Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Solutions to Wellness | Ep 57 | Fountain of Vitality

Dr. Stephen L. Barrett spent years as a traditional foot and ankle surgeon before a chance meeting with a Johns Hopkins plastic surgeon reshaped his career. The surgeon, Dr. Lee Dellon, had found that nerve damage doctors call irreversible in diabetic patients is often not nerve death at all, it is nerve compression, and compression can be surgically relieved. Within two years, Barrett's practice had shifted almost entirely to peripheral nerve work. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Dr. Stephen L. Barrett, DPM, Podiatrist & Lower Extremity Peripheral Nerve Surgeon at US Neuropathy Centers, to explain how nerve decompression surgery is changing outcomes for people living with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Barrett lays out the numbers behind sensation restoration, re-ulceration prevention, and amputation avoidance, and covers what the outpatient surgery actually involves. If you or someone you love is living with diabetic neuropathy, this conversation could change what you think is possible.

In 2008, Van Carlson watched the auctioneer's gavel come down on businesses run by people he knew. Little league sponsors. Pillars of their towns. Good operators who worked hard and still lost everything when the financial risk they carried every day finally caught up with them. He had sold insurance to many of them.
