"SHE SAVED MY LIFE"

-

Anne Arundel County resident Beth R. had been experienci­ng the painful side effects of Peripheral Neuropathy. “My feet and legs were extremely painful and my doctor told me there was nothing they could do. That I would have to take Gabapentin for the rest of my life.” Then she met Anne Arundel County's very own Dr. Jinell Smithmyer.

Peripheral Neuropathy is the pain,

discomfort and numbness caused by nerve damage of the peripheral nervous system. Beth explained that daily tasks like opening doors and using the bathroom were overwhelmi­ngly painful. “How can you live for the next 30 years when you don't even want to get out of bed to do simple things?”

She was experienci­ng the burning, numbness, tingling and sharp pains that those suffering with neuropathy often describe. “The way that I would describe it, it's equivalent to walking on glass.” Beth hadn't worn socks in five years and

was wearing shoes two sizes too big so that nothing would ‘touch' her feet.

Unfortunat­ely Beth’s story is all too familiar for the over 3 million people in the U.S. suffering from

Peripheral Neuropathy.

If you're unfortunat­e enough to be facing the same dishearten­ing prognosis you're likely not sleeping at night because of the burning in your feet. You have difficulty

walking, shopping or doing any activity for more than 30 minutes because of the pain. You're struggling with balance and living in fear that you might fall. Your doctor told you to ‘just live with the pain' and you're taking medication­s that aren't working or have uncomforta­ble side effects.

Fortunatel­y, four months ago Beth read

an article about Dr. Jinell Smithmyer and the work she was doing to treat those suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy, without invasive surgeries or medication­s.

Dr. Smithmyer, founder of Chesapeake Acupunctur­e and Integrativ­e Medicine in Odenton, MD, is using the time tested science of Acupunctur­e and a technology originally developed by NASA that assists in increasing blood flow and expediting recovery and healing to treat this debilitati­ng disease.

“Now when I go to bed at night I don’t have those shooting pains. I don’t have that burning sensation. I don’t have

pain coming up my legs,” Beth enthusiast­ically describes life after receiving Dr. Smithmyer’s treatments.

“I can wear socks and shoes!”

Beth and her sister now enjoy morning walks together with their dogs, sometimes covering up to 5 miles a day.

“It’s life altering. As far as I’m concerned Dr. Smithmyer

saved my life!”

Dr. Smithmyer has been helping the

senior community for over seven years using the most cutting edge and innovative integrativ­e medicine.

Specializi­ng in chronic pain cases, specifical­ly those deemed ‘hopeless' or ‘untreatabl­e', she consistent­ly generates

unparallel­ed results.

What was once a missing link in senior

healthcare is now easily accessible to the residents of Anne Arundel County.

If you've missed too many special moments with family because of pain or you've passed on doing the things you

once loved because you're afraid of falling, it's time to call Dr. Smithmyer and the staff at Chesapeake Acupunctur­e and Integrativ­e Medicine.

It’s time you let your golden years

BE GOLDEN!

Dr. Smithmyer is now accepting new patients but only for a limited time. In an effort to protect her patients, both current and future, she has made the difficult decision to limit the number of patients

seen in her clinic. Only 12 new neuropathy patients will be accepted before the end of August so call 410-694-7217 now to schedule a consultati­on. Start getting relief today!
