Chinese Medicine

What are the alternative treatments for PN? I am on neurontin for pain and my doctor also has me on 3g/day of folic acid. I am planning on trying acupuncture next. I'm just wondering if there's anything else. Thanks.

While Chinese herbal medicine may be useful for some individuals, in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture tends to give the best results, though these results vary as well. Naturopathic medicine may have suggestions as well, so I would also recommend that you discuss this with our naturopath to get more information.
