Acupuncture for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)

We love when studies demonstrate the results we can have with acupuncture treatment  in our daily practice. This study is about the effectiveness of acupuncture to treat neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. We have seen very impressive recoveries in our practice over the years!

From the article:

“Among patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), acupuncture enhanced structural regeneration of the sural nerve, according to study findings published in the journal Phytomedicine.

Chemotherapeutic agents cause cellular and DNA damage and inflammation which evoke peripheral nerve degeneration and small fiber neuropathy. Previous research has indicated that acupuncture may be beneficial among patients with neuropathy.”
