Dr. Jacoby:
I can bring in the technical ability that I really didn’t have before. There’s special instruments that we use for measuring nerve loss. We have gate analysis. We have specialized instruments. We have nutritional support. We have lots of things that encompass this disease process.
I use lots of neurologists in our institute to help me with these diagnoses because all neuropathy is not compression, and all the patients that we see really don’t have a surgical solution. I don’t want anybody to think that every patient who has diabetes has a compression neuropathy and everybody who has a compression needs surgery. That’s not the case.
We have other modalities that we use, and we will have newer ones in the future. There are new medications. There are new modalities and non-surgical things that we can do.
