Neuropatía Diabética Dolorosa

La neuropatía diabética dolorosa es una complicación frecuente de la diabetes que daña los nervios y suele provocar sensaciones de ardor, punzadas u hormigueo, principalmente en los pies y las manos. Los niveles elevados de azúcar en sangre a lo largo del tiempo pueden lesionar las fibras nerviosas, interrumpiendo la comunicación entre el cerebro y las zonas afectadas. Las personas que padecen esta afección pueden experimentar una mayor sensibilidad al tacto, lo que hace que las actividades cotidianas resulten incómodas. A medida que la neuropatía diabética avanza, puede afectar considerablemente la calidad de vida y el bienestar general.

Síntomas de la neuropatía diabética dolorosa

Una sensación de hormigueo o ardor

Llagas (úlceras) en el pie o la pierna que cicatrizan lentamente

Dificultad para caminar y/o permanecer de pie

Pérdida total de sensibilidad en los pies

Sharp, jabbing pain that may be worse at night

La medicación, la fisioterapia, los bloqueos nerviosos y otros tratamientos no han ayudado.

Entumecimiento o menor capacidad para sentir dolor o cambios de temperatura, especialmente en los pies y los dedos de los pies.

Liberarse de la neuropatía diabética: un camino hacia el alivio sin medicamentos

Nuestro tratamiento para la neuropatía diabética es un proceso de dos etapas diseñado para brindar un alivio eficaz y duradero. Para determinar si esta terapia es adecuada para usted, ofrecemos una prueba de estimulador de la médula espinal, seguida de un implante permanente para el control del dolor a largo plazo si la prueba resulta exitosa. Este tratamiento mínimamente invasivo no solo ayuda a reducir el dolor, sino que también puede mejorar la sensibilidad y el equilibrio en personas con neuropatía diabética. 

Fase uno: Prueba de estimulador de la médula espinal

La prueba de estimulador de la médula espinal es un procedimiento rápido, de 15 a 20 minutos de duración, que se realiza en el consultorio médico con anestesia local o sedación. Permite a los pacientes experimentar los beneficios de alivio del dolor que ofrece un estimulador de la médula espinal antes de decidirse por una implantación permanente. El dispositivo envía impulsos eléctricos de alta frecuencia que bloquean las señales de dolor que viajan desde la espalda y las piernas hacia el cerebro, proporcionando así alivio para el dolor crónico. 

Durante la prueba, se colocan pequeños cables (llamados electrodos) a lo largo de la columna vertebral, en la zona donde se origina el dolor. Estos electrodos se conectan a un dispositivo externo temporal que se fija a la espalda con cinta adhesiva. Usted puede ajustar la configuración mediante un control remoto inalámbrico para gestionar su dolor. Durante 7 días, usted registrará sus niveles de dolor para evaluar la eficacia del dispositivo.

Si la prueba logra una reducción significativa del dolor (superior al 75 %), es posible que se recomiende un implante permanente.

Además de aliviar el dolor de espalda y piernas, el estimulador de la médula espinal puede mejorar la sensibilidad en los pies y los dedos de los pies en pacientes con neuropatía diabética, lo cual puede ayudar a mejorar el equilibrio y reducir el riesgo de caídas.

Fase dos: Implante de estimulador de la médula espinal

Si la prueba tiene éxito, el siguiente paso es el implante de un estimulador de la médula espinal, un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo para el control del dolor a largo plazo. 

Esta cirugía ambulatoria, que suele durar entre 30 y 60 minutos, consiste en colocar un pequeño dispositivo bajo la piel para seguir aliviando el dolor en la espalda y las piernas y, en algunos casos, mejorar la sensibilidad en los pies y los dedos de los pies. El procedimiento se realiza con anestesia local o sedación. 

Se realiza una pequeña incisión a lo largo de la columna vertebral para insertar los electrodos y otra cerca de la parte superior de los glúteos para colocar el generador de impulsos. La ubicación de los electrodos depende del origen del dolor. Una vez verificado que el dispositivo funciona correctamente, se cierran las incisiones.

La mayoría de los pacientes regresan a casa el mismo día, aunque puede persistir cierta sensibilidad o molestias en la zona tratada durante algunas semanas.

Siéntete Mejor, Más Rápido.

Mínimamente invasivo

Menor riesgo que con la cirugía tradicional

Se ha demostrado que reduce el dolor en un promedio del 80 %.

Tratamiento sin fármacos

Alivia el dolor sin sensación de hormigueo.

From start to finish, my experience with this practice has been exceptional. Every member of the staff—from the front desk to the physician assistants and clinical team—was kind, professional, and clearly invested in patient care. I consistently felt supported, listened to, and treated with genuine compassion.
Most especially, I want to recognize Dr. Saha, who is truly one of the most excellent physicians I have ever encountered. He quite literally changed my life. Dr. Saha diagnosed and treated my pelvic congestion syndrome and my severe foot pain with a level of care, precision, and humanity that is incredibly rare.
What sets Dr. Saha apart is not just his impressive credentials, but how he practices medicine. He listens deeply. He applies and synthesizes his knowledge in real time, thoughtfully adapting his approach to the patient in front of him. He explains complex medical information clearly and patiently in true layman’s terms, ensuring understanding rather than confusion. I never once felt rushed or dismissed, only respected.
His attention to detail, preparation, and willingness to approach delicate procedures with humility and care speaks volumes about his character and skill. The outcomes of my procedures reflect this: effective treatment with minimal trauma and clear signs of thoughtful, expert technique.
Finding an outstanding vascular specialist is incredibly difficult. Finding one who combines technical excellence with empathy, communication, and integrity is even rarer. Dr. Saha is that physician, an absolute angel of a doctor, and I am profoundly grateful for his care.
I cannot recommend Dr. Saha and his entire team highly enough. This is medicine practiced the way it should be.

