Acupuncture for Peripheral Neuropathy - Victoria, BC


Relief and Healing for Peripheral Neuropathy


Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves in the body located away from the brain and spinal cord. These nerves play a crucial role in transmitting signals between the body and the brain, but when damaged, they can lead to various challenging symptoms. If you have peripheral neuropathy, you might be worried about how it could limit your ability to keep up with daily activities or how you will cope with the uncomfortable sensations. 

Neuro-acupuncture can help with peripheral neuropathy that is brought on by chemotherapy treatment, diabetes, alcohol, injuries or unknown causes.

Often, when people receive a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy, they are told there is nothing that can be done to treat their condition except to take pain medication. Thankfully, there is something that can help: numerous studies have proven that acupuncture provides pain relief, can restore normal sensations, and even improve nerve conduction while preventing the further progression of neuropathy. Many doctors and neurologists now recommend acupuncture treatment to those with nerve conditions like peripheral neuropathy. 

Peripheral neuropathy can manifest in various ways, depending on the type of nerves affected. Symptoms may include:

  • Numbness
  • Burning, tingling or pressure sensations
  • Sharp or stabbing pain
  • Sensitivity to touch
  • Weakness
  • Loss of balance
  • Muscle tension
  • Changes in sweating patterns
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Digestive, bladder, or bowel changes
  • Blood pressure fluctuations


With its unique blend of traditional acupuncture techniques and modern understanding of the nervous system, neuro-acupuncture precisely targets the affected nerves, providing deep healing in the body. Electrical stimulation is often added to enhance the treatment's effect and provide relief of your symptoms.

Neuro-acupuncture is an effective treatment for managing peripheral neuropathy symptoms by stimulating your body's natural healing ability. Take the first step towards relief and healing by booking your neuro-acupuncture appointment.
