SHE GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK

Local clinic has a modern, medical solution to treat your Peripheral Neuropathy and is seeing incredible results!

"It started out as a normal outing. My wife and I had to run to the grocery store. We were driving down the road casually going over our shopping list when the car ahead of me started to slow down anticipating the yellow light. I started to move my foot from the gas to the brake as any normal person would do when they see brake lights in front of them but I couldn't. I couldn't feel my foot. The car kept moving forward and I just couldn't get my foot on the brake. And CRUNCH! I finally came to a stop when I hit the car in front of me"

This tragic story was shared with us by Dan S., an Abington resident who has peripheral neuropathy. And while no one was hurt in the accident, Dan S. had suffered almost every day of his life with tingling and burning in his feet until numbness set in and he could no longer feel even the brake pedal beneath his foot.

"The first stage is pain," shares Ann Mertens of Stillwater Acupuncture. "You feel burning, tingling, sharp pains, or you feel like you're walking on tacks or marbles. This pain eventually subsides and the numbness sets in. Unfortunately the numbness brings with it a whole host of other problems."

This was the case with Dan. "I said I wasn't going to drive again. What if that had been a pedestrian?"

It is terribly common that peripheral neuropathy and its debilitating symptoms interfere with a person's ability to live their life. Dan was now reliant on his wife to drive him around; even the simple pleasure of driving down the shore or taking her out to dinner was outside his capabilities. And even more common, Dan's general practitioner and several specialists told him there was nothing they could do other than prescribe him pills that would ease the pain of his neuropathy.

That's where Ann Mertens and her staff at Stillwater Acupuncture come in. "About 40% of our current patients come to us suffering from the same condition as Mr. Dan," tells Ms. Mertens.

"They're in constant pain from neuropathy and it prevents them from not only living their lives, but more importantly, it prevents them from enjoying it. Depending on the severity of their nerve damage, we typically see tremendous progress in 3-4 months of treatment. I like to say we're in the business of making your golden years golden." "I can't lie," confides Dan. "I was skeptical at first. The folks at Penn told me there was nothing that could be done, and then there's an acupuncturist right here in Jenkintown that tells me she can help. Turns out she was right! About three months after treatment, I was able to confidently drive myself to my appo intments! My wife and I celebrated by buying ourselves a new car! It's hard to put into words how incredible this is, quite frankly [Ann] gave me my life back."

While Stillwater Acupuncture specializes in acupuncture, and it's definitely part of their protocols in treating neuropathy, the real secret is in a more modern medical solution called ATP Resonance BioTherapy™. "This technology was originally developed by NASA to expedite healing and recovery," shares Sara, a Senior Patient Care Technician at the clinic. "It's like watering a plant. ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ stimulates the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerve and provide them the proper nutrients to heal and repair."

Stillwater is a very intimate clinic, and the staff takes pride in their ability to take their time with each patient, so they are very limited in their ability to take on new patients.
