After spending a lifetime managing warehouses filled with orthopedic implants—hip and joint replacements—Steven Faherty never imagined he’d one day face his own debilitating condition. But after more than 25 years of working on hard concrete floors, he began experiencing numbness and tingling in his feet so severe that it kept him awake at night.
“I always thought it was just part of aging,” Steven says. “But the pain was relentless, and it started taking away the retirement I had envisioned.”
Originally from Indiana, Steven and his wife moved to Manasota Key to embrace an active coastal lifestyle filled with golf, beach walks, and time with family. Unfortunately, his worsening neuropathy made those simple joys almost impossible.
“I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t walk without discomfort. I was struggling to do the things I loved,” he recalls. “Then my wife saw an advertisement for Dr. Kenneth Carle’s neuropathy program at Renewed Life Wellness Center.”
Skeptical but desperate for a solution, Steven attended one of Dr. Carle’s “Lunch and Learn” seminars, where he was introduced to a comprehensive approach to neuropathy treatment.
“I wasn’t sure how a chiropractor could fix my feet,” Steven admits. “But I decided to listen. Then, after the seminar, I did my own research. Eventually, I attended a one-hour informational session where Dr. Carle and his team laid out a personalized wellness plan for me.”
At first, the commitment seemed daunting. The clinic was a 40-mile drive each way, and the program required two visits per week.
“I almost didn’t do it,” Steven says. “But then I thought—doing nothing wasn’t going to make me better. And that was a future I wasn’t willing to accept.”
His treatment plan began with two weekly visits for one month, later tapering down to once a week, then bi- weekly. Now, he is nearing the completion of his program, with his final evaluation scheduled for May 2025.
“The results have been incredible,” Steven shares. “The numbness and tingling in my feet have improved dramatically. I’ve regained my active lifestyle—playing golf weekly, competing in pickleball matches, and taking long walks on the beach with my wife.”
Part of Steven’s success comes from his at-home regimen, which includes using a vibration machine, an electronic pulse stimulator, and taking targeted supplements.
“If you think a circulation drink sounds crazy, that’s okay,” he laughs. “I assure you, it’s not. The thermography images prove it—my circulation has improved significantly in just three months.”
Looking back, Steven remembers the uncertainty he felt before starting the program.
“I had a knee replacement six years ago, and I thought that was the cause of my foot problems. But after hearing Dr. Carle explain neuropathy, I realized there was hope. That seminar changed everything for me.”
Beyond physical improvements, Steven emphasizes how much his quality of life has changed.
“When your circulation improves, so does your mental health. If you can move, if you can be outside, if you can enjoy time with family—life gets better,” he says. “I didn’t want to spend my retirement in a recliner, watching life pass me by. I wanted to be out living it.”
Now, Steven encourages others to take that first step.
“If you’re dealing with neuropathy, don’t just accept it as your new normal. Go spend an hour with Dr. Carle. Have a bite to eat, do your research, and learn how this program can change your life.”
