One of the first comments Drs. Jessica and Joshua Katz hear from new patients is a heartfelt desire to “get back” to their lives. Where productive days being active with children and grandchildren were once the game plan – the pain of peripheral neuropathy stepped in.
The doctors first opened Aligned Health & Wellness in Kernersville in 2007, and the busy practice has now expanded to both Winston-Salem and Burlington, where the two devote their time to improving the daily routines of neuropathy patients who suffer with typical symptoms that can include numbness, tingling, burning, itching, sharp/stabbing pain, throbbing, coldness, heaviness, sensitivity to touch, balance problems and weakness.
Lunch-and-learn educational seminars are one way the doctors spread the word about their non-drug based approach to peripheral neuropathy, with seminars held on most Tuesdays at the Olive Garden located at 170 Hanes Mall Circle in Winston-Salem. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the Aligned Health & Wellness office at 336.600.2477.
A recent, grateful success story, Brenda Ireland discovered Aligned Health & Wellness when she received a card in the mail about one of their educational events.
“I had suffered with neuropathy for about 10 to 12 years without any consistent relief,” shares Brenda. “I experienced pain, numbness and cold and hot sensations – all at one time. I was taking gabapentin twice a day to control the pain, but I am not a fan of taking meds. I was getting nowhere fast, and after hearing about their treatment, I was excited to try it.”
Brenda went for her first evaluation in May of 2023, and from that day forward, has been very dedicated to the process.
“Dr. Jessica and Dr. Joshua were great to work with and were so dedicated to being able to genuinely help with my problem. I was checked on every week for the first 90 days, if not by them personally, from someone in their office. I kept logs, reporting everything related to my improvement and they had only one thing in mind – to see me be free from pain and off the medicine!” she shares.
Missing out on what had previously been a very fulfilling life with family and volunteer work, Brenda had been experiencing pain that meant she couldn’t even sit down to rest. Sitting simply made the pain worse.
“Trying to lie down and sleep at night was impossible. I had been retired for eight years, and I needed to be able to rest and go again the next day!” she adds. “I have a very supportive husband and four grandchildren who I love spending time with, and that had become a struggle.”
Brenda had also loved working outside and volunteering with Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child year round – which she will now be able to finally enjoy pain free!
“I had my last check-up this past week, and after 16 months, I am no longer on any medication. There is no pain – and all that went with it – and I am able to rest, relax and enjoy a new day both physically and mentally! I thank the Lord for His healing power and the abilities he gave Drs. Jessica and Joshua for the healing I have been able to experience!”
