Neuropathy Treatment Centers of PGH Celebrates Life-ChangING Relief Helped over 5000 Peripheral Neuropathy sufferers since 2013

If you’ve heard or read anything about Neuropathy Treatment Centers of PGH, you know that for Dr. Shawn Richey and his staff, that it’s all about helping you to reclaim your “ING”—dancing, biking, hiking—but sometimes the simpler “INGs” are the ones that make all the difference in a person’s life who is suffering from peripheral neuropathy.

Approximately 30 million

Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy and its debilitating symptoms of painful cramping, burning and tingling, difficulty walking, numbness and even interruption of sleep. Since 2013, Dr. Richey’s program has had a 90% satisfaction rate, and he has seen thousands of patients suffering with peripheral neuropathy who have tried everything including potentially harmful medications and other painful testing and treatments. This can leave patients still struggling and wandering down the long road of endless disappointment. Now patients have hope and are able to have the pain associated with peripheral neuropathy addressed with a successful, non-invasive, painless, drug-free approach that includes the use of light therapy to stimulate tissue repair.

Many of those who received relief from those treatments gathered recently and shared their experiences. Each year Dr. Richey hosts a celebration lunch for his patients getting their life back. This year’s event was held on February 13, at Bravo restaurant in Cranberry Twp., and the words “life-changing” were often used to describe what the treatments have meant to those patients.

Vince M., McCandless

VINCE M., McCandless, had back surgery two years ago, but he was left with burning feet and legs. He tried physical therapy to no avail. When someone suggested seeking help at the Neuropathy Treatment Centers of PGH, he thought why not give it a shot? “It took a while to see improvement, but now I’m 90-100% better. It was life-changing for me. In fact, as I was thinking about coming here today, I realized, at that moment, I had no pain at all!” “The best part,” said Grace, his wife, “is that he enjoys going there.”

Cindy

CINDY P., Beaver County, also had back issues. Fourteen years ago, she had back fusion surgery. The surgery was a success, but she was left with numbness in her feet, cramping, pain, burning and a shocking feeling. “I was told there was nothing that could be done about it. The worst of it was the anxiety attacks centered around sleep. Most time sleep is a relief for pain, but my pain was worse at night.” Cindy started treatment at Neuropathy Treatment Centers of PGH in November 2019 and has already seen vast improvement. “The shocking feeling is gone as is the cramping, and the numbness is almost gone. It’s amazing. It’s been a miracle,” said Cindy who crocheted, read or scanned her phone while being treated. “I’m going to miss going to treatments when I’m done; it’s been such a great experience.”

Linda

Sometimes neuropathy comes out of nowhere. LINDA R., Cranberry Twp., began to experience numbness and a cramping feel in her toes. “Then I had coldness and red striations appear across my toes. My family physician checked me for diabetes, but I was fine,” said Linda. Someone suggested that she consult with Dr. Shawn. “I started treatment in November 2019 and already I’m 60% better. Before when I was driving, I was having difficulty feeling my feet, and that’s frightening. Now, I’m getting relief and resting so much better.”

Rob

Like Linda, ROB S’s pain came out of nowhere. “Idiopathic is what they call it,” said Rob, of Wexford, who experienced excruciating pain, a feeling of scraping on the tops of his feet.

“I’m a designer and the pain began to affect my hands as well.” He learned about Dr. Shawn at a Neuropathy Support Group in Irwin. “My relief varies from 60-90% better, but the best part is I’m now getting new clients. I can work again. I also have been able to golf and grip my clubs without any pain.”

Ray

“I had been praying for relief,” said RAY B., Gibsonia, who has Type 2 diabetes resulting in neuropathy. “I heard Dr. Shawn on the radio and gave him a call.” Ray had numbness in his feet and as a result had trouble keeping his balance. “After the first treatment, I felt a difference. Now, I’m 95-98% better.”

Walt

WALT W., Glenshaw, sought treatment at Neuropathy Treatment Centers after surgery because the post-op drugs were bothering his legs. “It was uncomfortable walking, and after the first visit, I felt improvement, but what really impressed me is that the center is like a family. We all encourage each other.“

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves are damaged or destroyed and can’t send messages to the muscles, skin and other parts of the body. Peripheral nerves go from the brain and spinal cord to the arms, hands, legs and feet. When damage to the nerves takes place, numbness and pain in these areas may occur. A specialized treatment protocol utilizing brand new technologies is available at the Neuropathy Treatment Centers of PGH. It includes the combination of very specific, non-invasive, FDAapproved and painless treatments that are designed to heal rather than just deal with the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

“It’s a blessing to see people come in having difficulty walking and in pain, and then to see them here smiling and doing so much better,” said Dr. Shawn.

Dr. Richey has helped thousands of sufferers of peripheral neuropathy throughout the region, and he has expanded his practice to include Latrobe, Washington and Sewickley/ Wexford. Locations of Neuropathy Treatment Centers of PGH offices are:
