Peripheral Neuropathy Breakthrough!

“My feet feel like they’re on fire.” “Each step feels like I’m walking through wet paint.”

“I live in constant fear that I’ll fall.” “I can’t sleep, my hands and feet tingle all night.”

What do all these people have in common? They suffer from peripheral neuropathy. It’s estimated that more than 20 million people in the United States have peripheral neuropathy. Unfortunately, this figure may be significantly higher as the disease is often misdiagnosed because of its wide array of symptoms.

Dr. Shawne Lopes of Pivot Acupuncture & Integrative Health in Vallejo shares this belief. “I’ve been treating neuropathy in all it’s various forms. My patients often come to me not because of the diagnosis, but because of their symptoms. They’ve seen one of my ads or spoke to someone they know who has seen us and say to themselves, ‘that sounds just like what I’m going through’.”

Tina N. of Benicia testified to this. “I remember my husband driving me to my consultation and seeing a woman running in the park. I just thought, ‘I’d be so grateful just to walk again’. My primary doctor told me troubles with pain and balance were just symptoms of old age and gave me a prescription. This really had me feeling down.”

Fortunately Tina overheard a friend from church talking about similar symptoms and how Dr. Shawne offered a real solution with tremendous results. “I decided right then that I needed to see her. My friend’s story gave me so much hope.”

Those diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy often face a very grim reality. Western medicine declares that there is no solution while most alternative therapies carry large price tags and offer little to no resolve. Which is why Dr. Shawne and the staff at Pivot pride themselves on being ‘the last resort with the best results’.

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damaged nerves, commonly caused by lack of blood flow in the hands and feet. A lack of blood flow results in a lack of nutrients. The nerves then begin to degenerate and die which causes pain ranging from discomfort to debilitating. Because neuropathy is a degenerative condition. Once those nerves begin to deteriorate they will continue to do so until they are completely expired, leaving those suffering with crippling balance issues. “In this case, the absence of pain is not necessarily a good thing”, shares Dr. Shawne. “This usually indicates that your nerves are hanging on by a fragile thread.”

So how exactly is Dr. Shawne able to reverse effects of this degenerative disease? “Acupuncture has been used to increase blood flow for thousands of years which helps to get the necessary nutrients to the affected nerves. But the real magic happen when I integrate the ATP Resonance BioTherapy. This is the tech that was originally developed by NASA to expedite recovery and healing.”

“According to Tina’s test results, she has seen a 74% improvement in pain and functionality, which is on par with a majority of our patients”, shares Ari.

“But more important than those test results is the joy she shows as she shares all the amazing things she’s able to do because she feels great!”

By seamlessly blending the ancient science of acupuncture with modern medical solutions, Dr. Shawne has achieved a 90% success rate in reversing the effects of neuropathy.

She starts each patient with an initial consultation during which a sensory exam is performed. “This not only aids in making a proper diagnosis but it helps to define just how much nerve damage has occurred. This is important because if a patient has suffered more than 95% damage, there is little that I can do to help them. I’m familiar with the medical miracle but I know my limits as a practitioner and the limits of my medicine.”

When it comes to treating peripheral neuropathy, regardless of its origin, early detection greatly improves your chance for a full recovery.

If you or someone you love is suffering with chronic pain that presents as burning, tingling or ‘pins and needles’, or you’ve recently been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, its important to know that there are options.

“Almost all of our patients come to us with a story similar to Tina’s. They’ve been everywhere else. They’ve been told there’s no hope. They’ve been told it’s just part of getting older”, shares Ari, a Patient Care Technician at Pivot. “I know how much we’ve helped people like Tina so I’m always happy when they walk through our door.”

“I just can’t say enough about Pivot”, shares Tina emotionally. “My husband and I moved here 3-years ago, and I’ve always stayed behind when he heads out to enjoy a stroll or a cup of coffee in downtown Benicia, afraid of my pain and discomfort. Yesterday I walked with him clown 1st Street! And next week we’re going on a walk through the State Park. I am truly living life these clays.”
