“It feels like I’m stepping from razor blade to razor blade.”
“My legs feel like they’re being attacked by fire ants.”
“It’s like walking on wet paint with your socks rolled up.”
And you’re always in this kind of pain.
“It’s persistent, keeping me up at night and preventing me from doing even the most mundane tasks, things I used to take for granted, like putting on my shoes or going shopping. Two of my three children. got married last year and I didn’t even know if I would be able to attend their wedding,” says Rose W.
Rose was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in 2015. This peripheral neuropathy is a degenerative disease that affects approximately 5% of people over the age of 55.
“My doctor sat me down and said, ‘Rose, I’m sorry to tell you this, but you have peripheral neuropathy. I’m going to prescribe gabapentin to help with the discomfort. , Overall, neuropathy is untreatable.” My first thought was, “Can you treat cancer, but can’t stop the pain in your legs?” It felt like a cruel joke. ”
Although neuropathy can be caused by a variety of causes, including diabetes and chemotherapy, more than 23% of neuropathy cases are classified as idiopathic. Simply put, the cause is unknown. Such was the case with Rose. “Basically, no matter what question I asked, the answer was ‘I don’t know.’ It was depressing, to say the least.”
Eventually, Rose was forced to quit her job because she started experiencing numbness and was unable to drive.
Fortunately for Rose, she discovered acupuncture after attending a local health and wellness seminar. There, the speakers briefly mentioned the success of acupuncture in treating various chronic diseases, including neurological disorders. “I thought it must be fake. After many experts told me there was no hope, this doctor told me he had a 90% success rate in treating neurological disorders. I just called. I had to, and I can’t thank you enough for that.”
Dr. Jeffrey Savage, founder of Nyberg Acupuncture & Wellness, says cases like Rose’s are extremely common. “Nearly all of my neuropathy patients have been told at some point that there is no hope. I like to think I specialize in providing hope.”
In the words of the New York Times, “Where Western medicine fails, Chinese medicine proves itself.”
“Acupuncture has been used to treat complex chronic conditions such as neurological disorders for thousands of years,” says Dr. Savage. “I start with the basics, blending this proven science with the latest insights from modern medical research. I then examine a variety of factors, including the severity of the neurological disorder, how long it has been affected, and whether there are underlying factors. We tailor our treatments based on these personalized treatment programs.
Four months after treatment, Rose is back to work and thriving. “Going back to work isn’t even the most fun thing,” Rose says. “Not only did I get to attend my son’s wedding, but I also got to walk down the aisle. It was the most magical moment and I would like to thank Dr. Jeff. When I think about it, I missed it. It could have been.” Rose fought back tears.
