We are very excited to launch the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience! In this episode, you will hear Rich and Ronda Smith from the Black Hills Lifestyle Medicine Center in Hermosa, South Dakota. They are experts in hydrotherapy, which is the use of hot and cold water to improve blood circulation, nerve damage, GI dysfunction (bloating and constipation), viral infections, and musculoskeletal injuries. They are especially experienced in using hydrotherapy as a tool to improve the health of people with diabetes and have helped thousands of people. In this episode, they will cover: What exactly is hydrotherapy? What conditions can you treat using hydrotherapy? What is the exact protocol for treating neuropathy (nerve tingling caused by nerve damage)? How can you improve blood circulation? How do you know when to treat a local body part or your whole body using hot and cold therapy? And they share a few stories of patients who have used hydrotherapy to recover from severe neuropathy.
