Neuropathy: There May Be Another Way

What if managing the symptoms isn’t the whole answer?

If you live with neuropathy, you know how frustrating it can be.

The burning.
The tingling.
The numbness.
The sharp, shooting pain.
The weakness or balance problems.

For many people, neuropathy can begin to affect much more than their feet or hands. It can interfere with sleep, mobility, exercise, work, and the activities they once enjoyed.

What Is Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves become damaged or don't function properly. It can have many possible causes, including diabetes, certain medications, injuries, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, and other underlying health issues.

Common symptoms include:

• Numbness or tingling

• Burning or shooting pain

• Increased sensitivity to touch

• Loss of sensation

• Muscle weakness

• Balance difficulties

• Discomfort that interferes with sleep or daily activities

The important question is: What can you do about it?

Beyond Simply Masking the Symptoms

Many people with neuropathy are told that their primary option is medication to manage the discomfort.

Medication can have an important role in managing pain for some people, but simply managing symptoms doesn't necessarily address the factors contributing to nerve dysfunction.

At Blue Ridge Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we believe you deserve to understand your condition and explore your options.

That's why we take a non-invasive, comprehensive approach to neuropathy care.

A Different Approach to Neuropathy

Our program is designed to look beyond the symptom itself and focus on supporting the health and function of the nerves.

Depending on your individual needs, our approach may incorporate therapies designed to:

• Support circulation and blood flow to affected areas

• Stimulate and support damaged nerves

• Support the body's natural healing processes

• Address nutritional factors that may affect nerve health

• Improve balance and mobility

• Provide education and guidance for better long-term nerve health

We begin with a thorough neuropathy assessment to better understand your symptoms, the severity of the condition, and how neuropathy is affecting your everyday life.

No Surgery. No Invasive Procedures.

Our goal is to provide another option for people who are looking for a non-invasive approach to neuropathy care.

Some of the therapies used in our approach can also be continued in the comfort of your own home, giving you the ability to make your care part of your daily routine.

You Don't Have to Simply Live With It

If you've been told to simply "live with" your neuropathy, it may be time to learn more about your options.

Your first step is education.
