Acupuncture & Herbs: Restoring Balance for Tingling Sensations in Beaverton, Oregon
Understanding Tingling Sensations: From Minor Nuisance to Medical Concern
Tingling sensations, often described as pins and needles or prickling, can range from mild annoyances to bothersome disruptions in daily life. While occasional tingling is harmless, persistent or severe cases can signal underlying medical conditions.
Common Causes of Tingling:
- Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamin B12, vitamin B6, or vitamin E can lead to nerve issues and tingling sensations.
- Diabetes: Chronically high blood sugar can damage nerves, causing tingling, numbness, and pain.
- Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can affect nerves and cause tingling.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: Repetitive wrist movements can compress the median nerve, leading to tingling and numbness in the hand.
- Thyroid disorders: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause tingling sensations.
Traditional Asian Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Tingling Relief
Dr. Kihyon Sohn, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in Beaverton, Oregon, employs a holistic approach rooted in Traditional Asian Medicine (TAM) to address tingling sensations. TAM views the body as an interconnected system where imbalances manifest as symptoms, including tingling.
Acupuncture for Tingling Relief:
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (qi). Dr. Sohn tailors acupuncture treatments to address the underlying cause of your tingling, promoting nerve healing and reducing discomfort.
Patient Testimonial:

Herbal Medicine for Tingling Management:
Dr. Sohn may also recommend herbal remedies to complement acupuncture treatments. TAM herbs, like ginseng, astragalus, and rehmannia, possess anti-inflammatory and nerve-protective properties, supporting overall healing and reducing tingling sensations.

Finding the Right Treatment for You: A Collaborative Approach
