Helping people feel their BEST in Howard County for 20 years!
Eventually, Rose was forced to quit her job because the numbness had
started to set in and prevented her from driving.
Fortunately for Rose, she would see an article in Baltimore Sun’s
Best of Howard magazine featuring AIM Acupuncture & Integrative
Medicine of Maryland and the work they were doing to treat peripheral
neuropathy. “I thought it had to be a sham. After so many specialists
told me there was no hope here was this doctor in the magazine
saying she had a 90% success rate in treating neuropathy! I just had to
call and I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am that I did.”
Dr. Kristin Huza, DAC, founder of AIM Maryland, says that cases like
Rose’s are incredibly common. “Almost all of my neuropathy patients
have been told at one point or another that there is no hope.
I like to think I specialize in offering hope.”
“The Most Magical Moment”
“It’s as though I’m stepping from razor blade to razor blade.”
“It feels like my feet are under attack by fire ants.”
“Like I’m walking on wet paint with rolled up socks.”
And you’re in this kind of pain all the time.
“It’s relentless, keeping you up at night and preventing you from doing
even the most mundane tasks. Things that I used to take for granted,
like wearing shoes and going grocery shopping. Two of my three
children were getting married last year and I wasn’t even sure I was
going to be able to attend their weddings,” shares Rose W.
To quote the New York Times, “Chinese medicine proves itself where
Western medicine fails.”
“Acupuncture has been treating complicated, chronic conditions like
neuropathy for thousands of years,” shares Dr. Huza. “I start with a
foundation based on this time-tested science and my two decades
of clinical experience. I then tailor treatments based on a number of
factors including the severity of your neuropathy, how long you’ve
had it, whether or not there are any underlying factors, things of that
nature. It’s because of these personalized treatment programs that
we’re seeing such incredible results!”
Four months after treatment, Rose is back at work and thriving. “Being
back at work isn’t even the most exciting part,” exclaims Rose. “Not
only was I able to attend my son’s wedding, but I could walk down the
aisle! It was the most magical moment and I have Dr. Huza to thank for
it. To think, I might’ve missed that.” Rose held back tears.
Rose was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in 2015, a
degenerative condition affecting almost 5% of people over the age
of 55.
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with peripheral
neuropathy, regardless of its cause, it’s time to call
Dr. Huza and the staff at AIM Maryland.
“My doctor sat me down and said, ‘Rose I’m so sorry to tell you this,
but you have peripheral neuropathy. I’m going to prescribe you
gabapentin to manage the discomfort but overall, neuropathy is
untreatable.’ My first thought was, ‘we can cure cancer but you can’t
stop my feet from hurting?’ It felt like a cruel joke.”

While neuropathy can be caused by a number of things including
diabetes and chemotherapy, over 23% of neuropathy cases are
classified as idiopathic. In layman’s terms, the cause is unknown. This
was the case with Rose. “Basically every question I had was met with
an ‘I don’t know.’ It was depressing to say the least.”
AIM Maryland is now accepting new patients.
