Neuropathy Treated in Lake Mary with Acupuncture

Neuropathy has many causes.  Some of them are chemotherapy, cancer radiation therapy, diabetes, spinal stenosis to name a few. Acupuncture has been treating with great results neuropathy for decades. Acupuncture helps to remove the excess energy from the area affected (many times it’s the feet and arms) along with releasing the bodies natural morphine response called endorphins. In addition, there has been great promise with the use of the fat soluble vitamin bentothiamin (B1), which can only be ordered by physicians. The NIH (National Institute of Health has allocated millions of dollar to researching the efficacy of the use of Bentothiamin.  Physicians of all types have already seen excellent results in reducing and eliminating the pain from neuropathy.  In addition, Chinese herbs are used to help reduce the nerve inflammation on a cellular level as well.  In Lake Mary, Dr. Sheila L. Scott, Acupuncturist has been treating patients with neuropathy for over a decade with good results.

Neuropathy treated by Acupuncture in Lake Mary, Fl

Our Lake Mary Acupuncture practice has been treating patients who suffer with neuropathy with great results.

According to the Mayo Clinic, peripheral neuropathy, is a result of damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), which often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also affect other areas of your body.

Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes.

People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe the pain as stabbing, burning or tingling. In many cases, symptoms improve, especially if caused by a treatable condition. Some medications can help neuropathy but come with nasty side effects.

An alternative approach to treating peripheral neuropathy may include a combination of the use of Chinese herbs and vitamins to help support nerve function, Acupuncture to help stimulate normal nerve communication, cold laser therapy to help regenerate damaged nerve function. In addition, dietary changes are a must to help the body return to homeostasis. We have found that many diabetics with peripheral neuropathy do not manage their blood glucose levels and some consume alcoholic beverages.
We also test for food sensitivities to determine what foods may be causing excess inflammation in the body thus aggravating neuropathy symptoms. In addition, homeopathic anti-inflammatory trigger point injections are used along with specialized electrical muscle stimulation.
There is hope for reducing the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
