Sarasota Sports Medicine to Bring Relief to Those Suffering From Debilitating Neuropathy Pain Contact Name: Dr. Ken Kaufman Contact Email: drken@sarasotasportsmed.com Contact Phone Number: 941-927-0546 Sarasota, Fl. – Over 42 million Americans suffer from neuropathy, a debilitating condition that causes sharb, throbbing, and burning pain with muscle weakness or paralysis. Most often, neuropathy is caused by diabetes but can also be caused by chemotherapy medications, alcoholism and trauma. Traditional treatments often include over-the-counter pain medications for mild symptoms and Opioid medications like tramadol or oxycodone in severe cases. Unfortunately, it is well known that opioids often lead to dependence and addiction. Studies have shown the use of class 4 laser therapy to be highly effective in the treatment of neuropathy. Relieving both pain, as well as weakness and dysfunction, class 4 laser therapy simultaneously reduces inflammation, reduces pain and accelerates tissue healing. It is a non-invasive and painless treatment approach provided in office and takes less than 20 minutes. “I learned of the benefits of class 4 laser therapy working in the Baltimore Orioles training room,” said Dr. Ken Kaufman, founder and clinic director of Sarasota Sports Medicine. “I’ve treated patients of all ages and abilities, from high level professional athletes to the average weekend warrior,” he added. “We’re excited to provide this powerful treatment option to the thousands of individuals in the Sarasota area that are suffering from this debilitating condition.” Dr. Kaufman stated. “I’ve seen the awesome results and the ability of patients to not only get relief from the pain, but to literally regain their lives.” To introduce this powerful treatment option, Sarasota Sports Medicine will be hosting a Free Neuropathy Workshop at their Cattlemen Road office on April 6 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Presented by Dr. Kaufman, attendees will discover how class 4 laser therapy can be one of the best painless and non-invasive modalities that can help individuals heal and recover from the pain, burning, numbness, and weakness that often accompanies neuropathy.
