Holistic Ayurvedic Management of Peripheral Neuropathy - Restoring Nerve Function, Sensation & Mobility
Ayurvedic nerve regeneration therapy for numbness, tingling, and burning in hands and feet.
Peripheral Neuropathy — Overview & Ayurvedic Understanding
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to peripheral nerves causing numbness, tingling, burning, and sometimes weakness — commonly in the feet. Common causes include diabetes, chemotherapy, B12 deficiency, and autoimmune conditions.
Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy
Numbness or tingling in feet (stocking distribution)
Burning or electric-shock sensations
Reduced vibration/position sense
Muscle weakness in feet
Falls risk
Foot ulcers in diabetics
Causes & Risk Factors for Peripheral Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy (most common)
Chemotherapy-induced
B12/folate deficiency
Autoimmune (GBS, CIDP)
Alcohol-related
Idiopathic
How We Diagnose Peripheral Neuropathy
Nerve-conduction studies (NCV). Review of diabetic control (HbA1c), B12, thyroid. Ayurvedic Vata-Pitta assessment. Sensory and motor examination.
Peripheral Neuropathy — Surgery vs Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Treatment
Why Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Treatment Works for Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy responds well to Ayurvedic care, targeted herbal therapies, appropriate Ayurvedic therapies, and internal Rasayanas for nerve regeneration.
When Surgery Is the Right Path
Rarely surgical. Occasional decompression for focal entrapment neuropathies.
We maintain transparent referral relationships with leading orthopaedic and specialist surgeons.

WhatsApp for Help Choosing →After an initial consultation, the physician advises the right pathway for you. Some conditions can be supported with outpatient medicines and home guidance, while many neurological conditions respond best to structured visiting therapy or an inpatient rehabilitation programme.
Treatment cost
We do not publish a price for peripheral neuropathy treatment, and that is deliberate. AVN Arogya does not use fixed protocols — the treating physician designs each programme individually, and it is that protocol which determines the cost.
It is only at the end of your consultation that the physician can say which kind of care you actually need:
- Outpatient — medicines to take at home, with review visits. The least involved option, and for many people it is enough.
- Visiting therapy — you come in for therapy sessions over a period and return home the same day.
- Inpatient admission — you stay with us for intensive daily therapy. Here the estimate also depends on the duration the physician recommends and the room category you choose.
Once those are decided we give you a written estimate for your own plan, including what your insurance is likely to cover. Quoting a figure before the assessment would mean quoting one that may not apply to you.

Peripheral Neuropathy — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, many health insurance policies cover inpatient Ayurvedic treatment under the AYUSH benefit, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. The extent of coverage—including eligible treatments, room rent limits, waiting periods, and exclusions—varies from one insurance provider and policy to another. As coverage is policy-specific, we recommend that you check with your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy includes AYUSH benefits and whether your proposed treatment is eligible for coverage. AVN Arogya is NABH-accredited and empanelled with most major insurance companies and TPAs, enabling eligible patients to avail cashless treatment or reimbursement assistance, subject to insurance approval.

Yes. AVN Arogya provides the necessary supporting documents to help international patients apply for a Health Visa. Based on the treating doctor's recommendation, we can issue an Invitation Letter stating the medical condition, the need for inpatient treatment, and the recommended duration of stay at the hospital. This letter can be used to support your health visa application. Where required, we can also generate the Invitation Letter through the FRRO portal as per the applicable guidelines. To prepare the invitation letter, patients are required to provide a copy of their passport and other relevant details requested by our team. For assistance with health visa documentation or to request an invitation letter, please contact our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220. Our team will guide you through the documentation and application process.
We understand this conversation can be difficult. A few approaches that work: (1) Start with a telemedicine consultation — hearing from a qualified physician is more convincing than a website, (2) Share specific case outcomes for their condition (we can provide references), (3) Emphasise that we work WITH their existing doctors, not against them, (4) Reassure them that they won't be asked to stop current medicines, (5) If they're hesitant about travel, our visiting specialists at 6 clinics across 6 cities may be closer. Our care coordinators are experienced at having these conversations with families.
Consultation fees are ₹150 for a phone (tele) consultation with a Physician or Senior Physician, ₹300 for an in-person consultation and for a review with a Senior Consultant Physician, and ₹500 for a video consultation with a Senior Consultant Physician. First-time patients pay a one-time registration fee of ₹50 in addition, except for phone consultations. OP therapy packages are quoted separately, based on the treatment plan your physician recommends after the consultation. We provide a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins — no surprises.
