Neurological
Foothills Acupuncture: Lakewood Colorado Pain Specialists
Neurological symptoms can manifest in many different ways and may affect sensation, movement, balance, or coordination. Numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, nerve pain, headaches, dizziness, and muscle spasms are just a few examples. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) may help ease these symptoms by supporting circulation, calming the nervous system, reducing pain and tension, and encouraging the body’s natural healing response.

Foothills Acupuncture’s approach to helping to treat neurological conditions.
-
At Foothills Acupuncture, we use acupuncture to support neurological function by encouraging healthy circulation, reducing muscular tension, and supporting normal nerve signaling.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, many neurological symptoms are associated with blockages or stagnation that disrupt the body’s natural flow and balance.
Through carefully selected acupuncture points, treatment may support the body’s healing processes and help reduce symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Acupuncture may be used as a stand-alone therapy or combined with Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, Gua Sha, Tui Na, acupressure, and personalized lifestyle recommendations to provide a more comprehensive approach to neurological care.
-
At Foothills Acupuncture, we often incorporate cupping and Gua Sha as supportive therapies for certain neurological conditions and symptoms.
These treatments can help improve circulation, release muscular and fascial tension, and create a healthier environment around affected tissues and nerves.
This may provide additional support for concerns such as numbness, tingling, neuropathy, nerve-related pain, and muscular tightness.
When appropriate, we combine cupping and Gua Sha with acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies to provide a personalized, comprehensive approach that supports neurological health and the body’s natural healing response.
-
At Foothills Acupuncture, we use Traditional Chinese herbal medicine as an integral, individualized component of neurological care.
Before recommending a formula, we carefully evaluate each patient’s symptoms and health history and review their current medications, supplements, and other therapies to help identify potential interactions and determine an appropriate approach.
Herbal formulas are selected according to the underlying patterns that may contribute to neurological symptoms while supporting healthy circulation, nourishing the body’s tissues, and promoting healthy nervous-system function.
Used independently or alongside acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies, herbal medicine may help address numbness, tingling, nerve-related pain, weakness, and muscular tension while supporting longer-term healing and neurological wellness.
-
At Foothills Acupuncture, we use Tui Na, Chinese medical massage, and targeted acupressure to provide hands-on support for many neurological conditions and symptoms.
These therapies use specialized techniques to mobilize muscles, tendons, and fascia while stimulating acupuncture points and channels.
Treatment may help improve circulation, reduce muscular tension, and support healthy nerve function.
Tui Na and acupressure may be especially beneficial for symptoms such as numbness, tingling, nerve-related pain, muscular weakness, stiffness, and restricted mobility.
When combined with acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies, they provide a personalized and comprehensive approach to supporting neurological health and the body’s natural healing processes.

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses the gentle warmth of burning mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) to support healing and neurological function. The therapeutic heat helps improve circulation, relax muscles, and promote the smooth flow of Qi and Blood throughout the body. Moxibustion is often incorporated into treatment plans for neurological conditions involving numbness, tingling, weakness, neuropathy, chronic pain, and impaired mobility. When combined with acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies, moxibustion provides a gentle yet effective way to support nerve health, encourage the body's natural healing response, and improve overall function.
