Neuopathy
is often described as the sensation of "pins and needles"
or burning pain of their hands or feet. In some cases of neuropathy
there is musscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction.
Neuropathy is a condition that often responds well to acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine.
Symptoms of neuropathy
may include:
- numbness or insensitivity
to pain or temperature
- a tingling, burning,
or prickling sensation
- sharp, burning pain
or cramps
- extreme sensitivity
to touch, even a light touch
- loss of balance and
coordination
- muscle weakness
- muscle wasting
- paralysis
These symptoms are often
worse at night.
Traditional Chinese medicine
teaches that neuropathy is due to dampness moving to the limbs,
and obstructing the flow of Qi (energy) and Blood within them.
The treatment is treat the underlying factor that is causing this
dampness to accumulate and to directly facilitate the circulation
of Qi in the affected area. When the circulation has improved,
the nerve tissues of the affected area can be nourished to repair
the nerve functions and reduce pain.
