Acupuncture for Neuropathy:

Acupuncture may help relieve the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy by stimulating the nervous system, improving blood circulation, and promoting the body's natural healing processes.
Many patients experience reduced pain, numbness, tingling, and burning sensations after a course of treatment.

As a general role, 10-15 treatments consider one course of treatment. You can expect a course of treatment to involve getting acupuncture once or twice a week. you should feel some effects within the first 3_5 treatments.
The effects will be cumulative and should start to last longer and longer between treatments.

Are you suffering from pain but are afraid to try acupuncture? 

No worries. we got you covered.
you can try cupping, Gua Sha, or TuiNa treatments to relieve your pain. 

Cupping and Gua Sha bring blood to the surface, just below the skin. Gua sha does this via friction and cupping via suction. This process is called extravasation.

▶️On the other hand, Tui na is a Chinese massage that stimulates the flow of qi to promote balance and harmony within the body using many of the same principles of acupuncture.

how acupuncture relieves pain based on the National Geographic Article:

1. Local Cellular Response:

When an acupuncture needle is inserted and gently moved, it gives the underlying tissue a tiny physical tug. This mild stimulation triggers nearby cells to release natural, pain-soothing chemicals like adenosine, histamine, and serotonin.

2. Nervous System Activation:

The local chemical reaction alerts nearby nerves, which send signals up the spinal cord to the brain. This causes the body to release endorphins—its natural, built-in painkillers—while also helping the brain block out deeper, chronic pain signals.

3. Brain Rewiring:

Brain scans show that regular acupuncture actually changes how the brain handles stress and emotion. It calms down the specific areas of the brain that process physical pain, providing lasting relief for conditions like headaches, arthritis, and back pain.

Do you have sleep issues?
Falling asleep is hard?
Staying asleep is hard? 
So, how does acupuncture help? 

Acupuncture increases nighttime melatonin production and increases the total sleep time. In studies done, those receiving acupuncture fell asleep faster, were less aroused at night, and were less stressed. So what are you waiting for?!

Heart 7 or Shenmen:
> It is located at the medial end of the most distal crease, on the medial aspect of the wrist.

The Anmian point,
> It is an extra point that is located in the depression, at the junction of the skull base and the mastoid process, just below the earlobe. It is a master point for treating insomnia.

Acupuncture or acupressure on this point can help open the gate to relieve the energy blockage for our spirit/mind/emotion.
