How Dr. Lazarus Treats Diabetic Neuropathy
Dr. Lazarus focuses on identifying the root cause and matching treatment to the condition, not forcing every patient into the same routine.

The neoGEN device delivers electric cell signaling energy to support nerve communication, circulation, pain modulation, and nerve-function goals.
Non-drug nerve support for selected diabetic neuropathy patients
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy may be discussed in selected neuropathy plans to support local circulation, soft-tissue recovery, and pain modulation.

Diabetic Neuropathy Questions Answered
Yes. Dr. Lazarus uses non-drug options such as Class IV laser therapy, neoGEN electric cell signaling, radial shockwave therapy when appropriate, and regenerative treatment planning to support nerve function, circulation, and symptom control.
Class IV laser therapy may support microcirculation to irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular repair. For diabetic patients, circulation support is especially important because diabetes can compromise blood supply to peripheral nerves.
