A New Hope for Nerve Pain: How CET Is Changing the Game for Peripheral Neuropathy

Aug 12, 2025

By Dr. Wendi Lundquist, DO | Active Life Pain Center

Peripheral neuropathy affects millions of Americans every year, often leaving patients frustrated with numbness, burning, tingling, or sharp pain in their hands and feet. Many are told there’s little they can do aside from medications that mask the pain without fixing the problem.

At Active Life Pain Center, we’re proud to offer a cutting-edge solution that goes beyond medications. It’s called Combined Electrochemical Treatment (CET)—a non-surgical, non-narcotic therapy designed to restore nerve function and relieve chronic nerve pain.

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage of the peripheral nerves, which transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. This damage may result from:

– Diabetes
– Trauma or injury
– Autoimmune conditions
– Vitamin deficiencies
– Medications or chemotherapy
– Alcohol abuse
– Genetic disorders
– Unknown causes (idiopathic neuropathy)

Common symptoms include:

– Burning, tingling, or sharp pain
– Numbness or loss of sensation
– Sensitivity to touch
– Muscle weakness
– Poor balance or coordination

A New Approach: Combined Electrochemical Treatment (CET)

Traditional treatments often rely on painkillers that merely dull the symptoms. CET is different.

We use a combination of local anesthetic nerve blocks and FDA-cleared Neurogenx electronic signal therapy to address the root cause of nerve dysfunction. This treatment works at the cellular level to reduce swelling, flush out waste products, rebalance pH levels, and stimulate nerve healing.

According to Dr. Peter Carney, M.D., CET is based on principles of quantum physics—designed to enhance cellular metabolism and restore both sensory and motor nerve function.

The result? Less pain. Better function. And renewed hope.

What to Expect From CET

How many treatments do I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of at least 18 sessions.

How long is each session?
– Initial evaluation: approximately 1 hour
– Regular treatments: about 45 minutes

Does it hurt?
Not at all. We use a cold spray to reduce discomfort during the injection, and the Neurogenx signal therapy is painless.

What is the success rate?
Studies show an 87% success rate in reducing neuropathic pain with CET.

Why This Matters

For many of our patients, CET has been life-changing. If you or a loved one is suffering from chronic nerve pain, you don’t have to settle for prescriptions that only mask the issue. CET offers a safe, targeted, and science-backed path to healing.
