Chemo-Induced Neuropathy
From July 2016 to May 2018, I struggled with neuropathy due to nerve damage, an unfortunate but anticipated side effect from chemotherapy. My feet were numb and night time discomfort prevented a good nights rest. My doctor prescribed gabapentin to treat the neuropathic pain.
In April, 2018, my doctor recommended I contact Lucie, stating other patients suffering from neuropathy found relief and comfort from Lucie's treatments. During my first visit in early May, 2018, I explained my situation, Lucie recommended Myokinesthetic treatments. Lucie explained in easy to understand terms that the Myokinesthetic treatment is a muscle movement technique that balances the posture and re-educates the central nervous system.
We started bi-weekly treatments the first month. It was obvious from day one that Lucie was genuinely focused on providing relief and making a difference. Lucie quickly noticed a lot of spasticity, meaning my muscles were tighter than normal and my inability to control those muscles impacted my balance. Further conversations about my medical history and feelings in my feet revealed that I had muscle issues prior to chemo treatments, and that my recovery process would take a little longer. We switched to weekly treatments month two, then bimonthly treatments the third month. Lucie was quick to share exercises and stretches that I could do at home, even showed my wife how to assist with the process to continue the improvement.
After a few months, I was able to stop the gabapentin, no more night time discomfort. After one year, I had feeling in my feet, from my heel to my toes, confirmed by my doctor after probing my feet with a prickly tool. My mobility and balance are enhanced, enabling me to bike and golf on a regular basis.
Lucie always provided credible advice when I suffered from other ailments, aches or pains resulting from excessive yard work or biking. She is very unselfish, willingly shares her knowledge, nursing and therapists resources to help you. Lucie is one of the most genuine, sincere and helpful health care providers that ever treated me. I'm glad my doctor recommended Lucie. Accordingly I recommend those suffering from neuropathy to contact Lucie.
