Diabetes/Neuropathy

Acupuncture does not cure diabetes or neuropathy conditions, but there have been successful and beneficial results in helping patients in many aspects of their health. There are (2) types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is typically diagnosed at a young age, meaning the pancreas does not produce enough hormone insulin. Type 2 diabetes is often common among Americans and is caused by the body cells not responding properly, causing the pancreas to overwork to produce more insulin.   Type of common symptoms patients experience are:  

• Fatigue
• Mood swings
• Numbness or tingling
• Dehydration 
• Frequent urination 
• Blurred vision 
• Weaken immune system 
• Itchy, dry skin or eyes
• Excessive sweating

  However, if there is no control or maintenance of diabetes, the body can damage nerve endings, resulting in developing neuropathy conditions.  Acupuncture is effective for diabetes and neuropathy health issues such as:  

• Reducing pain 
• Regulate sugar levels
• Improved glucose levels
• Help in body weight and mass 
• Balance hormones 
• Improve sleep quality 
• Enhance mobility 
• Reduction in fatty acids 
• Improve insulin resistance 
• Decrease inflammation 
• Improve circulation

  Diabetes and neuropathy are chronic diseases that can be prevented, but patients have seen immediate or partial relief after acupuncture treatments. It is very important to follow treatment plans and treatment frequencies for continual relief.   If you are someone that might be pre-diabetic, have been diagnosed with diabetes, or have been struggling with diabetes for years…Diabetes can be controlled so that it doesn’t control you, try today to begin your healing journey with us!
