Severe pain in the hands and feet is common with Peripheral Neuropathy, but it doesn’t need to be painful.
Edmontonians have been experiencing the painful side effects of peripheral neuropathy. Their legs and feet are in unbearable pain. Edmonton’s very own Doctor of Acupuncture, Dr. Melanie Morrill Ac. is working to stop peripheral neuropathy pain and chronic pain to ensure that everyone can walk, golf, hike, dance, live, and play with their grandkids without pain.
Peripheral neuropathy is the pain, discomfort and numbness caused by nerve damage to the peripheral nervous system. People find that daily tasks like opening doors and using the washroom are overwhelmingly painful. How can you live for the next 30 years when you don’t even want to get out of bed to do the simple things?
For people who have never experienced peripheral neuropathy, the way patients describe it, it’s like walking on glass. Folks sometimes even avoid socks and wear oversized shoes so that nothing “touches” their feet.
Unfortunately, this story is all too familiar for the thousands of people in Canada suffering from peripheral neuropathy.
If you’re unfortunate enough to be facing the same disheartening prognosis; you’re not sleeping at night because of the burning in your feet; you have difficulty walking, shopping, you’re struggling with balance and living in fear that you might fall; you may have been told to, “just live with the pain”, and you are taking medications that just aren’t working or have uncomfortable side effects.
Fortunately, there are effective treatment options for peripheral neuropathy without invasive surgery or medication.
Doctor of Acupuncture, Dr. Melanie Morrill Ac., founder of Accessible Acupuncture in Edmonton, AB, is here to help. She uses the time-tested science of acupuncture that treats peripheral neuropathy by increasing blood flow, enhancing nerve conductivity, and activating the body’s natural healing capacity.
After acupuncture, many patients report when they go to bed at night they don’t have shooting pains, burning sensations, or pain coming up their legs.
Dr. Morrill Ac. has been helping the senior community for over five years with a special interest in chronic pain and helping people who have been deemed ‘hopeless’ or ‘untreatable’.
What was once a missing link in senior health care is now easily accessible to the residents of the greater Edmonton area.
If you have been missing too many tee times because of your pain or you’ve passed on dancing because you’re afraid of falling, it’s time to call Dr. Melanie Morrill Ac. and the staff at Accessible Acupuncture.
It’s time you let your golden years BE GOLDEN!
