Neuropathy & Numbness in Chinese Medicine

Neuropathy is a condition where the nerves of the body are damaged or diseased. This leads to pain, tingling or burning sensations and numbness. Do any of the following symptoms sound familiar to you?

  • Tingling or burning sensations in the hands or feet

  • Difficulty walking

  • Dropping things

  • Problems with coordination

  • Loss of sensation or touch

  • Muscle weakness

In many cases, nerve damage does not have to be permanent. With proper treatment, nerves can regain function and healthy sensation.

We understand what you are going through and we want to help!


Our medicine has been used to help people with neuropathy from a whole host of causes including…

  • Diabetic Neuropathy

  • Peripheral Neuropathy

  • Post-Stroke Recovery

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia

  • Post-Herpatic Neuralgia

  • Bells Palsy

  • Macular Degeneration

  • And so many more…



Our treatment process involves finding and treating the root cause of the neuropathy. This is why we have been able to help people when other approaches have failed.

Your body never forgets how to heal itself, it just needs the right support.


The body contains all of the components necessary for healing. Because life can be challenging, these healing mechanisms can get stuck and require help for full resolution to occur. Our medicine specializes in finding the areas where healing is incomplete and gently but powerfully, aiding them to finish the job.

Our course of action to help you:

Initial Assessment & Treatment Plan

We’ll discuss your case, your medical history, and any medications that you’re taking. We’ll help you create goals for the treatment and resolution of your condition.

We’ll assess your condition with the tools that are unique to our medicine. We will explain how we see the difficulty that your body is having and what can be done to intervene. We will strategize with you and come up with a plan to move things forward on the path of healing.

Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

In your office visits, we will utilize the tools we possess to help your body to recover.

With Acupuncture, we can stimulate the pathways of blood flow and fluid circulation. These nutritive resources can supply the nervous system with fresh potency, renewing function, restoring growth and resloving pain.

With Herbal Medicine, we can directly supply the organs with new assets. As organ function increases, the tissues of the body become rich with nutrient density. This allows for a recovery of the nervous system that wasn’t previously possible.

Frequently Asked Questions…

  • People often feel a shift after the very first treatment. Significant results often begin to show after just a few weeks.

  • Results vary, of course. That being said, over 90% of our patients report a significant reduction in numbness, burning pain, and general neuropathy symptoms within a few weeks. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you, we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.

  • The vast majority of patients don’t need long term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way.

  • Absolutely not. We find two or three key leverage points in your diet and work on those. No impossible meal plans or detox diets here.

  • Not at all. The majority of our patients start with herbal medicine and are slowly tapered off to maximize and sustain real healthy functioning.


Testimonials


Charles S. 66 Y/O Diabetic Neuropathy

First of all, this is not something that I normally do. No one has put me up to this. What has transpired in meeting the people at Root and Branch, combined with their knowledge of Chinese herbs and skill at acupuncture, I am a walking testament, just shy of being a living miracle. From the state of poor health that I was in before I met them, to the awesome health I am enjoying now, I am compelled to say something! It is hard to express the immense talent of healing both Travis Cunningham and Travis Kern possess. They are not only remarkably caring people, but their knowledge and skill of acupuncture is amazing! I love to put humor in the equation, so I describe myself to them as “pudding; the proof is in the pudding!”

Five years ago, I could not even walk out to get the mail, due to the neuropathy my feet had succumbed to due to Type 2 Diabetes. I could not get a good night sleep, due to the stinging pain and throbbing in my ankles and feet. Even my hands were were starting to feel the numbness. I am a keyboard player, and my future looked dark, and I was starting to suffer from despair and depression. Today, I am still playing piano, and now I am able to walk up to 2 miles a day! I am in such gratitude! I have a whole new lease on life. They won’t tell you this, but I owe my life to them! So “Thank You” to both of you! This letter of testament, is the least that I can do. They honestly work miracles! If you have some kind of ailment, you owe it to yourself to check it out and give Root and Branch an opportunity to heal you!

Sincerely, Charles Suniga of the music group, “Charles and The Angels”.
