High-Tone Therapy for Polyneuropathy and Nerve Pain
High-Tone Therapy at Neuro Praxis Düsseldorf
What Is High-Tone Therapy?
High-tone therapy is a modern form of transcutaneous electrical stimulation that has been used successfully for many years in the treatment of chronic pain and neurological disorders.
Unlike conventional electrotherapy, its effects are not limited to pain relief alone. High-tone therapy is designed to positively influence both nervous system function and cellular metabolism through the application of high-frequency electrical impulses.
Particularly in disorders affecting the peripheral nerves, high-tone therapy is often used as a complementary treatment to support regenerative processes.
When Can High-Tone Therapy Be Beneficial?
At Neuro Praxis Düsseldorf, we primarily use high-tone therapy for the following neurological conditions:
- Polyneuropathy
- Small Fiber Neuropathy
- Neuropathic pain (nerve pain)
- Neuralgia
- Burning, tingling, or abnormal sensations in the hands and feet
- Pain affecting the arms and legs
- Neck and shoulder pain with a neurological component
- Chronic pain syndromes
Whether high-tone therapy is appropriate in your individual case is determined through a comprehensive neurological evaluation and diagnostic assessment.
What Are the Goals of Treatment?
High-tone therapy pursues several therapeutic objectives simultaneously:
Pain Relief
Many patients report a significant reduction in chronic nerve pain and neuropathic symptoms.
Improved Blood Circulation
The treatment may enhance local microcirculation and thereby improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and nerves.
Activation of Cellular Metabolism
High-frequency electrical impulses can stimulate metabolic activity within the treated tissues.
Support of Nerve Function
The goal is to promote the regeneration of damaged nerve structures and support the overall function of the nervous system.
How Is the Treatment Performed?
High-tone therapy is provided on an outpatient basis at our practice.
During treatment, electrodes are placed on the affected areas of the body. Specially modulated electrical impulses are then delivered through these electrodes. The procedure is non-invasive and is generally well tolerated by most patients.
Typical Treatment Schedule
- Duration per session: approximately 30 minutes
- Treatment course: usually 5–10 sessions
- Setting: outpatient treatment at Neuro Praxis Düsseldorf
The exact number of sessions depends on the individual condition and the patient's response to therapy.
High-Tone Therapy for Polyneuropathy
A particular focus of our practice is the treatment of patients with polyneuropathy.
Common symptoms include:
- Burning feet
- Tingling and numbness
- Leg pain
- Impaired balance and gait instability
- Increased pain during the night
In these cases, high-tone therapy may represent a valuable complementary treatment option, especially when conventional medication alone does not provide sufficient relief.
A Gentle Treatment Option for Neurological Pain
High-tone therapy is a well-established, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce neuropathic pain and support neurological regeneration.
It complements our comprehensive approach, which combines careful neurological diagnostics, individualized treatment planning, and modern pain management strategies.
