Why Traditional Medicine Often Falls Short for Chronic Conditions... Like in the case of Peripheral Neuropathy
If you’ve been struggling with chronic health issues—like neuropathy—you’re not alone.
And if you feel frustrated with the lack of real progress from traditional treatments… you’re not wrong to feel that way either.
Here’s why:
Most standard medical treatments are designed to manage symptoms, not heal the root cause.
For example, in neuropathy, the “standard of care” usually addresses the symptoms of nerve pain, burning, and numbness with medications. But those medications don’t fix the underlying problem—which in this case, is often reduced circulation to the nerves that continue to drive nerve damage.
When it comes to health insurance, they typically only 'cover' what is considered 'standard of care.'
That means insurance often covers treatments that help you cope with symptoms, but not therapies designed to actually restore health and function.
We see this every day: people who are prescribed medications for years to try and manage symptoms, but never given a plan to help their body heal as it medically is outside of the 'standard of care.'
At Apex, our focus is on identifying and improving the root cause of your condition—working to actually restore health rather than just try and manage symptoms.
If you’re tired of living with the same symptoms year after year, and you’re ready to explore restorative options that go beyond what insurance covers, we’d love to help.
Call us today or send us a message to schedule a consultation and learn how we can help you take the first step toward real healing.
