ACUPUNCTURE AND NERVE PAIN
Neuropathy, often experienced as burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting pain, affects millions of people — especially those with diabetes, chemotherapy exposure, or nerve injuries. While medications may provide short-term relief, many patients seek more lasting, natural solutions. Acupuncture has emerged as a powerful, evidence-based therapy to reduce neuropathic symptoms and improve quality of life.
Key Insight:
Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage nerve repair — directly addressing the root causes of neuropathic pain rather than masking the symptoms.
