Do you suffer from diabetic neuropathy? If so, you're not alone as this painful condition impacts 5.8 to 7.6 million Americans. This type of chronic pain can significantly compromise your quality of life, affecting both your health as well as your mental wellbeing.

Diabetic neuropathy is listed as one of the most common complications associated with diabetes. Pain is a common indication of diabetic neuropathy. Health practitioners have suggested spinal cord stimulation as the treatment option for patients suffering from painful neurotic neuropathy.

Sixty-five million Americans report recently experiencing back pain. If you're among them, you're well aware of the debilitating effects this chronic issue can have on your ability to work, sleep, or enjoy day-to-day life. Linked to causing "psychological distress," it's no wonder that millions turn to their doctors, all searching for the same thing: relief.

Unfortunately, those of us with chronic pain have faced the same failing options repeatedly. We are told to take a pill, go to physical therapy, and then rest. You cannot live your best life that way.
