Better Relief for Peripheral Neuropathy in Basalt

Better Relief for Peripheral Neuropathy in Basalt

We know how debilitating the burning, numbness, or tingling from peripheral neuropathy can become. The symptoms start in a subtle way, but if left unaddressed, they can progress to have far reaching effects on daily life. Most commonly, we treat patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), or chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), but sometimes people come to Zelena Medicine without knowing the cause of their symptoms. Our highly targeted acupuncture treatment in Basalt, CO, can help manage these challenging nerve symptoms, regardless of the cause. Our licensed acupuncturist, Martina "Mishe" Skenderova, draws on her extensive hospital experience to offer a clinical yet compassionate approach. Acupuncture not only alleviates the discomfort associated with peripheral neuropathy without medication, it also improves nerve function and stimulates the body's natural repair mechanisms. What does that mean for your daily experience? It means improved balance and finger dexterity, easier sleep, more comfortable walks, safer handling of sharp objects such as your knife, fishing fly, sewing needles, and more enjoyment of paddle boarding, playing guitar, gardening, hiking, and more. We coordinate care with your healthcare providers when needed to ensure a cohesive treatment plan.
