Acupuncture promising for peripheral neuropathy

Acupuncture shows promising results for those suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture may help to improve nerve conduction and the World Health Organization (WHO) recognises acupuncture as a useful therapy for neurologic symptoms like peripheral neuropathy. Although an individual may not recover immediately or completely through acupuncture, relief of symptoms can make a difference to patient comfort and quality of life. With time, acupuncture treatments may have a lasting positive impact on peripheral neuropathy (from www.castanet.net).
