You feel a tingling, electrical, sometimes sharp, and overall very uncomfortable feeling. Nerve pain can be a concern to live with. Did you know this condition may improve with acupuncture treatment?
This type of pain is usually deeply rooted, and can be brought on by acute stress, bell’s palsy, and shingles, or a chronic medical condition like diabetes. With that said, nerve pain can be resolved with frequent acupuncture treatments.
Often times nerve pain can manifest itself in various areas of the body – from facial nerve pain with bell’s palsy, to the bottom of the soles in the case of diabetes or the rib area with shingles. However, these three conditions all have a commonality – the Liver organ. By performing acupuncture treatments to correct the Liver function, this may result in significant improvements in alleviating nerve pain.
We usually recommend 8-12 treatments depending on the condition. At each session we check the body (abdomen, back, pulse, and tongue) using our diagnostic techniques to gauge how the body is doing, and where the acupuncture treatment needs to take place to provide effective relief.
Palpation of the back
You may notice even during the first session that your condition begins to improve. It is very important that treatments are kept close together (usually spaced apart every 3 days). This amount of time gives the body a chance to respond after the treatment, and after 3 days that is usually when the body is ready for the next treatment.
Acupuncture needles are always brand new, sterilized, disposable, and single use.
As you begin to feel back to your 100% self, we will do a follow up at 3 weeks to 1 month to ensure you are doing well. If you have any questions or would like to book a session you can contact our clinic at 647-985-3838 or book online below. We are located in downtown Toronto, and Vaughan.
