A Better Way to Treat PN

Acupuncture & Your
Peripheral Neuropathy​

Whether your PN is related to diabetes, chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS, or has no clear cause at all (idiopathic), acupuncture may offer real relief by improving nerve function and easing pain, tingling, or numbness.

Clinical trials continue to show acupuncture’s effectiveness in reducing the symptoms of PN. By supporting the body’s natural healing processes, acupuncture offers a drug-free approach that targets the root of nerve issues rather than just masking pain.
