Dr. Rhodes featured on KVUE TV in Austin
Two Austin physicians unveiled a machine Monday that could dramatically improve the life of people with Parkinson’s disease. It's a device that sends small electrical currents into the hands and feet of patients. They say so far it's showing very positive results.
Dr. Donald Rhodes is a podiatrist who developed the machine originally for a patient who had a nerve disorder. He wondered whether it could help those with Parkinson’s disease. They began testing it a month ago. Once a day, patients use his machine to send electrical currents into their bodies. "It's done through electrodes on the hands and feet, and it stimulates acupuncture points and reflexology points, as well as free nerve endings," said Dr. Rhodes.
Dr. Rob Izor is the Austin neurologist who oversees the tests. He says all five of their patients have shown progress. Doctors Izor and Rhodes say more research is needed before their machine will be available to the public.
