The TM-Flow Machine and How It Is Used to Detect/Confirm Neuropathy
Neuropathy can cause uncomfortable symptoms like weakness, pain, and numbness - and it can signify the presence of harmful diseases or disorders. The sooner you identify neuropathy, the sooner you can receive the treatment you need. At Hancock Healthcare Group in Cape Coral, Florida, we utilize the TM-Flow machine to accurately diagnose neuropathy.
What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a condition characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves (the nerves outside of your spine and brain). It can cause weakness, numbness, tingling, and even pain. Neuropathy can be a result of diabetes, infection, injury, and metabolic syndrome, among other disorders. The symptoms can also be a result of artery disease.
What is the TM-Flow machine?
The TM-Flow machine is an advanced medical device that is used to test the function of your nerves and arteries. The TM-Flow testing procedure is completely painless and non-invasive. It is used to detect and/or confirm neuropathy in medical patients, as well as distinguish the condition from artery disease. The two disorders can have similar symptoms, but the treatments are quite different. This makes it essential for our physicians to accurately diagnose your condition.
Should I use the TM-Flow machine?
Patients should be tested for neuropathy and vascular dysfunction with the TM-Flow machine if they are over the age of 50 and have cardiovascular risk factors like tobacco use, obesity, and high blood pressure, while everyone over the age of 70 should be tested regardless of risk factors. You may also benefit from a TM-Flow test if you are experiencing the symptoms of neuropathy or artery disease, such as fatigue, headache, dizziness, an intolerance to exercise, fainting, or painful muscle cramping in the legs or hips. If you are unsure of your candidacy for a TM-Flow test, our healthcare professionals at Hancock Healthcare Group can assist you in choosing the ideal course of action.
