Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy
A common form of PN called Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy (DSP) may affect both the feet and hands and possibly extend to the lower legs and arm in a typical “stocking and glove” pattern. Typical symptoms that arise may be:
- Numbness. Pins and needles, or a tingling sensation which cause a lack of sensation in the fingers, toes, or extremities.
- Pain: Pain can be burning or sharp and is most commonly found in the feet.
- Sensitivity: Feeling pain or discomfort from something that would not normally cause pain.
- Balance: The loss of balance and coordination. This can be caused by the loss of ability to feel or sense the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
The main causes of the “stocking and glove” type of PN is associated with Diabetes and is said to contribute to 60% of total Peripheral Neuropathy cases in the US. Diabetic neuropathy is caused by high blood sugar levels, elevated blood fat levels, and damage to small blood vessels which supply the nerves, thereby reducing oxygen uptake and nutrient supply. Additional causes of PN can be induced by chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS medications, and “idiopathic” or unknown origination. Other causes for PN exist but make up a much smaller fraction of cases, some of which may be brought on by certain Rx medications such as to lower blood pressure, physical injury or trauma, vitamin or nutritional deficiencies, kidney disease, autoimmune, and related to usually long-term alcohol consumption.
Acupuncture works by stimulating points on the body to improve circulation and blood flow. Acupuncture treatment also balances the body via the central nervous system and releases natural pain killer and anti-inflammatory molecules which help in reducing the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
Acupuncture remains arguably one of the best treatments for PN because of its ability to stimulate the nerves directly. A landmark study published in the European Journal of Neurology stated confidently that “Acupuncture treatment improves nerve condition in peripheral neuropathy”. This study of 192 Peripheral Neuropathy patients over a 1-year period concluded that 76% of patients reported subjective improvement. Additionally, all patients with improvement revealed an improvement with nerve conduction velocities during a nerve conduction study during the 10 week mark.
Another study, from the Journal of Evidenced Based Complementary Alternative Medicine found that acupuncture treatment was more effective for chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropath than that of drug treatment. In this particular study sensory function recovery was significant while the motor function was not so obvious.
The treatment approach with acupuncture for peripheral neuropathy varies based upon individual presentation. On average, most presentations will require between 15-20 sessions to achieve maximum effectiveness and will transition from several sessions a week to just routine maintenance or “booster” treatments.
