An Attractive New Zealand View Of Neuropathic Pain

We're always looking for eye-catching material that helps explain neuropathy better to the reader and today's post from 2will.co.nz (see link below) does exactly that. It is an advertisement for a physio and pain-management clinic (which this blog doesn't normally do) but the information is attractive to all neuropathy patients Take a read - it certainly makes a change from dry as dust PDFs which will turn off the casual reader after the first paragraph. This blog could learn some presentation lessons from this. Worth a look.
