How To Treat And Manage Diabetic Neuropathy

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a component of traditional Chinese medicine where needles are inserted into the patient's skin at certain pressure points across the body. In the views of professionals in Western medicine, acupuncture is known to stimulate the muscles and nerves. This stimulation helps increase a patient's responses to pain and promotes better blood circulation. When the needles are inserted into the pressure points around the individual's body, endorphins are released in the spine, brain, and muscles, which alters the response of the body to pain signals. Acupuncture can improve blood circulation, which is known to help with the natural mechanism of healing damaged nerves. Acupuncture is most often used in conjunction with other methods of treatment as an adjunct therapy.
