Sponsored: She Saved My Life!
Edmonton resident Dawn had been experiencing the painful side effects of peripheral neuropathy, “My feet and legs were extremely painful, and my doctor told me there was nothing they could do. That I would have to take gabapentin for the rest of my life.” Then she met Edmonton’s very own Acupuncturist, Dr. Melanie Morrill,Dr. Ac.
Peripheral neuropathy is the pain, discomfort and numbness caused by nerve damage to the peripheral nervous system. Dawn explained that daily tasks like opening doors and using the washroom were 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?”
She was experiencing the burning, numbness, tingling, and sharp pains that those suffering from peripheral neuropathy often describe.” The way that I would describe it is the equivalent of walking on glass.” Dawn hadn’t worn socks in five years and was wearing shoes two sizes too big so that nothing would “touch” her feet.
Unfortunately, Dawn’s story is all too familiar for the over one million 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, or doing any activity for more than 30 minutes because of the pain. You’re struggling with balance and living in fear that you might fall. Your doctor told you to “just live with the pain,” and you are taking medications that just aren’t working or have uncomfortable side effects.
Fortunately, four months ago, Dawn read an article about Dr. Melanie Morrill, Dr. Ac. and the work she was doing to treat those suffering from peripheral neuropathy without invasive surgery or medication.
Doctor of Acupuncture, Dr. Melanie Morrill, Dr. Ac., founder of Accessible Acupuncture in Edmonton, AB, is using the time-tested science of acupuncture and technology originally developed by NASA that assists in increasing blood flow and expediting recovery and healing to treat this debilitating disease.
“Now, when I go to bed at night, I don’t have those shooting pains. I don’t have the burning sensation. I don’t have pain coming up my legs,”
Dawn enthusiastically describes life after receiving Melanie’s treatments.
“I can wear socks and shoes!”
Dawn and her sister now operate a successful dog-walking business, sometimes covering 5 kilometres a day.
“It’s life-altering. As far as I’m concerned, Melanie saved my life!”
