PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY ACUPUNCTURE IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Adjunct Care for Persistent Numbness, Tingling, and Nerve Pain

Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Options in Scottsdale

Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of peripheral nerves, often causing numbness, tingling, burning pain, or altered sensation. Patients may develop neuropathy related to diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune conditions, or without a clearly identifiable cause.

After medical evaluation, management is often focused on symptom control. Many patients continue to search for additional treatment options for peripheral neuropathy when symptoms persist or interfere with daily life.

At Scottsdale Family Acupuncture, we provide adjunctive acupuncture care for peripheral neuropathy alongside standard medical management.

When Patients Seek Adjunctive Care for Neuropathy

Patients often arrive after:

• Diagnostic workup is complete

• Neuropathy is labeled idiopathic or chronic

• Medications provide partial relief or cause side effects

• Symptoms remain disruptive

Common symptoms include:

• Numbness or tingling in hands or feet

• Burning or electric-like pain

• Sensory loss or hypersensitivity

• Neuropathy associated with diabetes, chemotherapy, or autoimmune disease

Patients frequently seek care when symptoms persist despite ongoing treatment.

How Acupuncture Is Used as Adjunct Care for Neuropathy

Acupuncture is used in addition to medical care, not as a replacement. Adjunctive care may support:

• Peripheral nerve signaling and sensory regulation

• Local circulation in affected areas

• Inflammatory modulation

• Functional support in chronic neuropathy patterns

Patients continue all prescribed medications and physician follow-up. Care is conservative and coordinated within appropriate clinical boundaries.

Timing of Care

Patients may pursue adjunctive care:

• During chronic neuropathy

• When symptoms plateau or progress slowly

• When conservative support is preferred alongside medical care

Care is individualized based on symptom distribution and clinical context.

Safety and Scope

• Acupuncture is provided adjunctively

• Medical treatment is not delayed or replaced

• Patients are screened prior to care

• Patients are referred back if symptoms worsen, new neurological signs appear, or response is atypical
