Peripheral neuropathy usally gets treated as a nerve issue, without considering the pivotal role played by blood circulation to those very nerves.
By contrast, I take a blood and Qi-based approach that treats damaged nerves in the hands, feet, wrists and ankles with classic techniques - acupuncture and more - that strongly improve circulation.
"I was told I have neuropathy years ago. Well, Josh has not only given my feelings back in my feet, but I'm also not on medicine for it anymore. All those crazy pains that do come with neuropathy ... all gone."
S. Wolf - Sarasota
"Recently Josh began neuropathy treatments and already I am beginning to walk barefoot again. I haven't been able to do that for years."

This classic diagnosis - essentially poor circulation - helps explain what many peripheral neuropathy sufferers experience.
Although generally associated with diabetes and chemotherapy, many peole with neither condition suffer from it. Instead, tension and poor blood circulation are often the underlying factors in the sub-optimal nerve function of peripheral neuropathy.
Hands and feet hurt. In addition, there's usually a combination of swelling, stiffness and weakness. They're all signs of Qi Stagnation Blood Stasis.
At Sarasota Neuropathy Acupuncture, peripheral neuropathy is addressed like many other ailing parts of the body ... by trusting in the qi and blood promoting aspects of acupuncture, gua sha and tuina.
Of course, diabetes and chemotherapy patients can try this too.
