Dr. Kenneth Carle – Chiropractic Physician
Nancy C., a Sarasota resident, had been living with the painful side effects of peripheral neuropathy for years. “My feet and even my legs were extremely painful,” she recalls. “My doctor said there wasn’t anything that could be done—I’d have to take gabapentin for the rest of my life.”
Frustrated and desperate for relief, Nancy stumbled upon an article about Dr. Kenneth Carle and Renewed Life Wellness Center. It turned out to be the lifeline she needed.
Peripheral neuropathy, which affects over 20 million people in the U.S., is caused by nerve damage to the peripheral nervous system. It often results in symptoms like burning, tingling, and numbness in the feet and legs. For many, the condition progresses to balance issues, making daily activities like walking, shopping, or even standing for extended periods nearly impossible.
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a condition characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, especially in the feet and hands. These nerves transmit signals between the body and the central nervous system, controlling movement, sensation, and organ function.
There are over 100 causes of Peripheral Neuropathy; the most common include: Diabetes, Trauma or Injury, and Toxicity-Related Neuropathy. Certain medications used in chemotherapy can cause peripheral neuropathy as a side effect. This can damage the nerves and cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands and feet, which can significantly impact the quality of life. Other drugs, such as statins, can cause neuropathy. Statins reduce the fats that build up in your arteries, but they also reduce the fatty myelin sheath of the nerves, which will cause the nerve to die.
Nancy’s condition was no different. Her feet were so sensitive that wearing shoes became unbearable. “I wore sandals most of the time because it felt like I was walking on tacks,” she says. Nights were especially tough, as the burning and shooting pains in her feet kept her awake.
Like many others with neuropathy, Nancy tried gabapentin. But the medication’s side effects were intolerable, and she stopped taking it after a few months. To make matters worse, it didn’t provide the relief she had hoped for.
Fortunately, her discovery of Renewed Life Wellness Center changed everything. After undergoing their specialized treatments—safe, non-surgical therapies designed to alleviate neuropathy symptoms—Nancy began to see improvements. “Now when I go to bed, I don’t have those shooting pains,” she shares. “The burning and numbness are gone, and I can even wear socks and shoes with little to no problem.”
The treatments, Nancy says, have been “life-changing.” In fact, she insists, “As far as I’m concerned, Dr. Carle and Renewed Life Wellness Center saved my life.”
Dr. Carle is no stranger to stories like Nancy’s. “Unfortunately, many of my patients are told there’s no solution beyond medication,” he explains. At Renewed Life Wellness Center, however, patients benefit from cutting-edge technologies tailored to treat neuropathy and its debilitating effects without relying on drugs or surgery.
Since 2017, Renewed Life Wellness Center has been helping patients find relief and reclaim their lives. The clinic also offers regenerative medicine options, including stem cell treatments, for various conditions.
