Case Studies: Kathy Chronic Pain, Weight Loss

weMED helped Kathy, a grandmother, revamp her life by relieving her chronic pain, improving her blood pressure, jumpstarting her weight loss, and giving her the tools to better her overall wellbeing.

When Kathy first visited weMED, she was afraid of becoming trapped in an unhealthy life. She often experienced incapacitating pain in her leg, heel, and neck that prevented her from sleeping, working, and spending time with her grandchildren. A self-professed stress-eater and “Cokeholic,” Kathy was overweight, had high blood pressure, and suffered from acid reflux. She also routinely experienced difficulty falling and staying asleep, low energy, and inflammation throughout her body. She was afraid of ending up disabled and was fed up with facing pain as well as feelings of crankiness and fatigue.

After Kathy underwent her initial consultation and received her customized treatment plan, our weMED doctors alieved a substantial portion of the chronic pain in her heel, leg, and neck. They also empowered her with a plan to lose weight, lower her blood pressure, and eliminate her acid reflux. Once those ailments were under control, weMED restored Kathy’s quality of sleep and energy levels.

Our measurements are on a scale of 1-10, with 1 representing virtually no pain and completely healthy, and 10 representing the worst pain you’ve ever felt or very unhealthy.
