiogenesis. Once patients respond to an initial clinical treatment program, we can help them easily transition into a home treatment plan.

FDA-approved and trusted by over 20,000 doctors and therapists worldwide, anodyne may be able to help if you’re struggling with:

  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Muscle spasms
  • Chronic pain
  • Vascular disease

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.