I’ve had a consistently excellent experience at My Aim Health's newest location in Gilbert. From the front desk to the providers, the entire team is kind, courteous, and truly goes above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and well cared for.

The appointment process is smooth and efficient—they are always able to get patients in faster than any clinic I’ve ever been to. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and welcoming—it never feels like a cold or intimidating medical office.

Dr. Saha is wonderful. He listens attentively, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel confident in your care.

Katie, the nurse practitioner, is also fantastic. She’s incredibly skilled at vein treatments and consistently makes decisions that are in the patient’s best interest. Her expertise and compassionate approach are so appreciated.

When undergoing multiple vein treatments, you naturally get to know the staff, and developing those relationships makes the entire experience more pleasant and reassuring. It’s a comfort knowing you’re in good hands with people who genuinely care.

I would wholeheartedly recommend My Aim to family, friends, or anyone in need of vascular care. They provide exceptional, timely treatment delivered with kindness, respect, and professionalism.

Professional skill with a human touch sums up my visit with this provider. They took the time to explain what they would do and what they were in fact specifically doing during the medical procedure. All members of the team took the time to chat about personal interests too. Very pleased with their abilities to provide effective medical services. Strong recommendation.

5 years of Fibroid Pain Gone!
Backstory: I’d been having painful periods since 2020.. to where every month I’d have to call off work at least two days because the start of my flow was so heavy and painful..abdominal cramps and overwhelming fatigue would keep me in bed and missing out on life events. The pain felt like something blocking my flow.. something was in the way of having normal periods.

It wasn’t until I finally sought out my Gyno for an ultrasound that I found out I had uterine fibroids - one the size of my own uterus! Although there were a few surgical options.. the best option for me, a 36 y/o childless woman, was the Uterine Fibroid Embolization. My Dr. led me to a referral to My Aim Health and Dr. Arnold Saha - best decision made.

I had my procedure done early May, 2025..
From the outstanding, caring and compassionate team that walked me through the procedure to the surgical team performing the minimally invasive surgery.. everything went amazing.

The pain I felt for 5 years.. it’s gone. A month and a half later post surgery.. the heavy pressure my body was under dealing with the control of fibroids has been alleviated. It’s like my body did a big exhale of relief! Even my bladder is happier because the fibroid isn’t pushing on it making me feel like I have a uti.

All in all, if you are thinking about having this procedure done.. do it! This is your sign!
My Aim Health and Dr. Saha are amazing at what they do and they can help cure you of your uterine fibroid pain! I’m grateful and thankful to have had such a great experience🥲🥰🙏

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience at My Aim Health Vein and Vascular in Scottsdale. From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel genuinely cared for. They are consistently kind, courteous, and go above and beyond to ensure patients are comfortable and supported throughout their visit.

Scheduling appointments is incredibly easy, and their ability to get patients in quickly—especially when something is urgent—is unmatched. It’s rare to find a clinic that’s so efficient without compromising on the quality of care.

Dr. Saha is truly outstanding. He takes the time to listen, answers questions thoroughly, and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. His collaboration with other providers at the clinic shows just how cohesive and patient-focused their team is.

The clinic itself is clean, modern, and welcoming. It has a calming atmosphere that helps ease the anxiety often associated with medical visits.

I would absolutely recommend My Aim to my family and friends. They deliver exceptional, timely care with kindness, professionalism, and respect. It's clear they truly care about their patients.

I was spending 20-25 minutes each time I had to urinate ! It was awkward and uncomfortable. I woke up often to go in the middle of the night. I was actively looking for a non evasive solution to my problem! I have an artificial heart valve that requires me to be on warfarin and that causes me to bleed quite a bit if I am cut or have a laser procedure, so naturally I was not comfortable having this done! Through many questions I asked and a couple of urologists I finally found the right solution. It’s called a PAE I met Doctor Arnold Saha! I liked him instantly and set up the procedure asap ! I had a catheter and foly bag for 6 months so I had my doubts but just as he said two weeks later I was urinating like a race horse ! Pain free and no bleeding I was out of the procedure 3-4 hours later and on my way home. Others that had the procedure before me did not have a catheter and was able to urinate 30 minutes after the procedure! I was just happy to be back to feeling whole again. It is awesome! Thank you Doctor Saha , this procedure gave me my life back again!

I had the uterine fibroid embolization procedure done yesterday 6/5/2020. I highly recommend Dr, David Wood to anybody. I was highly impressed with Dr. Woods staff from my very first contact with his office. I was even more impressed when I went in for my consultation a week before my procedure was scheduled! Dr. Wood has phenomenal bedside manners, is very patient and takes the time to discuss the procedure very thoroughly, while allowing you to ask questions. My procedure went well and I am excited to see how this improves my quality of life! Happy tears! Thank you so much Dr. David Wood and his entire staff! You are the best!! 😊
