From Stuck in a Walker to Scaling Stairs: A Neuropathy Case Study

You never saw John without a cane or walker. He couldn’t take one step on his own, and stairs were impossible.

That was the hardest part of neuropathy for John: he’d never felt so limited in all his life. He constantly encountered spaces he couldn’t access because they didn’t have a ramp. He was always in someone’s way with his bulky walker, and there was nothing he could do about it.

From Stuck in a Walker to Scaling Stairs: A Neuropathy Case Study

You never saw John without a cane or walker. He couldn’t take one step on his own, and stairs were impossible. His lack of balance had led to serious falls that had sent him to the ER more than once, with frightening injuries to his face.

That was the hardest part of neuropathy for John: he’d never felt so limited in all his life. He constantly encountered spaces he couldn’t access because they didn’t have a ramp. He was always in someone’s way with his bulky walker, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Searching for an Elusive Answer

John was adamant about not taking medication. He wanted to fix the problem, not hide it behind a pill. When the VA said he had no hope of ever getting better, John believed them.

One day, his daughter told him about a story she’d seen on “Good Morning Texas” where 360 Neuropathy shared our unique approach to rehabilitating patients with severe neuropathy. John was skeptical at best, but by now, he was willing to try anything.

Back to Walking Within a Few Weeks

At his initial evaluation, John was shocked to discover how much damage had been happening to his nerves, without him even knowing it. Eager to reverse the effects of nerve injury, he committed to following Dr. Matt’s program.

The change was immediate and undeniable. Within three to four weeks, he was already walking again. Regular sessions on the vibration table improved his balance, while electric therapy caused nerves to regrow. Day by day, John could feel his body healing.

Climbing Stairs With Confidence

Now it’s been three months since starting care, and John can hardly believe the results. He hasn’t used a cane or walker in two months and walks up and down stairs with confidence. He can jump back into activities and go where he wants without worrying about mobility.

John has already gained more of his life back than he ever dreamed. Energetic and strong, he can’t wait to see where the next 90 days will take him.
