All eyes are on the nerves with Peripheral Neuropathy. Makes sense ... the nervous system is letting us down. Unfortunately, the drugs prescribed usually don't work as planned.
Your damaged hands and feet are crying out for better circulation! Healthy nerves need a steady supply of blood.
Various factors lead to Peripheral Neuropathy. The best-known are diabetes and the side effects of chemotherapy. But surprisingly, many people with peripheral neuropathy don't have those issues.
Like many people, they have TENSION, in this case in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones of the feet and hands. Palpate a person with numbness and you'll usually find a pain response!
At Sarasota Neuropathy Acupuncture, we focus on relieving the pain, burning, tingling and numbness BY IMPROVING BLOOD CIRCULATION in those areas.
Just as important is promoting more blood flow into and out of the feet and hands.
Acupuncture and other classic Chinese Medicine tools, such as gua sha and tuina, are used creatively and effectively. Sessions are hands-on and extremely thorough. No stone is left unturned.
The results can be immediate and surprisingly long-lasting, although a series of sessions normally are required for full effect.
Chemotherapy and Diabetes patients are urged to try these techniques as well.
