Acupuncture for Neuropathy Gave Me Tremendous Relief
Neuropathy? Do you experience tingling, numbness, or pain in your hands or feet? You may have Neuropathy.
Neuropathy occurs in the feet or hands due to nerve damage. Over time the nerves lose blood supply due to constriction which causes them to degenerate.
As nerve damage progresses, they start sending abnormal signals to the brain. People with neuropathy describe the pain as stabbing, burning, or tingling. Some will experience numbness as the nerve damage progresses, once sensation is lost in the feet, balance problems start and you may be at risk of falling. If it is in your hands, you may experience weakened grip and begin to drop things.
Arthur's Story
Each of our patients starts with an initial consultation during which a sensory exam is performed. This aids in making a proper diagnosis but it helps to define just how much nerve damage has occurred.
This is important because if a patient has suffered more than 95% damage, there is little that we can do to help. That’s why it is so important to seek help if you feel you have these symptoms even if it's only every now and then. Early detection greatly improves your chances of a full recovery. You can live the life you love pain free.
