Neuropathy and Acupuncture

Posted by cali22 @cali22, Oct 4 9:16am

Has anyone tried Acupuncture for Neuropathy pain? Results any good?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Mines of pain is gone from my hear-ends to the bottom of my feet, BUT will Acupuncture give my feeling on my right-foot? I wonder… Karen & me is for back and that doc (owner business, but not doctored pros) he can use Acupunchture that, maybe, less feeling in my right-foot. It kills my feeling and could fall-down I want it back!

I have peripheral neuropathy. I got it after chemo. I tried acupuncture for 6 months and did not see any difference. I was praying it would. I have not found anything that really helps. But we are all different . I have had it for over four and a half years. It seems to get worse all the time. I just have the numbness no pain. The only thing that seems to help is excerise. I go to the pool and the gym and take yoga. I hope this helps answer your question.

Hello @jadownard, I'm glad to hear that exercise, going to the gym and pool along with yoga has provided you with some relief from the neuropathy. I thought you might like to scan through some of the other discussions and comments from members that are related to neuropathy from chemo treatments - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=chemo%20neuropathy%20what%20helps.
