Nerves have a special relationship with your blood for many reasons. There are two reasons that stand out:
So if blood is important to nerves, what has the body done to make sure your nerves have enough blood?
When we think of our own fuel (food), we have set up an amazing system to make sure food is there when we need it. For instance, the farmer grows a large amount of food, vegetables or grain and sends the food through trucks or other means of transportation so it can be distributed to various stores. You then purchase the food and take it home where you can store it in cupboards. When you need the food, you can remove it from the cupboards to eat immediately or take it with you to work.
The nerves have an equally amazing network that can both transport and “store” blood for your nerves. How amazing are networks?
Nerves have sensors called the “nervi nervorum,” or nerve of the nerve. These small nerves may sense changes in the nerve environment and give you feelings of “numbness” or “pins and needles”. When we provide treatment at the Neuropathy Therapy Center (NTC), these feelings subside for many of our patients.
Circulation for nerves is extremely important. Please stay tuned for upcoming blog posts to follow as we highlight ways to bring blood back to nerves.
If you’re suffering from nerve pain, our Neuropathic Therapy Center may be able to help using a breakthrough physical therapy treatment called Intraneural Facilitation or INF.™ For more information and to schedule an evaluation, call 909-558-6799 or request information online.
