Peripheral Neuropathy — Classical Chinese Medicine Support Across Multiple Causes

Peripheral neuropathy encompasses conditions affecting peripheral nerves — producing numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, or autonomic dysfunction depending on which nerves are affected. Causes are numerous — diabetes, chemotherapy, vitamin B12 deficiency, autoimmune, inflammatory, infectious, toxic, hereditary, idiopathic. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) provides supportive treatment alongside neurological assessment and management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes should be checked?

Comprehensive work-up — glucose, B12, thyroid, renal, liver, protein electrophoresis for MGUS, autoimmune markers, additional tests based on pattern. Family history matters.

Can classical treatment restore nerve function?

Where nerve damage is established, restoration is limited. Classical work helps pain, supports function, and addresses constitutional factors. Prevention of progression possible with addressing underlying cause.

Does acupuncture help?

Yes — evidence for painful neuropathy particularly.

How long until improvement?

Variable — depends heavily on cause and chronicity. Pain improvement 6–12 weeks; sensory/motor recovery slower. —
