How Regular Routines Will Help With Neuropathy

Today's short but useful post from dressamed.com (see link below) comes via other sites, from Dr. John Hayes Jr, whose work on neuropathy is always directed towards the patient and easy to understand. It talks about the importance of sticking to 'good habits and schedules' in your daily life, or at least as much as possible. People who have good routines regarding eating, exercise and treatment often do much better when it comes to neuropathy, if only because the nervous system can better deal with problems if the patient's daily life has some sort of regularity or order to it. An interesting post that makes you examine your own life to see if there's room for improvement.

Habits and Routines: Powerful Neuropathy Treatment Weapons 
Posted on May 11, 2016 Posted in Staff Pick by Staff Pick

Effective neuropathy treatment plans are easier to implement with patients who are able to keep good habits and schedules.

It is a well-known fact that our daily habits contribute more to our long-term well being than any other single activity.

What does your daily routine consist of? Are you naturally active, or does it become a challenge for you to motivate yourself? Do you make extra effort to walk more when you park your car to go shopping, for example? How about when performing household or yard tasks?

Our daily habits that affect ourselves includes things like aerobic exercise, drinking soda, tobacco usage, excessive over the counter drug usage, et cetera.

It also includes our mental activity; we have the choice to regularly have active mental stimulation such as reading and meditation, versus passive activities such as long periods of watching television.

Unfortunately, most of us never take a hard look at our daily activities, and the impact they’re having upon our health.

Now, when you’re young, these are relatively easy to ignore. But throw in advancing age, and some health challenges, and it becomes a different ballgame!

With chronic pain and neuropathy, sticking to good daily health habits becomes a much more difficult task.

But, what I can tell you after taking care of hundreds of patients is that those who have routines and habits fair far better! Both in terms of physical capacity to enjoy life, and their mental outlook!

One of the reasons for this is more effective neuropathy treatment plans are easier to implement with patients who have good habits and schedules.

You can start right now by developing then sticking to a daily routine of your own design! Scheduling and timing of daily things such as meals, light activity, supplements, and even your own self-care goes along way.

One of the reasons this is true is your body has its own biorhythms.

Timing of certain supplements, and even self-treatment throughout the day can make a BIG difference in your outcome!

And these are all things your neuropathy treatment specialist is able to assist you with.

Just make sure you engage us and ask for guidance with regard to the most effective neuropathy and chronic pain treatments and activities.

But most importantly ask and learn about the best scheduling, and timing.

Make a DAILY schedule for yourself, and then stick to it! You’ll be very glad you did!
