General Neuropathy (Nerve Pain)

Dr. Leaf,

I would like to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done for me.

You came to a TOPS meeting, of which I am the leader, and spoke to our group on exercising correctly and I was so impressed with your presentation that evening that I called your office to make an appointment.

I have had neuropathy for over a year.  I have gone to two medical doctors, a podiatrist, and a neurologist.  I got several prescriptions for medicines that seemed to help some with the burning symptoms, but the needle like pain in my feet and ankles just drove me crazy and nothing would help that pain.  Because of the pain I couldn’t walk for any length of time and I could not walk without shoes. I had to sleep with socks on all the time.

After three treatments the needle like symptoms are gone.  I still have some burning but it is nothing like before.  Even my toes are less sensitive to pain now.  The first time you aligned my ankles I could feel the difference immediately.  As I walked to the car even my husband noticed that I was walking better and I was so happy to be walking without pain.

I just want to tell you how thankful and how appreciative I am for what you have done for me.

Thank you,

Loretta Smiley
