ADVANCES IN THERAPEUTIC TECHNOLOGY – GIVING NEW HOPE
Symptoms of Neuropathy:

“If you suffer from pain due to peripheral neuropathy: tingling, numbness, burning, or you can’t even feel your feet, we invite you to call our office and schedule an appointment to learn more about the latest treatment available. An estimated 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a condition caused by damage to the nerves. Whether it’s work, play, or time spent with the family, neuropathy pain ultimately lowers your quality of life by affecting everything that you do. We are here to tell you that there is hope. You can get rid of your pain and get your life back.

We are so confident that we can help you, we are offering a no obligation consultation/evaluation. The only thing you have to lose is your pain.”
*Due to Federal law, some restrictions may apply.
Does Treatment for Neuropathy Pain Have to Involve Prescription Drugs?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Treating a problem by masking the symptoms has never been a viable long term solution. Previous treatment options for peripheral neuropathy have been a small handful of medications. This type of pain relief is temporary. Often these treatments lead to even more health problems, or worse yet—addiction. So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate the pain. Many patients have been frustrated by traditional care, only to find their symptoms getting worse. It is time to look into a solution to your pain that does not involve medication.
There are many symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, which is essentially damage to the peripheral nerve system. Some neuropathy sufferers describe it as wearing an invisible sock, pins and needles, burning pain, or extreme electric-like sensitivity to touch. Others report the sensation of walking on broken glass or thumbtacks.
Neuropathy May Contribute to Emotional Stress and Depression.
Many people suffering with pain don’t realize that the symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy. It is a condition that can be misdiagnosed or ignored until it is unbearable. This can affect all aspects of your life and may even cause emotional stress or depression.
The Solution: Non-Surgical, Lasting Neuropathy Pain Treatment
At Albrecht Chiropractic and West Michigan Spinal Decompression we have developed a drug-free program utilizing multiple therapies to relieve your symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. The foundation of this highly successful treatment regimen is Light therapy called HealthLight. The HealthLight device consists of boot and calf pads that contain more than 250 red and infrared diodes. Light energy from the diodes increases circulation, speeds up cellular energy production, and draws water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area. Treatments are painless and gentle as the light is absorbed by the cells beneath the skin.
Peripheral Neuropathy Explained
Peripheral Neuropathy occurs when nerves in the extremities are damaged or destroyed. Like static on a telephone line, this interrupts the normal communication between the brain and the skin, muscles and other parts of the body. This condition predominantly affects the peripheral limbs (legs, feet, arms, and hands).
Diabetes is one potential cause of peripheral neuropathy, as uncontrolled sugar levels can damage your nerves. Some other causes of neuropathy may include: reduced blood flow, hereditary disorders, inflammation, vitamin deficiencies, and certain medications.

- Dr. Darl D. Albrecht - Dr. Seth Albrecht
This creates an optimal environment that helps reduce pain, inflammation, burning, tingling and numbness, and actually improves the ability to feel sensations.
The Whole Program
In addition to the HealthLight, our program also incorporates several other modalities to improve nerve function, some of which include vibration therapy, balance training, and soft tissue mobilization. We also utilize nutritional support, when necessary, to help address vitamin deficiencies and improve circulation. With this multi faceted approach, we are able to customize the program to your individual needs and achieve the most effective results in relieving your symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Not All Neuropathy Treatments Are Created Equal.
There are many types of neuropathy treatments available today. Do not confuse this treatment with a common TENS device that is designed to temporarily block nerve signals. In fact, it is just the opposite – it works to improve nerve function.
Are You a Candidate for our Peripheral Neuropathy Program?
Patients come to us with all types of peripheral neuropathy. The potential causes are many and sometimes there is no clear risk factor for neuropathy. Regardless, our first step is to evaluate your specific case to determine if it is a type of peripheral neuropathy we can help. If so, the prognosis is generally favorable and treatment time is predictable. Your neuropathy pain may be significantly reduced or possibly eliminated without serious side effects or potential dependency on medication in as little as six weeks.
No Obligation Visit
At Albrecht Chiropractic and West Michigan Spinal Decompression, we are committed to getting you well and putting your life back on track again. So that you can learn more about our facility and our technically advanced procedures, we are offering a no obligation consultation and evaluation. Call today to schedule an appointment to see if you are a candidate for this procedure. We look forward to meeting you! - Dr. Darl D. Albrecht - Dr. Seth Albrecht.
NEUROPATHY FACTS
• More than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy have been identified, each with its own symptoms and prognosis. • Peripheral neuropathy may be either inherited or acquired through disease processes or trauma. In many cases, however, a specific cause cannot be identified.
• Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate axons, as long as the nerve cell itself has not died. Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Emily GELBAUGH AGE 42 - PLAINWELL, MI
Bella...is a good mix of
ADOPTABLE Pets of the Week! playful, affectionate and chill! She LOVES playing tug! Bella also enjoys going on walks where she can roll in the grass or climb up on fallen tree trunks. And once she is done getting some exercise, she is more than happy to get loved up and relax. Bella's ideal forever home would be a quieter home with a fun family that is looking for a special pup to join their pack. Bella was surrendered to the shelter as a very pregnant momma. She delivered 8 beautiful puppies, and took great care of them. All her puppies were adopted into wonderful homes. Let's get this awesome momma a home of her own too! Bella is a little over 2.5 years old and weighs approximately 45 pounds. She could join a home with another dog. A mellow dog that wants a buddy to hang out with would be awesome. Bella has shown interest in chasing cats, so a cat free home may be best, however if your home has dog-savvy cats and there is a slow introduction to cats, she may also be a good fit for your home. It is recommended that any children in her home are 12 years old and up. Bella is a Shar pei mix. If you would like to meet her, please fill out an adoption application at:

