BY BROOKLYN PAPER
Brooklyn Democratic Party Boss
Rodneyse Bichotte married her longtime
partner, Edu Hermelyn, at an intimate
ceremony on New Years Day
— a day which also marks Haitian Independence
Day, said Bichotte.
“We wanted to bring in our union
on this day as it signifi es the strength
of the slave abolitionist winning
against the French making Haiti the
fi rst Black independent country,” she
said. “It symbolizes the fl ag that shows
that with unity there is strength.”
The couple both hold elected offi
ce in Brooklyn, with Bichotte serving
as Democratic county leader and
an assemblywoman in Flatbush,
while Hermelyn serves as Democratic
district leader representing Crown
Heights and Prospect Lefferts Gardens
in the 43rd Assembly District.
Brooklyn, NY — The most common method
your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy
is with prescription drugs that may temporarily
reduce your symptoms. These drugs have names
such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and
Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or
anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to
feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful
side effects.
Peripheral Nerves
Figure 1: Notice the very small blood vessels
surrounding each nerve.
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage
to the nerves!
Often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling,
and the most debilitating balance problems.
This damage is commonly caused by a lack of
blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet
which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate
due to lack of nutrient flow.
As you can see in Figure 2, as the blood vessels
that surround nerves begin to “die” they cause
you to have balance problems, pain, numbness,
tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.

shrivel up and

The main
problem
is that your doctor has told you to just live
with the problem or try the drugs which you
don’t like taking because they make you feel
uncomfortable. Our facility right here in Brooklyn,
NY offers you hope without taking those endless
drugs with serious side effects. (see the special
neuropathy severity examination at the end of
this article).
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy
three factors must be determined.
1) What is the underlying cause?
2) How Much Nerve Damage
3) How much treatment will your condition
require?
The treatment that is provided at AllCare
Neurocorrective Wellness has three main
goals:
1) Increase your blood flow
2) Stimulate your small fiber nerves
3) Decrease your brain-based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes
a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be
confused with laser therapy) using light emitting
diode technology. This technology was originally
developed by NASA to assist in increasing blood
flow.
The low level light
therapy is like watering
a plant. The
light therapy will
allow the blood
vessels to grow
back around the
peripheral nerves
and provide them
with the proper
nutrients to heal
and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant an seeing
the roots grow deeper and deeper.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the
nerves to fully recover varies from person to
person and can only be determined after a
detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As
long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve
damage there is hope!
Dr. Ofir Isaac, DPT at AllCare Neurocorrective
Wellness Center will do a neuropathy
severity examination to determine the extent of
the nerve damage for only $70. This neuropathy
severity examination will consist of a detailed
sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular
testing, and a detailed analysis of the findings of
your neuropathy.
Dr. Isaac will be offering this neuropathy severity
examination from now until January 1,
2021. Then the prices will go up significantly.
Call 347-274-8523 to make an
appointment with Dr. Isaac to
determine if your peripheral
neuropathy can be treated.
Now, most major health insurances are accepted
including medicare which covers the majority of
your treatment.
