Acupuncture for Peripheral Neuropathy
General systems of Peripheral Neuropathy reveal weakness, numbness, paresthesia (abnormal sensation such as burning, tickling, pricking, or tingling) and pain in arms, hands, legs, and /or feet.
How does acupuncture work for Peripheral Neuropathy?
Acupuncture is effective in treating this condition by promoting and inducing the energy and blood circulation to the extremities. By improving the circulation, the nerve tissues of the affected area can be nourished to repair the nerve functions and reduce pain. Herbal therapy may be combined with acupuncture to achieve faster results.
Course of treatment
There are 10-15 acupuncture sessions in one course of treatment. Treatment frequency depends on individual condition. Chinese herbs work synergistically with acupuncture.
