Can Acupuncture Help Neuropathy?

[@bballer191]

All these alternative Neuropathy treatments are so expensive 😪. I’m miserable and desperate though. I have neuropathy all over my entire body from a severe spinal cord injury. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. It’s truly awful.

[@gloriaheater4660]

Sad that it's so expensive. Only for the people with $.

Started acupuncture and so far so good...I love it

[@Wdcrabby]

I had interstitial neuralgia... 2 nerves got smashed between my ribs. Then those nerves swelled. It felt like my whole left side was being crushed. It was extremely painful and there was nothing I can do except take painkillers and anti-inflammatories and wait. I went to a chiropractor who offered acupuncture. It gave me so much relief!! I literally felt the pain sensation change based on how and where she placed the needles. Truly amazing experience. Neuralgia isn't neuropathy, but acupuncture definitely works for nerves. Neuropathy is a common issue, from diabetes, after chemo or antibiotic damage, or spinal cord injury. Acupuncture truly does work! And btw, long-term use of high doses of gabapentin negatively affects cognitive function, especially memory.

I am on gabapentin, and I started to feel like my memory was changing. I thought it was just me.

[@robertbarker9377]

My experience with Gabapentin was 600 mg 4 times a day . As a result all of a sudden I completely lost my memory. I thought it was me, it was me taking Gabapentin. I stopped taking Gabapentin completely and my memory has come back completely. There is an addiction associated with Gabapentin and withdrawal symptoms also. And the doctors give it away like candy. I also had strange thoughts of suicide. After reading all the side effects this is to be some of the known side effects of Gabapentin. Beware of these effects upon you I would rather be able to remember then to not remember either way I had neuropathy. I would rather be able to remember always that was really scary

Acupuncture cured my nerve damage in left left after one session it’s was almost a miracle like experience.

[@achrafabid6682]

For how long you’ve had the neuropathy?

[@tadams1009]

My mom can walk again because of acupuncture. Her nerves were damaged because of antibiotics

[@maivang1102]

What about when a doctor cuts your nerves and you can't feel anymore

[@katherinechase3674]

I definitely have cipn. It had been 1 year since I finished chemo. If you have any suggestions for acupuncturists in San Diego, CA I would greatly appreciate it- Many thanks- Katherine :)

Where in Jackson Mississippi can I find Acupuncture.

[@2baddi2]

How many sittings are required to treat peripheral neuropathy?

[@jaredb9523]

Have you tried it yet? Did it help?

[@2baddi2]

Yes i took 10 sessions it did not help at all.

[@ziskokid1]

@Ayesha Khan that's what I'm worried about. Sometimes it's just a cash grab by these clinics.

[@phaedrabandatlanta]

Is it covered by insurance and what does it cost

[@RobertMcMahon-qy1mr]

I just started acupuncture for idiopathic progressive neuropathy I'm not diabetic, have no pain. After two sessions it seems worse. Should I continue with treatment

[@Jnvlogs06]

Is acupuncture can help treat venous insufficiency?

[@seshadrisrinivasan5371]

But what are the points ?

[@MarilynNemeth]

Anyone in Fayetteville NC you can refer to

[@dudejoyce]

Anyome is west palm

[@stephenphillips4984]

So, if up to 24 visits are needed to reduce neuropathy, each visit typically costing in GB about £40-£50, then expect to pay more than £1000.........

[@frankieruiz1555]

Well depends it’s basically free where I’m at I pay 5$ a visit with insurance coverage. But 1000$ for 24 treatments is actually relatively affordable but of course you’re in GB so I can understand why spending any significant amount of money on health care can come as a shock.

[@Wdcrabby]

I saw reduction of neuropathy in one visit. If you deal with neuropathy daily, it's very much worth the 1000.

[@noeybut5041]

YES YES YES!!!!

[@gloriaheater4660]

Who can afford acupuncture a few times a week. Hundreds of dollars. I'm out!

[@rkb6783]

NO !

[@tlu9745]

What does No mean it didn’t work ?
