Self-Care
In addition to over-the-counter pain relievers, many people have found relief for peripheral neuropathy through chiropractic care, acupuncture (the insertion of tiny needles into key areas), massage, meditation, and yoga. Moderate, regular exercise can also help to lessen discomfort.
If you drink alcohol or smoke, consider cutting back or stopping. Both alcohol and tobacco aggravate nerve pain and can cause nerve damage when used for long periods of time.
