PATIENT STORY OF THE MONTH! Patricia Is Living and Loving Life Pain-Free

People experiencing neuropathy can help ease their pain, numbness, and tingling of limbs through exercise. Often, the symptoms resulting from neuropathy cause many people to avoid participating in intense activities. However, with soft exercises like yoga, your mind and body can both benefit. HowYoga Helps the Body Yoga is meant to strengthen and create an awareness between the body and mind. Practicing yoga requires you to focus internally, rather than externally, on your body’s natural abilities and healing process. Intentional breathing is essential in yoga and causes relaxation as you move from one pose to the next.The deliberate movements of each yoga pose improves blood flow and flexibility and increases energy and body strength. Yoga’s Effect on Neuropathy When it comes to neuropathy, yoga is a significant asset because it improves bodily and mental awareness and enhances communication among the brain, spine, and nerves. Over the years, researchers have poured hours into yoga’s effect on those suffering from diabetes-related neuropathy. In a 2002 study, the Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology found that when 20 people withType 2 diabetes implemented yoga for 30–40 minutes a day for 40 days, they experienced improved nerve function. Not to mention, yoga also had a beneficial effect on glycemic control. Then in 2012,Annals of IndianAcademy of Neurology conducted more research and found that yoga is indeed a complementary and integrative treatment for neuropathy. While yoga is sure to help with the symptoms you endure through neuropathy, it shouldn’t be your only means of treatment.

Before she came to us, Patricia was struggling with several aspects of her life due to the severity of her neuropathy. Even small actions, such as holding a glass of water, brushing her teeth, eating with a fork, or standing up out of bed, became excruciating for her. She also had trouble sleeping through the night, as the pain in her arms and legs became too unbearable for her to lie comfortably in her own bed.

“I was having pain in my feet and legs — numbness, burning all the way up my arms,” she says. But that wasn’t the only condition she struggled with, “I was achy all day, and I had trouble standing.”These symptoms, Patricia describes, made her “very hot and just uncomfortable.” She realized she needed help, and for that, she needed to take action. Patricia contacted our doctors at Superior Health Centers and spoke with us about the problems she was facing, and our doctors took all of these symptoms into account to create a treatment plan for her. Patricia started on neuropathy treatment to finally rid her of the pain she was experiencing, and for the first time in a long time, she felt comfortable in her own body. “I felt great! After my first treatment, I slept completely through the night without taking any medication. I’m able to do my work on my laptop without pain. My grip is back; I can lift normally and walk.” For Patricia, this treatment was life-changing, something she describes as “the best investment that I’ve done financially in my life to restore my health, feel good, and just be able to live normally.” If you’re tired of living your life with pain, we have answers for you. Call Superior Health Centers today at 888-530-6465 to learn how our neuropathy treatment can help you truly live your life.
