***What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (hereditary motor sensory neuropathy)?***
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a disease affecting the peripheral nerves.
The nervous system in the body can be divided into 2 categories: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
The peripheral nerves make up a vast network that transmits impulses from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body. Peripheral nerves also send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord.
Peripheral neuropathies refer to a diverse group of diseases affecting the motor, sensory and autonomic nerves lying outside the central nervous system (i.e. the spinal cord and the brain). This can cause a wide variety of symptoms, such as weakness, numbness or sensitivity to touch.

What Is The Neurogenx Treatment?
Non-narcotic, non-surgical and non-invasive, Neurogenx provides one-of-a-kind electro-medical treatment. It is a treatment that has had dramatic results in patients across the country.
Neurogenx electro-medical protocol relieves neuropathy symptoms and severe neuromuscular pain by safely using cutting-edge, high-frequency electronic waves to gently reach deep down through muscle and tissue.
The treatment creates changes at the body’s cellular level that reduce swelling, remove excess fluids and waste products, alter Ph levels and increase cellular metabolism. These changes relieve pain and help healing begin.
