He’s been successfully treating neuropathy in the Tri-State for years, and what inspired Dr. Dwayne Ackerman to focus on treating peripheral neuropathy was watching a family member suffer with the condition.
His father was diagnosed with lung cancer and in the course of battling the disease, ended up developing peripheral neuropathy.
