Do you experience tingling, numbness, or pain in your hands or feet?
You may have Peripheral Neuropathy.
​
Neuropathy occurs in the feet or hands due to nerve damage. Over time the nerves lose blood
supply due to constriction which causes them to degenerate. As nerve damage
progresses, they start sending abnormal signals to the brain.
​
People with Peripheral Neuropathy describe the pain as stabbing, burning, or tingling.
Some will experience numbness as the nerve damage progresses. Once sensation is lost in the feet,
balance problems start to occur and you may be at risk of falling. If neuropathy is in your hands,
you may experience weakened grip and begin to drop things.
​
Peripheral Neuropathy is a very common and frustrating condition.
Is the numbness or nerve pain keeping you up at night?
Are the symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy preventing you from doing the activities that you once enjoyed?
​
What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is often caused by diabetes but can also occur due
to other reasons, such as injury or genetics. In some cases,
the cause is unknown. Your Doctor may recommend medications
such as Gabapentin or Lyrica but these often provide limited relief.

Peripheral Neuropathy Can Be Treated!
​
Most patients with Peripheral Neuropathy have been told it’s progressive and they must learn to “live with it”.
So we’re here to tell you: Acupuncture is quite simply the best tool for treating Peripheral Neuropathy.
​
Findings published in the peer-reviewed journal Neural Regeneration Research found that acupuncture
promoted the repair of injured lower and upper limb motor nerves for 80% of study participants.
Acupuncture literally regenerates nerves to relieve neuropathic pain and numbness!
​
At Firefly Acupuncture and Wellness, we see these positive results every day.
Effective treatment for Peripheral Neuropathy is one of our most sought after specialties.
​
That’s why we offer Renew Nerve, a comprehensive treatment program combining the science of Acupuncture
with other non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical medical solutions to eliminate neuropathic pain and numbness while
increasing mobility. Our painless treatment modalities stimulate blood vessels for regrowth, in turn providing
the peripheral nerves with proper nutrients to heal and repair.
​
Whether Idiopathic (of unknown cause), Diabetic, or Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN),
our treatment programs offer hope of better days and regaining quality of life.

An initial consultation with Rachal Lohr, L.Ac., is required to find out if you are a candidate for the Renew Nerve program. If you are determined to be a candidate,
we can perform your first procedure the same day.
Quick & Painless
Renew Nerve treatments are quick and painless. You are typically in and out
of the clinic within 30 minutes.
Treatment Course
The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover will vary from person to person. This can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.
The Process
The Renew Nerve treatments are repeated
2-4 times per week until maximum
improvement is achieved. At that time, a maintenance regimen is usually prescribed
to prevent regression. Maintenance may be
as few as 1-2 times per month.
Absence Of Symptoms
The Renew Nerve care program can and often results in a complete absence of Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms, even in severe cases that have been present for years.
