Imagine being told that there was no treatment for your condition and resigning yourself to a life of pain and inactivity. That was Rocky’s story. He was once trapped by peripheral neuropathy. But today, he’s not just living; he’s thriving and adventuring with his loved ones. Rocky’s transformation is a testament to the remarkable care he received at AIM Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine.

“I was told I had to live with peripheral neuropathy and had almost given up hope. AIM gave me life back!” – Rocky

The Painful Reality

Peripheral neuropathy was robbing Rocky of mobility and joy. His family doctor and several specialists offered little more than condolences and prescriptions and he found himself on Gabapentin. While Gabapentin is intended to treat the symptoms of neuropathy, it doesn’t actually treat the condition. It merely masks the symptoms and comes with uncomfortable side effects.

“My wife and I used to travel and live in our RV for a majority of the year,” shares Rocky. “The neuropathy certainly made that difficult but the Gabapentin made it nearly impossible. I was dizzy and tired most of the time, not exactly how you want to feel when behind the wheel of an RV. We were debating selling our RV when I found AIM Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine.”

At AIM we specialize in treating chronic pain and complicated conditions, including peripheral neuropathy and boast a 93% success rate in reversing it’s effects and reducing symptoms.

“At AIM, we believe in the power of integrative medicine, personalized plans and compassionate care. Rocky’s case was no exception,” shares Rebecca Powell, Clinical Director. “Our goal is to get our patients back to living their lives so it was super important that we get Rocky and his wife back on the road.”

While acupuncture is a vital component in treating peripheral neuropathy, it’s only part of what we have to offer.

“Our ATP Resonance BioTherapy© is our secret weapon of sorts,” details Karen Jehl, Director of Patient Care. “Not only is it why we have such a high success rate and the reason our patients see results as quickly as they do but it’s completely mobile.”

What did that mean for Rocky and his wife?

“At a certain point in my treatment, I came off the pills and felt comfortable getting back on the road. The folks at AIM were thrilled for me and designed a distance program so we could travel again. Now I chat with the team at AIM once a month or so and do treatment on my own in the comfort of my RV. It’s really incredible and I can’t thank them enough.”

Not only is ATP Resonance BioTherapy© suitable for travelers like Rocky and his wife, but we have been using it to treat residents of the Great Pee Dee. “The success of our treatments rely heavily on consistent and repeated care, which can prove difficult for some of our patients as they have difficulty commuting, or rely on family support to show up to appointments. So the fact that we can provide the same level of care in the privacy of your own home is unprecedented. It infinitely extends our ability to help people live lives free from pain.”

A Second Chance For All

Rocky’s transformation, while amazing, is not necessarily remarkable.

“These are the kinds of success stories we make happen on a daily basis,” details Rebecca Powell. “And not just for those suffering from peripheral neuropathy. We truly specialize in giving people their lives back.”

 

Rocky’s story is a testament that hope is never lost. At AIM Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine we are committed to helping patients rediscover their zest for life and empowering them to make their golden years golden.
