The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of three different interventions in improving neuropathy symptoms in individuals aged 35-85 with moderate to severe neuropathy. The study will compare three treatment groups: Intraneural Facilitation® (INF®) therapy alone, INF® therapy combined with Neuro vascular index (NVI) food-guided elimination (NVIf), and NVIf alone. The aim is to determine which treatment results in the greatest improvement in neuropathy symptoms, including quality of life, sensory and pain improvements, and functional outcomes.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to observe the effectiveness of a manual physical therapy technique known as Intraneural Facilitation (INF®), both independently and in combination with a Nutritional Vascular Inflammation focused (NVIf) dietary intervention, in improving neurovascular function, pain, and physical performance in individuals with moderate to severe peripheral neuropathy (PN). Subjects will be randomized into one of the three interventions arms: (1) INF® therapy alone, (2) NVIf intervention alone or (3) a combination of both. INF® is a manual therapy, while NVI…

INF® therapy is a manual technique designed to improve neural circulation by using a series of manual holds administered by a trained practitioner,
NVIf is a dietary intervention that uses a patented ultrasound technology to assess vascular responses to food allergens
