Fiona: We're talking wellness today. Lighthouse Acupuncture and Wellness Center of
Jupiter is helping patients get their spark back and feel their best. Come take a look inside.
Dr Lisa McCoog, thank you for talking with us today. It's great to meet you.
Dr. Lisa: It's great to meet you Fiona.
Fiona: You've had great success. Over 10 years in the field treating these chronic conditions with acupuncture, right?
Dr. Lisa: Yes! So, I specialize in chronic, complex cases and I particularly specialize in peripheral neuropathy. Now neuropathy is a chronic degenerative, just very devastating condition. It affects about 20 million people in the United States alone and it often affects our seniors. Everyone experiences it a little bit differently. Ssome patients, they'll describe like they're walking on broken glass or rocks, they get sharp stabbing pains in their feet, they’ll get..it almost feels like they've got concrete in their legs, their legs feel heavy, their balance is thrown off… they get numbness and tingling.  I mean it's just really, really devastating. I personally have a 90% success rate with treating peripheral neuropathy…You mentioned we are Lighthouse Acupuncture, but we do a lot more than just acupuncture here and I think that's kind of our like Secret Sauce. It just really addresses the condition from many angles. We can't cure neuropathy, but we can turn back the clock and really help our seniors be able to really enjoy their lives.
Fiona: Yeah, it seems like you take a really holistic approach and treat it at the root cause.
Dr. Lisa: Exactly. It all depends on the patient: they come in, they chat with me, and I customize a treatment plan just for them and what would be appropriate for their condition… they get set up in the treatment rooms… we have nice soothing music playing and they get to basically take a nap.
Fiona: You said most people fall asleep.
Dr. Lisa: Most people fall asleep, yes.
Fiona: So, it has to be relaxing and people always walk out of here feeling refreshed.
Dr. Lisa: Exactly.
Patient April: It has helped tremendously. I had severe foot pain. I was really worried about going on vacation. We were going to a new area and there would be a lot of walking. Actually, in four sessions I was able to go on my trip walk all day. It was amazing the difference that I felt.
Dr. Lisa: So, everybody gets a personalized treatment plan when they come see me.
Fiona: And that's probably why the consultation is so important. How can people get started?
Dr. Lisa: The best way to get started is to call our number. It just starts with a conversation. You'll set up a consultation and you'll come in. You'll chat with me. I'll go over your health history and we'll come up with a treatment plan for you.
Fiona: Well Dr. Lisa, thank you so much for your time today and chatting with us.
Dr. Lisa: Oh, it's been a pleasure.
