As a Florida-licensed acupuncturist for 16 years, I've seen a lot of neuropathy. Clients have often left a session feeling better, only to experience the same discomforts several days later, or less. But with a new perspective on the neuromusclular complex of hands and feet rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the results are longer lasting.
Most of my neuropathy clients don't suffer from diabetes or the side effects of chemotherapy. What they share are nagging symptoms of accumulated tension, poor circulation and sub-optimal nerve function.
Sound familiar? These are pains that appear all over the body!
Their hands and feet are stiff and swollen. The feet feel tired. Hands are weak. An acupuncture term for this is Qi Stagnation Blood Stasis. This classic condition, which is exactly what it sounds like, is one of the most commonly treated in Traditional Chinee Medicine. Not only Acupuncture, but Gua Sha and Chinese Medical Massage (Tuina) techniques that improve circulation, are ideally-suited for reducing the logjam of poor energy and blood flow that often underlie Neuropathy.
I highly recommend diabetes and chemotherapy patients try this too.
