Have you developed numbness in your body? Maybe it’s in the first three fingers of your hand or the middle toes on your foot. You may have numbness on your scalp, face, tailbone, outer legs, or abdomen. Wherever the problem, our numbness acupuncture solution can help.
Why Are You Numb?
Some people know exactly why they have numbness. For example, if you have carpal tunnel syndrome you’ll experience numbness in the thumb, pointer, and middle fingers that gets worse at night. Carpal tunnel comes from an impingement of the median nerve in your wrist. Alternatively, numb toes can come from peripheral neuropathy or a bad flare of sciatic nerve impingement. Another type of numbness pain comes from a condition called post-herpetic neuralgia, which often results after a bout of shingles.
No matter what the cause, acupuncture can help. That’s because our treatments work wonders in healing damaged nerves. Carpal tunnel is median nerve impingement causing numbness and pain in the hand and fingers. Sciatica is sciatic nerve impingement causing numbness and pain down the leg into the feet and toes. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves in the legs and feet causing numbness, burning, and pain. Nerve damage is the common denominator when it comes to numbness pain, and the numbness acupuncture solution is the best way to heal nerve damage.
Mystery Numbness
Other people have no idea why parts of their body are numb. I had a patient recently who had developed numbness in her face. She came to the clinic wanting relief, puzzled about what her condition could be. It ends up she had a very mild case of Bell’s palsy and did not even realize it. That’s another condition affecting the nerves, and acupuncture was able to correct the problem in short order.
Another patient came in complaining of numbness on the outside of his calf. After taking his medical history, we determined this numbness was a lingering side effect of a hip spasm nine months earlier that caused peripheral nerve damage to his lower leg. The hip had healed, but the nerve damage lingered, causing numbness.
Numbness Acupuncture Solution
So how exactly does acupuncture resolve numbness, and what makes the numbness acupuncture solution so effective? I’ve mentioned the connection between nerve damage and numbness, and also acupuncture’s ability to heal the nerves. Let’s take a closer look at the relationship between nerves and acupuncture.
When nerves are damaged, they cause three pain-related symptoms. First, there is the classic nerve pain, presenting as a searing, intense, stabbing sensation running along the pathway of the nerve. Sciatica patients feel this type of pain radiating from their hip, down the leg, to the foot. The second symptom of nerve damage is burning, as felt with peripheral neuropathy patients, most often in the toes and balls of the feet. Finally, nerve damaged manifests as numbness with or without tingling. This type of pain resembles when your foot falls asleep.
Improved Blood Circulation Resolves Numbness
Acupuncture needles, when inserted near a nerve, generate qi and blood circulation that, in turn, promote healing. Nerves are notoriously slow to heal, but acupuncture speeds up healing dramatically. For example, people struggling with post-herpetic neuralgia following a shingles episode will have lingering nerve pain for years. Acupuncture heals those damaged nerves and resolves this type of nerve pain quickly and efficiently.
The acupuncture needles don’t touch the nerves. Their proximity to the damaged nerves prompts the nerves to transform, allowing for healing that would otherwise not happen. Like so many other conditions improved with acupuncture, the exact mechanism for healing is not fully understood. But the results speak for themselves. That’s what makes the numbness acupuncture solution so effective.

What our Clients are Saying
For the past 13 years I suffered from peripheral neuropathy in my calf, ankle and foot. I tried numerous medications, therapy with lights, neuromuscular massages and back decompression. I felt like I had stones under the ball of my foot. After the first couple of sessions with Dr. Mark, feelings returned to my calf, ankle and the “stone like feeling” under the ball of my foot began subsiding. Thanks to Dr. Mark, I am able now to walk without pain and discomfort. The extraordinary care and attentiveness I am receiving from Raleigh Acupuncture in treating my neuropathy is remarkable and I recommend them without reserve!
I’m a semi-professional weight lifter. I never had a problem until my hip went out doing squats. The pain was tremendous, like a sharp nerve pain down the back of my leg into the calf. It had sidelined me for two months while I tried unsuccessfully to work out the pain. Then a buddy suggested acupuncture. He had a similar hip pain and got relief at Raleigh Acupuncture. I went there and got treated. They told me to stop stretching until the injury was healed. I followed their instructions and got half a dozen treatments. The pain started easing after the first few treatments. I continued for another 6 treatments and was totally cured. I was able to get back to lifting with no residual effects of the injury. I’ve recommended this practice to a number of friends since that time and they all have had good experiences.
I have neuropathy that is a burning, tingling pain down my legs and into my feet. The doctor said there was nothing I could do besides pain medicine, since I am diabetic. The meds didn’t help much and made me feel groggy all the time. I tried acupuncture, after seeing a segment on Dr. Oz. I found Raleigh Acupuncture online and liked their website. They had a lot of useful information. The treatments were interesting. They used electric acupuncture on my legs and feet that felt like a tingling massage. They said it
would take a few treatments to start kicking in, and they were right. The burning pain slowly started to recede, and the tingling went away. I was truly amazed to feel such a difference in my legs and feet. I know so many people with neuropathy, and they are afraid to try acupuncture. I think they are crazy not to try it. What a difference not to be in constant pain anymore. I don’t need medication for my legs.
I woke up one morning and started getting these excruciatingly painful shooting electric pains on the left side of my face. My wife took me to the emergency room and they said I had trigeminal neuralgia. They gave me some pain medicine, but a nurse there suggested I try acupuncture. She had this pain once and it was cured by acupuncture. She gave me the name of Raleigh Acupuncture. When I explained the situation they took me in the same day. After just one treatment I started feeling better. They saw me every day for six days, at which point the pain was completely gone. What a life saver. I strongly recommend getting acupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia.
