Numbness to Relief

Take Control of Neuropathy

Neuropathy, a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, can cause discomfort ranging from tingling and numbness to sharp pain and muscle weakness. Conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, but acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) take a holistic approach to address the root causes of neuropathy, offering relief and improving quality of life. At Acupremier Acupuncture, we help patients find lasting solutions to their nerve pain through personalized, natural care.

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy occurs when peripheral nerves are damaged, disrupting their ability to transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body.

Common types include:

  • Diabetic Neuropathy: Nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels.

  • Peripheral Neuropathy: General nerve damage due to injury, infection, or toxins.

  • Chemo-Induced Neuropathy: A side effect of cancer treatments.

    Symptoms often include:

    • Tingling or burning sensations in the hands and feet.

    • Sharp or throbbing pain.

    • Muscle weakness or loss of coordination.

    • Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes.

The TCM Perspective on Neuropathy

In TCM, neuropathy is often linked to Qi and Blood stagnation, as well as deficiencies in the Kidney, Liver, or Spleen meridians. These imbalances disrupt the nourishment of the nerves, leading to pain and dysfunction. External factors, such as wind, cold, or dampness, can also exacerbate symptoms. TCM aims to restore balance and promote the body’s natural healing processes.

Common Causes of Neuropathy

  • Chronic conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases.

  • Nutritional deficiencies, especially in B vitamins.

  • Physical injuries or repetitive stress.

  • Side effects of medications, including chemotherapy.
