Loma Linda University Health’s new Neuropathic Therapy Center will host an open house at the Tom and Vi Zapara Rehabilitation Pavilion (adjacent to LLU Medical Center East Campus), on Tuesday, May 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tours of the new center will be available.
Remarks will take place at 12:30 p.m.
The Neuropathic Therapy Center is home to an innovative, drug-free, surgery-free treatment program for people suffering from peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) caused by chemotherapy, diabetes or other causes.
Debilitating symptoms of the condition include weakness, pain and numbness, typically in the feet or hands.
Clinic director Mark Bussell, DPT, and his team will utilize a treatment he created called intraneural facilitation™. This evidence-based therapy utilizes physical-therapy-based holds to stretch nerve areas and deliver blood supply to damaged nerves. Many people report improvement after the first treatment.
“To have the opportunity to work at Loma Linda University Health and work with the patients here has been a real blessing,” Bussell said. “It has been an exciting journey. I can’t wait to share Loma Linda’s mission with more patients who will benefit from what intraneural facilitation has provided for many hundreds of patients.”
Patient Frank Garcia credits Bussell with turning his life around.
“Being in a wheelchair for two years, I had little hope of any recovery,” Garcia said. “After working with Mark and his team, the word hope has a new meaning for me! The Lord has truly blessed me.” See more testimonials.
Loma Linda University Health is the only place where this type of treatment is available.
The center is located at 25333 Barton Rd. in Loma Linda. Much more information about the Neuropathic Therapy Center is available on its website or by calling 909-825-8601.
