Peripheral Neuropathy (PN)Peripheral neuropathy affects over 20 million Americans. While there are excellent treatments available if it is diagnosed and treated promptly, there are many circumstances where treatment is unavailable or involves the risk of damaging side effects. This is where acupuncture can make a serious difference.

Clinical study after clinical study is showing that acupuncture makes a considerable benefit to patient’s with both diabetic and non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This is not limited to but includes those whose neuropathy is associated with diabetes, AIDS, and chemotherapy.

We have witnessed excellent improvement in peripheral neuropathy clients at The Gilbert Clinic. What’s more, acupuncture is a safe modality with few, if any, side effects when practiced by a qualified acupuncturist.
