trucks out of the way. snow plows did a good job up here. but it was the truckers left with probably the biggest surprise with this storm. >> sliding. it ain't fun sliding in the diesel. that ain't fun. you don't want to hit nobody, especially one of those cars right here. >> reporter: loveland pass is still closed right now, so they've been doing closures here at i-70 to allow some of the hazmat trucks at the top of the hour to go that's what we're seeing now here on i-70, because loveland pass is still closed while they're cleaning up another wreck that was over there. we saw the snow guns out at loveland ski resort over the hill. it feels like you're in the middle of december now, and it is only the beginning of october. britt, i'll send you a hat if you want one. >> we may need one, but now we're at 57 in the denver metro

matt is? certainly 30s, maybe upper 20s. of course colder temperatures for all of us. yesterday we hit 81 in denver. today we'll be in the mid-60s. of course clear skies for denver, boulder, fort collins, greeley. all of us along the front range, we're not going to see any precipitation here. as we move doppler 4000 to the west we see the cloud cover still over the mountains, and still a few snowflakes. we're done with snow, but could be a few light snow showers along the i-70 corridor. the snow will be limited to the higher mountain areas, and for denver and all of us on the front range we're going to keep it dry. let's take a look at wind speeds. it is breezy today. nothing like yesterday, but still 20-mile-per-hour wind in englewood. stronger where you see those colors as you move up the hill. almost at 60. i think we'll warm up about

still have some wind. nothing like yesterday. but you can see the u.s. and state flag whipping around in downtown denver here this midday. let's take a look at the wind speeds. again, nothing like yesterday when the gusts were over 30 miles per hour at times. still, in arvada wind speeds sustained 20 miles per hour. about the same in much of douglas county. teens in the foothills. temperatures meanwhile are getting closer to 60. it's like yesterday when we hit 81. instead, today highs will be in the mid-60s. which is a little below normal for the first week in october. doppler 4000 showing clear skies, other than that smoke around the denver area. boulder, fort collins, we're clear as well. still have the clouds of course in the mountains. next storm system already coming our way behind the cold front that passed last night. it's another cold front. it's going to be in wyoming

snow in the mountains. snow in the mountains. this is haystack tv, powered by haystackhelp.com. finding reliable services can be like finding a needle in a haystack. with haystackhelp.com finding the needle just got a lot easier. now here is the host of haystack tv, chris kane. you've perhaps heard of peripheral neuropathy. it's a condition where there's damage to the nerves in your feet and legs, or your hands and arms. it can be a devastating condition that causes pain, it could slowly progress over many years, and it can become severe and debilitating. this condition affects an estimated 20-million americans. dr. dean anderson is a chiropractor at front range medical center, which is a an integrated health clinic, and he's here to discuss an advancement in treatment that's providing great results and offering hope for many of those suffering from neuropathy. hey, thanks for being here. thanks for having me. so tell us exactly what is peripheral neuropathy.

and patients that come to see you, what are they dealing with? most patients we see have been dealing with this for a long period of time. so we see a lot of patients who are frustrated, they sometimes feel lost because they've been told nothing else can be done, and then they're just having to deal with the side effects of decreased quality of life. you know, oftentimes it they can't sleep at night. they suffer with a lot of burning pain,. they have numbness or they have issues with balance, and it's very frustrating. what causes it? well the majority of cases we see are caused by blood sugar but there can be a number of things, whether it's toxicities, side effects of medications, and some cases are idiopathic, we don't know the cause. all right, well treatments then, what are the traditional treatments that are out there? well most patients we see that have been dealing with this, they're on medications like gabapentin, larotin, lyrica, and all of which are good. they can manage the symptom of pain, but it does nothing for the nerve. so as the medication wears off the pain is back, and it's just this ongoing process. why do people continue to suffer even though they are taking the medication.

mptom of pain but it does nothing for the nerve, so as that medication wears off, the pain is right back. well talk about what you do in your office, because you're having great results and, really, people that have been told that nothing can be done for your pain, you're helping them. yeah, the technology that we use is what we call electronic signaling treatment. it's a form of current that we use at very high frequencies depending on the type of nerve damage patients have. nerves are electrical. we want to get these nerves to fire better. now with this technology, we also use what's called a vasopneumatic device which helps increase blood flow or circulation to the nerves, so by stimulating the nerves, getting blood to these nerves, we allow these nerves to rebound. all right, well talk about the results that you're getting then. well, number one is we want to see subjective improvement, patients feel better. we want to see that they can sleep at night. they're not fall risks, they can have better balance, and they can just do more. we also want to see an improvement in nerve function, so we monitor that very carefully by assessing patients as we go through, because the goal is to improve function.

be helped. but talk about what else you do in your office. well as patients come in, we go through a screening process or qualification process to make sure we understand not only what's driving their condition but also what type of nerve damage they have. there's different types of neuropathy, and we specifically want to know, because that affects how we treat the individual. all right, we actually talked to a few of your patients, and let's take a listen and see what they had to say. great. when i first started coming to dr. anderson, i had no feeling in my feet. couldn't feel the brake pedal anymore. what has happened since is absolutely fantastic. i no longer fear losing my balance as i walk, i have feeling in my feet and lower legs again, and driving a car makes me much safer on the roads than i used to be. he told me he though he could help me and found out that it's

h the treatments, and right away i could tell a difference, and now i can walk by myself. i was falling down a lot. and if anybody has any question about it, you need to try it. at least come and see how it works for you. anyone that is suffering from pain, they need to give you a call, you can help them. i'm going to tell them how to get ahold of you. thanks for being here. great. many patients are told elsewhere that nothing can be done for the pain from neuropathy and that if you've heard this same thing from your doctor, dr. anderson is offering a free screening that includes looking at your personal health history, a confidential questionnaire, and a patient-specific neuropathy exam to determine if you are, indeed, a candidate for treatment. this is $120 value in his office. appointments are limited so call (720) 851-9694 or visit frmedicalcenter.com.
