The new year brings new challenges but also opportunities to take on those challenges, and none could be more important than focusing on your health. That’s where Integrity Chiropractic Health Center comes in.
Their chiropractors specialize in treating the debilitating pain, numbness, stinging, tingling, balance issues, and weakness that accompany peripheral neuropathy, which can be debilitating for people who suffer from the condition.
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord, or peripheral to it, become damaged. The condition can be caused by a traumatic injury, an infection, an exposure to toxins, chemotherapy, or, one of the most common causes, as the result of diabetes, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The peripheral nervous system sends signals from the spinal cord, or the central nervous system, to the rest of the body through nerve pathways.
When those pathways become damaged or interrupted, it can result in symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy.
Neuropathy symptoms typically show up in the feet and hands, most often the toes, and can be characterized by an intense burning, almost like someone crushing the tips of your toes in some cases.
Dr. Aaron Shapiro and his team at Integrity Health also teach, “a simple home therapy that is used by some of the largest specialty hospitals in the country to treat certain types of neuropathies,” Integrity Health’s website says.
Integrity Health uses a technology originally developed by NASA, which decreases neuropathy symptoms, and advanced diagnostic testing to help see if your condition is treatable.
Dr. Shapiro can teach you an effective neuropathy treatment, and also inform you of the underlying causes, how it is diagnosed, when it can be successfully treated, and the key to prevention.
“Our office not only specializes in neuropathy treatment, but we also help people with chronic knee pain avoid surgery,” said Dr. Shapiro.
“We do this through non-drug and non-surgical methods. In fact, after doing a knee exam, if we feel a person is a good candidate for our treatment, we include a test treatment,” Dr. Shapiro said. “One hundred percent of the people we can help will feel and see a difference almost immediately.”
“I’ve had fibromyalgia for 22 years and have been to many medical doctors. I have tried many kinds of medications, therapy/exercise, which made it worse,” said one of Integrity’s patients named Sandra in a testimonial. “This program has helped me to relax, sleep better, have less pain, and my tinnitus is gone from my ears. The constipation that I experienced has improved so much with the adjustments and the use of magnesium from Dr. Shapiro.”
Another patient, named Scott, said he was considering back surgery but gave Integrity Health a try as a last resort. “I was considering invasive laser surgery on my back. A friend insisted that I consult with Dr. Shapiro first,” Scott wrote in a testimonial. “After one adjustment I was amazed at the difference I felt! I slept through the night and had immediate results. After completing my care plan, my pain went from a 9 to almost none.”
Integrity Chiropractic Health Center utilizes the The Gonstead System of chiropractic, which focuses on being as specific as possible with the examination and treatment of the patient, addressing only the patient’s root problems and, thus, giving the body a better opportunity to heal. Integrity Chiropractic Health Center also provides chiropractic for kids and invites the whole family to see if the Gonstead System is right for them.
“As Gonstead chiropractors, we take pride in offering the most complete chiropractic resource in the East Valley,” Dr. Shapiro said. “Our willingness to provide information and explain every chiropractic procedure in advance is appreciated by our patients.”
Dr. Shapiro is a native of Mesa. He attended Westwood High School and did his undergraduate work at Mesa Community College before graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1994.
Integrity Chiropractic Health Center can offer sufferers relief, and during the month of February, the practice is offering a neuropathy, spine, or knee exam for $49.
Integrity Chiropractic Health Center is located at 1122 S. Greenfield Road, Suite 102, in Mesa. You can reach the office at (480) 820-9147 or visit the website at integritychiropractic.com.
