See how this Houston clinic is helping patients harness their body's healing power and find relief from pain

HOUSTON – Living with chronic pain can significantly diminish one’s quality of life. From nerve damage to joint deterioration, pain often becomes a constant companion, making daily activities challenging. At NexGenEsis Healthcare, they are offering new hope for their patients in Houston who are suffering from conditions such as neuropathy and osteoarthritis.

Dr. Joe Fuhrman and Dr. Abhishek Reddy explain that their patients benefit from groundbreaking treatments to harness the body’s intrinsic ability to heal itself.

For NexGenEsis patient David Espinosa, using these therapies has reduced pain caused by neuropathy from an eight to one on the pain scale.

For Espinosa, a cancer survivor, the road to recovery was fraught with challenges. After undergoing chemotherapy, he experienced near-debilitating neuropathy, prompting a series of consultations with various specialists. Frustrated by the lack of solutions, Espinosa found NexGenEsis after hearing about it from his sister, who was watching “Houston Life.” After a thorough evaluation by Dr. Furman, David was deemed a suitable candidate for their innovative treatments.

Espinosa explained that his pain felt like “pins and needles, the burning, the itching. I couldn’t sleep.” Espinosa is already finding relief after only three or four months of treatment. “I was afraid to walk, you know, because my feet were hurting. My balance was way off, and all that is gone now,” he said.

At NexGenEsis Healthcare, the primary focus is on two significant areas: neuropathy and joint pain. Dr. Reddy explained that neuropathy refers to nerve damage that can arise from various causes, including chemotherapy, diabetes, poor circulation, and even past surgeries. This condition often results in distressing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and burning sensations, primarily affecting the feet and hands. Balance issues can also stem from neuropathy, making daily tasks increasingly difficult.

Osteoarthritis is a major concern for joint pain. The gradual wear and tear of joint cartilage leads to pain, decreased mobility, and reduced quality of life.

As patients grapple with the uncertainty and complexities of pain, finding effective treatment becomes vital.

Dr. Reddy said treatments draw upon the body’s own healing powers.

“We use a combination of the patient’s own biologics, as well as advanced therapies to put the body in the best position to heal itself. When I say their own biologics, we extract their own healthy cells, growth factors, and molecules, and then we reintroduce them into the affected areas.

Understanding when to seek help for pain is crucial. Dr. Fuhrman

explained that neuropathy symptoms tend to worsen over time; even minor indications like tingling or numbness should prompt an evaluation. Early investigation by orthopedic or neurological specialists at NexGenEsis can lead to timely interventions and tailored treatment plans.

NexGenEsis is offering a complimentary phone consultation for the first 50 callers who mention “Houston Life.” To get started, simply call (832) 570-4529 or visit nextgenesishealthcare.com.
