Many patients come to us with neuropathy, a chronic condition that brings constant pain, numbness, and tingling. It’s a bit like trying to play a game with a glitchy controller—no matter what you do, your body sends the wrong signals, leaving you frustrated and uncomfortable. Thankfully, with the right treatment, many of our patients have found lasting relief. Here’s one of their stories:
Wanda, a 72-year-old loving grandma, came to us as her last resort to relieve the pain in her legs that felt like pins and needles were stabbing her. She was diagnosed with neuropathy by her MD due to uncontrolled diabetes about a year ago.
“Ever since I was diagnosed with neuropathy, I never imagined my life would change so drastically. At first, it was a slight pain when walking for a while, so I started wearing socks with my favorite shoes. But now, I can’t even get my weekly pedicures, and, worst of all, I can’t play or do fun activities with my grandkids because of the pain. I tried all types of medication, but nothing worked. All I longed for was to go back to how life was before this constant pain took over.”
Desperate for relief, Wanda came across our website, Horizon Integrative Medicine, and saw how we treat patients with chronic pain. Wanda says, “I was looking online for treatments for neuropathy and found Dr. Ortega’s website.” Holding onto her last bit of hope, she called and booked a consultation.
When she arrived at the clinic, she expressed her deep need to find relief from the pain in her legs. Dr. Ortega created a personalized treatment plan just for her, and she started immediately. We used a combination of acupuncture, and ATP Resonance Biotherapy® (a treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to address pain). With these therapies combined, Wanda shared, “These treatments make my body feel so much better. Never stop using them when I come here.”
Within just a couple of weeks, Wanda’s pain level went from a 7 to a 2! This was a huge success. “When I went to church on Sunday, I was running a little late and forgot to put on my socks. I didn’t even realize it until the service was over—I didn’t feel any pain!” she said, with the biggest smile and tears of joy in her eyes.
At Horizon Integrative Medicine, we see many patients who suffer from neuropathy, but each case is unique. We are here to support you and help you find relief so you can live the life you want; without pain or limitations.
Wanda remains one of our cherished patients. Even after completing her treatment plan, she calls us to share her progress. “I got a pedicure last week, and my pain was completely gone! I also went out with my grandkids and didn’t feel even a hint of pain as we walked around the park!” she shares over the phone, her laughter bright and joyful. We love hearing about her milestones. It warms our hearts to know we’ve helped her live the life she deserves—pain-free and full of joy.
If you’re struggling to enjoy the things you love or even manage everyday activities, we’re here and ready to help you find the relief you need to get back to doing what matters most. Don’t hesitate to contact us; book your consultation today and start your journey toward a pain-free, renewed life.