Lynn Marcy, from Otsego, MI, and formerly of Dearborn, MI, died peacefully on March 5 th in Richland, MI. He was born in Crystal, MI on October 1, 1930. Together with his sister, Ruth, Lynn was raised in Crystal, MI. Preceding him in death were his parents, Luke and Mabel, Ruth and her husband Wayne Sell, sister Helen, and brother Dean. On June 20, 1953, Lynn was united in marriage to Sally A. Davarn, who also preceded him in death. Their union was blessed with three children. Daughter Amy Rogers (Stephen) of Leesburg, VA; Son Kevin Marcy (Susan) of Plainwell, MI; and daughter Julie Marcy of Dearborn. He is also survived by his son, Tim DeVoogd of Ithaca, NY.

They have 7 great grandchildren: Amelia and Gillian Rogers; Zara and Frances Marcy; Jackson and Reid Winclechter; and Luca Lynn Hultquist. In 1951, Lynn left college at UM to serve 4 years in the USAF until 1955, reaching the rank of Tech Sergeant at the time of his honorable discharge. He was assigned as a Special Agent to the Office of Special Investigations. It was during this time that Lynn was introduced to the Polygraph Science. Following discharge, and a BS in Police Administration at MSU, Lynn was trained as a polygraph examiner at The Keeler Polygraph Institute (Chicago), and subsequently hired there as a polygraph examiner in 1956. This began his 60 year career in the field of Polygraph Science.

He was a Charter Member (1964) of the Michigan Association of Polygraph Examiners, and served 4 terms in the office of President. He was a Charter Member (1966) of the American Polygraph Association, and served 2 terms in the office of President. In the early 70’s Lynn worked with the Michigan State Legislature to introduce and enact a State Licensing Law for polygraph examiners. In 1972, he was appointed by Governor Milliken to serve as the first Director of the State Licensing Board of Forensic Polygraph Examiners. In gratitude for his efforts, his fellow Board members voted that he should receive Polygraph Examiner License number 00001. Throughout his career, Lynn was qualified as an Expert Witness on Polygraph Science and Technique in nine Federal Courts; and 18 State Courts. He stopped counting the number of polygraph examinations conducted when he reached 10,000 some 20 years before he finished his career. Driven to always learn and improve, Lynn completed a Masters in Guidance and Counseling from EMU a few months before his 50th birthday. While Lynn often referred to passion for his polygraph career as a “jealous mistress”, he still managed to raise a family together with the one true love of his life, Sally. Regular family vacations to the Traverse City area; hunting and fishing trips with children and grandchildren, and attending school functions or sporting events provided the joy of being a parent and grandparent. In 1990, Lynn and Sally bought a condo on East Grand Traverse Bay, and enjoyed time with each other there 2 or more times each year: For the Spring blossoming of the cherry trees; and the Fall color display of the Michigan hardwoods. They enjoyed their favorite restaurants, and drives around the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas, maybe stopping every now & then to pick morel mushrooms. Ask Lynn what his favorite game was, and he would tell you cribbage. Whether with friends or family members, the competition was always serious. His favorite sports to watch were Major League Baseball, and NCAA Basketball. Luckily, each of these sport season’s ended right about the time that the other one started. Lynn’s 91 years were active, full and vibrant. In recent months, he often remarked how very good God had been to him, a life filled with so many rich blessings. He looked forwarded to being reunited with Sally, and chose these words for his headstone: Wed 1953 Together Forever His interment will be at Fort Custer National Cemetery. Any donations can be made to Wings of Hope Hospice, Allegan, MI; or to St. Anselm Catholic School, Dearborn Heights, MI The family will receive visitors Tuesday March 15 from 2-4 PM and 6-8 PM at Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego, MI. At 7:15 PM visitors will be invited to share any words of remembrance. Mass of Christian Burial will be at St. Margaret Church, Otsego, MI on Wednesday March 16th, 11:00 AM.

One of the amazing truths about our Lord is how He stayed the course, especially during the last days of His life on earth. He faced life with steady eyes. His love was extravagant. His commitment to doing the will of His Heavenly Father was unswerving. His determination was relentless. His friends deserted Him. His enemies tormented Him. Yet He forgave them all and “for the joy set before him He endured the cross scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
The Book of Hebrews (New Testament) was written to lift up the supremacy of Christ and encourage believers who were being persecuted for their faith. Living on this side of the cross and resurrection we have the advantage of learning from Him and from them. Takeaways:
1. GET RID OF ANYTHING THAT GETS IN THE WAY OF GOD’S BEST FOR YOUR LIFE. In Hebrews 12:1 we read, “… let us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles...” What needless burden is weighing you down? Negative attitude? Secret sin? Self-pity? Selfish pride? Selfdefeating behaviors? Whatever they may be, give them to Christ and run your race. 2. PERSEVERANCE.
Continuing with Hebrews 12:1 “… and let us run with perseverance the race that is marked out for us” (NIV). One of my childhood heroes was Glenn Cunningham who spoke in our high school and in my home church. When he was seven years old, he was burned so badly in a schoolhouse fire that his doctor doubted he would ever walk again. Yet, he was inspired by his father to become a champion long distance runner. In spite of intense pain, he struggled to walk again and eventually to run. He became an Olympian and one of the great long distance runners of his time. Persistence pays. 3. KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.
I love Eugene H. Peterson’s paraphrase of Hebrews 12:2 as follows:
“Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished the race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed – that exhilarating finish in and with God …”
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to face life with steady eyes. In Your strong name. Amen.
