Q: 

what is the best way to screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy?

A: We were unable to find clinical guidance on either specific screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy or annual diabetic patient review for circulation and neurology. However, using TRIP and Medline, we found two clinical guidelines for diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy (DN) which may be helpful. We also found a protocol for diabetic foot assessment which may be of interest, and some additional sources of information.   the first clinical guideline is from the International Diabetes Federation “Global Guideline for Type 2 Diabetes” (1) published in 2005. the guideline has a specific chapter on nerve...

Q: 

Fibroadenomata and surgery

A: Let me deal with the most important question.  Will a biopsy open Pandora"s box?  the answer is no.  Multiple longitudinal studies have shown that biopsy does not make cancer spread like wildfire or somehow "take-off," making matters worse.  This is actually an old wives tales that likens cancers to dandelion blossoms that spread in the wind creating more weeds once disturbed.  Breast cancer is not a weed.   there are many breast researchers who believe and with justification, that breast cancer is a systemic disease at the onset.  This is why

Q: 

MVA chronic pain - dizziness

A: Dear Kristin, Please print this out to read.  It is a bit lengthy and in some places technical.  By the way, you are not crazy, and your complaints are normal. You have unfortunately been given the runaround by a physician who does not know what he is talking about.

A: Dear Amy, Well, this is normal..unfortunately...the medical professionals you have been treated by have completely missed the boat on this, and you should have been going to a chiropractic physician for the entire time...not a physical therapist, and drugs/TENS will not fix anything...they have no therapeutic value, only palliative values.  I see this all the time, and often get patients in my office after they have been to all the other medical pr

Q: 

lumbar back pain and CAT scan results

A: Dear Joseph, Print this out, it is lengthy!!  Now, I get so sick of hearing people tell me that their medical doctor doesn"t think that disk bulges can cause pain...this is a ridiculous assumption...even if the disk bulges are "mild".  Not to mention that your x-rays were "negative" tells me nothing...negative for what?  Did your medical doctor actually give you a diagnosis other than back pain? Did they discuss nerve supply, referred pain or muscular stabilization?  Lastly, a CT scan is not the best imaging to evaluate the disk an MRI is, and...
