The pain in my legs was so bad, I was always worried that I couldn’t hold my weight and my knees would buckle. After the Neurogenx treatments, all the pain is gone and I have not had to take any pain medication for pain in over 3 weeks.

What Patients Say

Before I came to Neurogenx my feet were swollen so bad and I was in lots of pain. I had been suffering with Neuropathy since the
