Neuropathies
Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation.
Your peripheral nervous system sends information from your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to the rest of your body. The peripheral nerves also send sensory information to the central nervous system.
Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes.( Mayo Clinic)
From Chinese Medicine point of view neuropathies are seen as deficiencies in corresponding channels/meridians. The importance is to find the right underlying cause and correct it accordingly.

How do we treat plantar Neuropathies:
- Japanese Acupuncture – Uses the thorough palpation in order to find neuromuscular lines which are in metabolic deficiencies or distress. Once the pathology is found, very superficial needle insertions are made in order to restore proper flow in these lines.
- Balance method of Dr Tan Acupuncture – uses distal areas (wrists, head etc.) to eliminate the local pain.
- Structural Acupucncture - addresses misalignment between principal anatomical structures , such as: sacrum , iliac bones, spine, neck, scull.
- Electro Acupuncture – helps to improve the proper electrical charge of damaged cells , allowing their healthy regeneration.
- Laser Acupuncture – Nourishes the damaged tissues with red and infrared light, activating cellular activities and intercellular exchange, improving blood and lymph circulation.
- Chinese manual therapy Tuina – Relieves pain by using manual techniques . It uses mobilizations to realign the body. Passive joint movements are used to restore function to muscle and joints.
