PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY WARNING!
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.

Southern Brooklyn zip codes see
high infection rate, low vaccinations
GOING UP: Southern Brooklyn’s 11234 and 11233 zip codes currently record some of the
city’s highest infection rates. New York City Department of Health

Two southern Brooklyn zip codes
with vaccination rates below 50 percent
are seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases.
City testing data shows the 11224 zip
code — comprising Brighton Beach,
Coney Island, and Seagate — has a 39
percent of residents fully vaccinated,
boasts a seven-day COVID-19 infection
rate of 5.48 percent, which represents
the second-highest rate in the city, behind
only Annadale in Staten Island.
The 11234 zip code — covering Bergen
Beach, Flatlands, Marine Park,
and Mill Basin — is not far behind with
41 percent of residents fully vaccinated,
and a 4.55 percent infection rate.
Both those zip codes, however, rank
slightly above the bottom in terms of
fully inoculated residents, as the 11691
area of Edgemere and Far Rockaway in
Queens is the lowest with only 36 of its
residents having a completed vaccine
cycle.
In Brooklyn, the zip code with the
lowest vaccination rate is 11233 — covering
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Ocean Hill,
and Brownsville — at 36 percent.
Other areas of Kings County with
low vaccination rates include Flatlands
and Midwood’s 11210 zip code, Canarsie’s
11236, and Borough Park’s 11219 —
all of which hover slightly above 36 percent
of residents fully inoculated.
The numbers come as the Delta variant
of COVID-19 has swept through the
city, causing the seven-day average infection
rate to spike from 1.18 to 2.55
percent over the last three weeks, according
to city data.
Though that has worried health offi
cials, Mayor Bill de Blasio has upheld
his previous announcement that the
mask mandate will not return to the
Big Apple despite the rising infection
rates.
City Councilman Mark Treyger,
whose district includes Gravesend, Coney
Island and Sea Gate, said the Mayor’s
Offi ce and city Health Department
are to blame for the low vaccination
rates in his diverse language-speaking
district — arguing city offi cials have
not conducted enough outreach in the
community, especially in other languages,
to encourage his constituents
to get the vaccine and dispel any inaccurate
information about the vaccine.
“Tens of thousands of my constituents
speak another language at home,
and don’t rely on English-language
media to get information,” Treyger
said in a statement to Brooklyn Paper.
“The Mayor’s offi ce and the Health Department
must do more to get the right
information out there, to tackle any
false claims about the vaccine, and encourage
folks to get tested and get vaccinated,
including partnering with
trusted community leaders like primary
care providers.”
He added that the city must work
much harder to inform all city dwellers
of the importance of inoculation and to
not close sites too early so getting the
lifesaving jab is still an option for those
who need it.
As the Delta variant continues to
spread, it is vital that we aggressively
and continuously communicate that
vaccines save lives and prevent hospitalization
and that we keep sites open
for people to easily access the vaccine,”
Treyger said.

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
3) Decrease your brain-based pain
The treatment to increase blood 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!
