I had a nearly hour-long exam in which they tested my nerves with small electrical probes. They found that the nerves in my feet were not functioning
properly, and concluded I have peripheral neuropathy
My acupuncturist says he uses old school acupuncture (needles) and some modern methods, including electrical stimulation. He attached wires from an acupuncture needle that caused an electrical charge though my legs. My legs were shaking from being stimulated for twenty minutes., but it was not painful. Once my initial e-stimulation was done, I walked out of the office and was amazed to find my balance was at least 50% better than when I came in to the office. I've gone twice more and repeated the e-stimulation (I heard it called by that term. Nothing has changed since the first time three visits ago, so I'm not sure if this is a permanent or temporary recovery. I'm waiting two weeks before my next acupuncture treatment to see how and if I have improved.
