Will Acupuncture help nerve pain/ Peripheral neuropathy?πŸ€”

➑️ With peripheral neuropathy, damaged nerves in the peripheral nervous system cause tingling, burning or even a lack of feeling in the hands and feet.
➑️ For patients with peripheral neuropathy, the goal is to re-stimulate damaged nerve fibres and prevent them from dying off; that's where acupuncture can really make a difference.
➑️ According to traditional Chinese medicine, peripheral neuropathy happens when there's a blockage of energy (called qi) and blood in the body.
➑️ If qi and blood don’t flow freely, our cells and tissues don't receive the nourishment they need.

βœ…οΈ Acupuncture is really good at restoring blood flow and stimulating the body's nerve pathways.
βœ…οΈ It can also help with nerve regeneration and preservation.
βœ…οΈ If there has been nerve damage or diminished sensation, acupuncture treatment in these areas re-stimulates those nerve fibres.

▢️ You might need multiple sessions before you notice improvement.
▢️ A typical treatment course consists of 10-12 weekly sessions, followed by maintenance sessions beginning every other week and extending to once every month.

Do you suffer from neck and shoulder pain?😟

▢️ Living with persistent neck, shoulder and upper back pain is exhausting and can reduce the quality of life.
▢️ Work, stress and daily living can affect it, but it’s hard to know what to do to make it go away.

βœ… The neck is the bridge between the head and the body and must be strong enough to support the weight of the head.
βœ… It also needs to be flexible, this flexibility results in some structural weakness of the lower neck, which results in pain, stiffness and degenerative changes.
βœ… The neck is also connected to the upper back and tension in the upper back can impact the neck. It’s important to release contraction in the muscles of the upper back when treating neck pain.
βœ… Another common feature of neck and shoulder pain is mental stress as it can lead to permanently contracted muscles

πŸ‘At Gathered Roots, we use a combination of Gua Sha and acupuncture to identify and treat painful areas on the neck and back.πŸ˜„
To Know more about Gua Sha please review previous posts.πŸ’š

Frozen shoulder is a condition that affects your shoulder joint. It usually involves pain and stiffness that develops gradually, gets worse and then finally goes away.
This can take anywhere from a year to 3 years.πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯
The main symptoms of a frozen shoulder are pain and stiffness that make it difficult or impossible to move it.
There are three phases with a frozen shoulder. Each has its own unique symptoms and timeline.
βœ…1-Freezing stage:
The main symptom is pain (sometimes severe) in the shoulder. It slowly gets worse over time and may hurt more at night.
This can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months.
Also, there is limitation in how far shoulder can move.
βœ…2-Frozen stage:
The pain might get better but stiffness gets worse. Moving the shoulder becomes more difficult and it becomes harder to get through daily activities. This stage can last 4-12 months.
βœ…3-Thawing stage:
The range of motion starts to go back to normal. This can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.😍😍

Acupuncture can help your recovery in every stage of Frozen shoulder.πŸ‘
At Gatheted Roots we can help you to go back to your normal life faster.πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š
