Nerve Damage

How Does Acupuncture Help with Nerve Pain?

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in your body to improve nerve function. When tiny needles are placed along nerve pathways, they prompt your body to release natural chemicals like endorphins, which help reduce pain and inflammation. Think of it as nudging your body to fight back against the symptoms of nerve damage—it’s all about creating a shift toward healing.

The beauty of acupuncture is that it’s not just masking the pain. It’s helping the nerves reconnect and recover. Curious to know if it might help you?

Can Acupuncture Help Neuropathy Symptoms?

Absolutely. Peripheral neuropathy, often caused by diabetes or chemotherapy, can result in burning, tingling, or numbness. Acupuncture targets these symptoms by enhancing blood flow to affected areas, improving circulation, and encouraging nerves to regain sensitivity.

At Newport Wellness Group, our tailored approach means we focus on what’s actually going on inside your body—not just treating the symptoms but tackling the underlying issues. Imagine being able to feel your feet again or finally getting a break from that constant, annoying tingling sensation. That’s what acupuncture aims to offer.

Can Acupuncture Treat Numbness from Nerve Damage?

Yes. Acupuncture is well-suited to address numbness related to nerve damage. When nerves are compromised, you might feel pins and needles or lose sensation entirely in certain areas. Acupuncture helps improve blood flow to the affected regions and stimulates nerve pathways, effectively jump-starting your body’s natural healing process.

Our approach at Newport Wellness Group is rooted in evidence-based care. By placing needles in targeted locations, we help your nervous system start communicating again—almost like reconnecting broken wires. Many patients find this encourages the return of feeling and improves overall comfort. Imagine slowly regaining the sensation you thought was gone for good—how would that change your day-to-day life?

Is Acupuncture Safe for Treating Nerve Damage?

Yes, acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive way to help alleviate nerve damage. Our practitioners at Newport Wellness Group are skilled in using precise techniques to ensure comfort and safety. Unlike medications, which often come with side effects, acupuncture has few risks when performed by licensed experts.

Dr. Shohre Mehvar, OMD, LAc, and Dr. Shabnam Pourhassani, DACM, LAc, QME, FABORM, are fully credentialed, ensuring that your treatments are in the best hands. Every needle is applied with care, and treatments are designed specifically for your needs.

Does Acupuncture Actually Heal the Nerves or Just Relieve Pain?

This is a crucial question. Acupuncture does more than just provide pain relief. For many patients, it actively encourages nerve regeneration. By stimulating blood flow and promoting a healthy response from your nervous system, acupuncture helps damaged nerves regain function. Think of it as reminding your body how to heal itself—a gentle push in the right direction.

It’s about more than just temporary comfort. It’s about creating conditions for true recovery, so you’re not just feeling better—you’re getting better.
