“She Helped Me So Much.”
Concord resident Sarah S. had been experiencing the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. “My feet and legs felt numb and I wasn’t able to do the things I wanted to, like playing with my kids or walking our dogs. I needed to find something to try and fix that.” Then she met Concord’s very own Dr. Kristen Markwith, Licensed Acupuncturist, Doctor of Acupuncture.
We specialize in difficult to treat cases and chronic conditions ~ autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, and peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral Neuropathy is the pain, discomfort and numbness caused by nerve damage of the peripheral nervous system. Chemotherapy and other drugs used to treat cancer can cause peripheral neuropathy.
Sarah was experiencing the burning, numbness, tingling and sharp pains that those suffering with neuropathy often describe. “My legs felt so weak, painful, and numb all at the same time.” Sarah hadn’t been able to do the things she wanted to with her family and was worried to even leave the house.
Unfortunately, Sarah’s story is all too familiar for the over 3 million people in the U.S. suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy.
f you’re unfortunate enough to be facing the same disheartening prognosis, you’re not sleeping at night because of the burning in your feet. You have difficulty walking, shopping or doing any activity for more than 30 minutes because of the pain.
You’re struggling with balance and living in fear that you might fall. Your doctor told you to, ‘just live with the pain’ and you’re taking medications that aren’t working or have uncomfortable side effects.
Fortunately, six months ago Sarah read an article about Dr. Kristen Markwith, Licensed Acupuncturist, Doctor of Acupuncture, and the work she was doing to treat those suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy, without invasive surgeries or medications.
Dr. Kristen Markwith, founder of Trend Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine in Concord, NH., is using the time tested science of Acupuncture and a technology originally developed by NASA that assists in increasing blood flow and expediting recovery and healing to treat the debilitating disease.
“Now when I wake up in the morning, I have the energy to play with my kids. I am not worrying about my legs and feet. I have so much more energy,” Sarah enthusiastically describes life after receiving Kristen’s treatments. “I can play tag with my kids!”
Sarah is now able to enjoy walks with her family and dogs, sometimes she is even able to walk 1-2 miles.
“It’s life altering. As far as I’m concerned Kristen saved my life!”
Dr. Kristen Markwith has been helping the community for over 10 years using the most cutting edge innovative integrative medicine. Specializing in chronic pain cases, specifically those that have been deemed ‘hopeless’ or ‘untreatable,’ she consistently generates unparalleled results.
What was once a missing link in community healthcare is now easily accessible to the residents in and around Concord.
If you’ve missed too many events or memories because of pain or you passed on a walk with your family because you are afraid of your leg weakness, it’s time to call Dr. Kristen Markwith and the staff at Trend.
Dr. Kristen Markwith is once again accepting new patients.
