Healing Nerves Naturally: How Acupuncture Supports Peripheral Neuropathy Relief

Peripheral neuropathy affects millions of people, causing numbness, tingling, burning pain, or weakness, most commonly in the hands and feet. Whether it’s from diabetes, chemotherapy, injury, or unknown causes, living with nerve pain can be frustrating and exhausting. But there’s hope, Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a time-tested approach that may help.

At Aureva Holistics, we specialize in gentle, holistic care, including acupuncture, to help relieve nerve-related discomfort and improve overall quality of life.

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy results from damage to the peripheral nerves—those outside the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms can include:

• Tingling or “pins and needles”

• Burning or shooting pain

• Muscle weakness

• Numbness or poor coordination

• Sensitivity to touch or temperature

  
  

Common causes include:

• Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)

• Chemotherapy (chemo-induced neuropathy)

• Trauma or surgery

• Autoimmune conditions

• Nutritional deficiencies

• Alcohol use or infection

  
  

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and modulate nerve signaling. Here's how it may help:

• Increases blood flow to nourish damaged nerves

• Reduces pain signals by releasing natural endorphins

• Promotes nerve regeneration and healing at the cellular level

• Decreases inflammation associated with chronic nerve damage

• Improves sleep and mood, which are often disrupted by chronic pain

Many patients report noticeable improvements in tingling, pain, and sensitivity after just a few sessions. Ongoing treatments often bring deeper, longer-lasting relief.

Evidence-Based Benefits

Modern research supports acupuncture’s role in managing peripheral neuropathy. Several clinical studies show positive outcomes, particularly for:

• Diabetic neuropathy

• Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy

• Idiopathic nerve pain (unknown cause)

While results vary from person to person, acupuncture offers a low-risk, non-pharmaceutical option worth exploring—especially when other treatments have limited success.

What to Expect at Your Session

At Aureva Holistics, your care begins with a personalized assessment. A typical session may include:

• Acupuncture (with fine, nearly painless needles)

• Cupping or Gua Sha (if needed) to boost circulation

• Lifestyle and nutrition guidance to support healing

Each treatment is tailored to your specific symptoms, constitution, and overall health goals.
