Peripheral Neuropathy Reflexology Treatment Symptoms

Peripheral neuropathy sufferers can experience stabbing, jabbing, freezing, sharp shooting or burning pain ranging from mild to intense pain. Symptoms can also include numbness, often in the toes or in the balls of the feet. Tingling, pins and needles and prickling sensations may also occur. Usually, the feet and sometimes hands are affected, and symptoms can spread to the legs, face or other parts of the body. Walking and standing can become uncomfortable, painful and difficult. In cases where numbness has set in, there is also the risk of falling or tripping as the person affected has very little sensation or even none at all in the feet and legs. Peripheral neuropathy can affect sleep as it can cause electrical sensations, tingling, burning or stabbing pain. This causes disrupted sleep and poor-quality sleep as the sufferer wakes through the night in discomfort and pain.​

How does the reflexology treatment work?
Reflexology stimulates the nerve endings in the body, particularly the nerves in the feet and legs. This, combined with improved circulating blood with nutrients and oxygen, helps the nerves of the feet and hands to reconnect through the Central Nervous System to the brain. Reflexology helps to relax the muscles of the feet, hands, and body, which can help reduce the incidence of trapped nerves. Improved circulation helps remove toxins and reduce stagnation resulting from metabolic disease or chemotherapy. Stimulating nerves supplying the feet can help improve blood and lymph circulation and restore energy flow.

What to Expect
Many people will experience an improvement in symptoms and relief after just one treatment. Sometimes, particularly in the first session, the symptoms can worsen for a day or two before things improve. This reaction is more likely to occur in older clients with underlying health conditions, or clients who have had or are having cancer treatments. As with all reflexology treatments, it is common for the bowel to clear out, particularly for anyone suffering from constipation.
Ligaments, tendons and tight muscles will release, and the feet will become much softer and more pliable. Joint mobility also improves, and flexibility returns to feet and ankles. Painful, burning, tingling feet become much less uncomfortable and sore, and often there is increased sensation. Walking, standing, and quality of sleep improve, along with circulation, blood flow, nerve supply and energy levels. Stress, anxiety and tension are also reduced.
