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 of 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.
Nancy Sencil, L.Ac, of 5 Points Acupuncture in
Athens, Georgia shares this belief. “I’ve been
treating neuropathy, in all its various forms, for
over two decades and so often my patients come
to see me because of the symptoms, not because
of a diagnosis. They saw one of my magazine ads,
or read the testimonial of another patient and say
to themselves, ‘hey, I feel the same thing’.”
Cecilia B. from Athens testified to this. “I
remember my husband driving me to my
consultation and I saw a woman running just
outside our neighborhood. I was so envious -1
just kept thinking ‘I would give anything just to
walk again’. My primary care doctor told me my
troubles with pain and balance were just
symptoms of old age and gave me a prescription. I
was so depressed.”
Fortunately, Cecilia would eventually see Nancy
in the local paper talking about similar symptoms
and how she offers a real solution at 5 Points
Acupuncture. “I just knew I had to see her. She
was my last hope.”
“Almost all of our patients come to us with a story
similar to Cecilia'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 Edyn, a
Patient Care Coordinator at 5 Points Acupuncture.
“It just breaks my heart but I know how much we
can help people like Cecilia so I’m always so happy
when they walk through our door.”
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. This is why Nancy and the staff at 5 Points
Acupuncture pride themselves on being ‘the last
resort with the best results’.
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the
nerves and this damage is 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 Nancy. “This usually indicates that
your nerves are hanging on by a fragile thread,”
So how exactly is Nancy able to reverse the 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 happens
when I integrate ATP Resonance BioTherapy™.
This is tech that was originally developed by
NASA to expedite recovering and healing.”
“I just can’t say enough about 5 Points
Acupuncture,” Cecilia shared through tears of joy.
“My husband and I moved here 3 years ago and he
plays golf once a week. I had to quit playing because
of the pain and discomfort. Last week, I played with
him! And next week we’re going line dancing. I am
truly living life these days!”
“According to Cecelia’s test results, she has seen a
74% improvement in pain and functionality, which
is on par with a majority of our patients,” shares
Edyn. “But more important than those test results
is the joy she’s expressed being here and hearing
about 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,
Nancy Sencil 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 chances of a full recovery.
If you or someone you love are suffering with
chronic pain that presents as burning, tingling, or
‘pins and needles’ or you’ve recently been
diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, it’s
important to know that there are options. There
is hope.
