Acupuncture’s Benefit in Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves that can cause chronic pain and numbness in the legs, feet, arms and hands. Neuropathy can affect anyone. You can find neuropathy not only in diabetes, but you can find it in chemotherapy, injuries, debilitating diseases like MS, and even without any known cause.

When most people receive this diagnosis they run to the conventional Western medicines which often have multiple unwanted side effects. It can be frustrating to deal with, but there are alternatives to the unwanted side effects of medication.

Acupuncture has been around for centuries and it has been known to treat neuropathy and many other debilitating diseases. Acupuncture targets the underlying cause of neuropathy by stimulating the specific points on the body that improve energy and blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural processes for healing. It can reduce pain and so many other symptoms that are associated with neuropathy. Acupuncture also helps improve nerve function by stimulating the nerve beds and promoting healthy new nerve growth, which in turn also helps reduce symptoms such as numbness and tingling. This can be seen in short-term and long-term use of acupuncture.

Imagine no more pain and improving the quality of life of somebody that has neuropathy. Many people with neuropathy tend to have issues with sleeping or to have increased stress and anxiety because they fear their health is failing them. Acupuncture is known to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall health.
