“I’m sorry… there’s nothing more we can do.”
That’s what an 89-year-old neuropathy patient was told.
Primary doctor: “You need a specialist.”
Specialist:
“This is something you’ll have to live with forever. We can only manage the symptoms.”
Imagine hearing that at 89.
The burning. The numbness. The fear of falling.
And then being told… this is just your life now.
When they came into my office, I didn’t promise miracles.
I didn’t guarantee results.
I simply said:
👉 “Let’s see if we can optimize the environment so your nerves have a chance.”
Three months later…
📊 64 % improvement on re-exam
🚶♀️ Better balance
🦶 Less numbness
💙 More confidence
At 89 years old.
This is why I will never accept “there’s nothing we can do” as the final answer.
When the body is given the right environment, it can do incredible things—at any age.
✨ Hope matters.
✨ The nervous system matters.
✨ And no one is ever “too old” to improve.
Results vary, but hope should never be taken off the table.
