National Neuropathy Week May 17-21

My name is Dr Mary Adkins and I was wondering if you would be interested in a story that focuses on HEALTH and RECOVERY??

I am a provider of the Neuropathy Treatment Centers of America which is based in Arizona. We have members across the United States.

Neuropathy Awareness Week is coming up next week, and I would like to give you some info about the disease to raise awareness and to highlight the positive changes we are having with our patients in San Antonio who suffer with this pretty nasty disease. We have been treating Peripheral Neuropathy Patients over a year with much success. The Treatment that we employ allows for Recovery over time and has been proven to allow our Peripheral Neuropathy Patients to experience a much better quality of Life while living with decreased leg and foot pain, tingling, redness and dysfunction.

Here's the link for the Neuropathy Association- Interesting!!!

Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common chronic diseases in the U.S…over 20 million Americans have it. Peripheral neuropathy or “nerve damage” disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. It is like the body’s electrical wiring system breaking down, causing numbness, pain, weakness and poor coordination

The National Institutes of Health spent $35 million in 2004 and $29 million in 2005 on peripheral neuropathy research. NIH funding for neuropathy research lags far behind its investment in other neurological disorders. For other disorders with a similar range of disability (multiple sclerosis and epilepsy), the NIH expenditure per patient ratio is approximately 200 times greater than it is for neuropathy.

Too often, patients are told there is nothing that can be done for them, they will just have to live with it. Some patients are even told it is all in their heads, that they are imagining it. People who are suffering with the disorder often feel they have nowhere to turn. They feel isolated and alone. Even their families do not understand what they are going through and start to doubt them. The Neuropathy Association is working hard to change these perceptions through its awareness-building and outreach activities.

Public awareness of this illness is unfortunately low. A 1999 awareness survey reported that only 7% of all adults in the U.S. know about neuropathy. And, yet, it is estimated that up to 20 million Americans, whether they know it or not, currently have some type of neuropathy.

Neuropathy Treatment Center San Antonio

New Patient this week- Past Nurse with Lots of Experience- Lots of Health Issues- Ready to Address Her Health- Serious Neuropathy issues- both legs and both hands!!!

Video of another Neuropathy Patient Below!!!

Responding to her Neuropathy Treatment- already 'feeling better' - already responding to care.
She was a Chiropractic Patient at Adkins Family Chiropractic http://www.dradkinschiro.cc years ago and did very well. She responds to care very quickly and felt no need for "Wellness Care". She recently returned for 'Pain'.
When she found out about the Neuropathy Treatment Center located inside my Chiropractic Office at 8812 Tradeway in San Antonio, TX. She requested to be tested. We did her leg testing on Tuesday 3-23-10. She signed up for care immediately.
In my office we use a 10 treatment Neuropathy plan (although most Neuropathy issues require at least 20 visits) and we offer a refund of all money paid if no improvement within 6 visits. Most serious leg and foot issues will require a minimum of 20 visits over 2-3 months. The improvement seen within 10 visits is great but within 20 visits we've had some folks have almost complete resolution.
If you or someone you Know & Love have leg pain, numbness, weakness, restlessness or Numbness and Tingling- please go to http://www.neurotca.com put in your zip code and locate a Neuropathy Center near you!!!
Here's a video of another of my Neuropathy Patients- Estella!!!
