FAQ on Peripheral Neuropathy
Answers to your questions regarding acupuncture protocols, nerve regeneration timelines, clinical trials, and healthcare coverage.
Clinical trials and electromyography (EMG) studies indicate that acupuncture can stimulate axonal sprouting and improve nerve conduction velocity (NCV). By reopening micro-vessels feeding starving nerves and inducing Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), acupuncture helps damaged peripheral nerves regain sensory function, provided treatment is initiated before complete irreversible nerve atrophy occurs.
