When It Reaches The Hands
The feet go first. The hands are the warning that it is spreading.
Does neuropathy treatment work for hands? When the fingers still have sensation, treatment aimed at circulation and nerve stimulation can reduce burning and improve feeling and grip, and because the hands are reached later than the feet they usually have more to work with. That is the honest version.
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the longest nerves first, so it starts in the toes and climbs. By the time the fingertips tingle, the pattern is a glove and a stocking: both hands, both feet, symmetrical. The mechanism is the same at both ends: the tiny vessels feeding the nerve deliver less oxygen and fuel, the fiber misfires, then goes quiet. Diabetes is the most common driver, with some medications, low B12, thyroid problems and alcohol behind many of the rest, and a portion with no cause found.
Treating the hands means treating the whole pattern. Electroacupuncture into the hands and feet, laser on both, B12 at the points, in one visit. Gabapentin quiets the signal and you keep taking it; this aims at the nerve. Full neuropathy page.
How We Treat It
Four tools, hands and feet in the same visit.
Electroacupuncture
Fine needles along the nerve pathways into the hands and feet with a gentle current. More local blood flow, direct engagement of the fibres, less misfiring. How acupuncture works.
Low level laser
Painless light on the hands, feet and lower legs raising cellular energy and micro-circulation. How laser works.
B12 point injections
Vitamin B12 and nerve-support agents at acupuncture points near the affected nerves when needling alone does not hold. Not cortisone. Injection therapy.
Supporting the terrain
Targeted supplementation and cellular energy support where they fit, so the office work holds between visits.
What the trials show: a 2023 review of 25 randomized trials, 1,561 patients with diabetic neuropathy Source: Zhou et al., Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 (25 trials, 1,561 patients), found acupuncture therapies improved pain, with limb needling and point injection strongest, rated low certainty. We use those methods and measure your own response.

- The feet went first and the hands are following.
