✨ “When you’ve tried everything else…” ✨
So many of our patients come to us after months — even years — of searching for answers.
They’ve seen specialists. Tried new medications. Got “normal” test results… but still don’t feel normal.
The truth? You don’t have to just live with it.
Acupuncture helps by looking at the whole body — restoring balance, improving circulation, and calming the nervous system so real healing can begin.
💡 Many patients tell us, “I wish I had tried this first.”
You don’t have to wait until it feels like your last resort.

Peripheral Neuropathy happens when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged.
It can cause:
Tingling or burning sensations
Numbness in hands or feet
Sharp, shooting pains
Balance problems
How acupuncture can help:
Acupuncture stimulates blood flow and oxygen to damaged nerves, reduces inflammation, and encourages the body’s natural nerve repair process. Many patients find relief in pain, improved sensation, and better mobility over time.

How does acupuncture actually help nerve pain?
It’s not magic — it’s biology.
Here’s how it works:
🔹 Reduces inflammation
Acupuncture helps your body release natural anti-inflammatory chemicals — easing pressure around irritated nerves.
🔹 Improves circulation
It increases blood flow to damaged areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients that help nerves heal.
🔹 Calms overactive pain signals
It retrains the nervous system and helps release natural painkillers like endorphins — so your brain stops overreacting to pain.
🧠 This is why acupuncture is often effective for conditions like:
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Chronic neck pain
• Chemo-induced nerve pain
You don’t have to keep masking symptoms.
Let’s start working on the root cause.
