Do You Have Neuropathy?
Do you have any of the following symptoms?
• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains
If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.
Neuropathy affects every part of your life - walking, sitting and even sleeping.
If You Suffer From A Single One Of These Torturous Symptoms____
THE FACTS BELOW MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT YOU HAVE EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE!
TESTS WITH NO ANSWERS
Maybe you’ve had multiple tests, only to find out no
one has any idea what you have or what is causing
your symptoms. Treating symptoms instead of the
cause almost always results in being put on a drug with
negative side effects. Maybe the drug even helped some
but you still have some symptoms.
TESTS PROVE YOU HAVE PERIPHERAL
NEUROPATHY
More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral
neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the
nerves that supply your arms and legs. Diabetes is
just one of over 40 causes of neuropathy. Other causes
include alcohol, drugs, and even pressure on the nerve
roots from undetected nerve damage. This painful
condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit
messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal
organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to
irreversible health conditions.
IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR PERIPHERAL
NEUROPATHY?
Integrated Pain Relief offers an FDA approved program
for treating Peripheral Neuropathy that actually aids in
healing the damaged nerves. Not just some symptom
relief without lasting results. Just a few visits can
bring non-drug healing. Patients report feeling better
physically and emotionally when they finally have relief
from the chronic pain. Why suffer with years of misery?
That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy
solution to your problem. Don’t live in pain when we
may have the solution you’ve been looking for and
wanting all along.
TREAT THE CAUSE
-NOT JUST THE
SYMPTOM
Many of the symptoms
of peripheral neuropathy
can also be symptoms of
other health problems.
If you have not already
been diagnosed, we use
the best test available to
diagnose neuropathy. If
you have been diagnosed
but still have symptoms
we can find out if you truly have neuropathy, another
problem or a combination of two or more. Integrated
Pain Relief doctors are all specialists. Why not get
help by those trained to find and correct the causes of
peripheral neuropathy and a host of pain conditions?
INSURANCE COVERAGE?
Most major insurance compaines and Medicare
do offer coverage for this treatment. Our office also
offers affordable treatment options for those without
insurance.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIND OUT IF
THE DOCTORS AT
INTEGRATED PAIN
RELIEF CAN HELP YOU.
The appointment will
take less than 2 hours.
And you won’t be sitting
in a waiting room all day
either! Once we are sure
of your diagnosis and
that we can help you,
Integrated Pain Relief
will offer a program
designed specifically
for your needs. We have
specialized treatment programs for helping patients
who suffer from the various neuropathies and most
pain conditions. If we can’t help you, we won’t waste
your time and money. We will tell you where you should
look for help.
Call us today and schedule a FREE consultation and
examination to determine the real causes of your
problems. We currently have only 16 new patient
appointments available in the next 14 days. Call now, as
these appointments will be taken fast.
PATIENTS SAY:
“After years of terrible suffering from neuropathy and
seeing many different doctors, I’m finally pain free.
I’m also off all the drugs that were causing me a lot
of problems too. The doctors at Integrated Pain Relief
took the time to find out and address the cause of my
problem, used a treatment that actually worked that
is all natural and told me what I needed to do to help
myself at home. I can walk and sleep like I did years
ago. If you have any pain problem you need to go to this
dime.
