Neuropathy Massage Therapy – Real Relief in the Midlands

If you’re dealing with tingling, numbness, or burning sensations in your hands or feet, you’re probably familiar with neuropathy. It’s a nerve problem that can make everyday tasks feel like a challenge. The good news? A targeted massage can calm the nerves, boost circulation, and reduce the discomfort that comes with neuropathy. At Midlands Therapeutic Massage Services we keep things simple: we listen, we assess, and we use the right techniques to help you feel better fast.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is damage or irritation of the peripheral nerves – the ones that run from your spinal cord out to your limbs. Diabetes, injuries, infections, and even certain meds can trigger it. Common signs include:

• Tingling or “pins and needles” feeling
• Sharp, stabbing pain
• Muscle weakness or loss of balance
• Changes in skin temperature or color

These symptoms often get worse at night, making sleep difficult. While medication can help, many people look for non‑drug options to complement their treatment plan. That’s where massage comes in.

How Massage Helps Neuropathy

Massage works on two fronts: it improves blood flow to the affected area and it relaxes tight muscles that may be pressing on nerves. Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients reach damaged nerves, which can speed up repair. Gentle pressure also triggers the body’s natural pain‑killers, reducing the sharp sensations you might feel.

We use a mix of techniques that are safe for nerve‑related pain. Soft, slow strokes calm the nervous system, while deeper myofascial release loosens scar tissue that can pinch nerves. When you have diabetes‑related neuropathy, we are careful to avoid high‑pressure work that could irritate sensitive skin.

What you can expect in a session: you’ll start with a quick chat about your health history and current symptoms. Then we’ll assess the area, checking for tenderness and range of motion. The massage itself typically lasts 45‑60 minutes, focusing on the legs, feet, or hands depending on where you feel the most trouble.

After the session you’ll often notice a cooler, calmer feeling in the treated area. Some clients report reduced tingling the very next day, while others feel a gradual improvement over a few weeks of regular visits. Consistency is key – a weekly or bi‑weekly schedule gives your nerves time to respond and heal.

Safety is our top priority. If you have open wounds, severe infections, or uncontrolled blood sugar, we’ll adapt the treatment or suggest a different approach. Always let us know about any new meds or health changes before your appointment.
