When your nerves strike.

It may be hard to believe, but it’s true: Around 15 to 22 million people in Europe are estimated to suffer from polyneuropathy. This manifests itself in varying degrees of pain, numbness and tingling, and is a burden for those affected – especially when the body actually wants to rest.

The causes are diverse and not yet fully understood. Factors such as injuries, inflammation, or underlying illnesses can play a role. Polyneuropathy is typically categorized into central and peripheral types, both of which cause impaired nerve function, resulting in constant pain signals being sent to the brain.

The consequences are often devastating: chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and reduced mobility often lead...

Sleep disorders with restless legs during on-call duty.

1. Nutrition

By far the most valuable and sustainable thing you can do for your body when you have polyneuropathy is to eat the right food. You set the course from the inside out and you'll see what a difference it makes. Here are the most important cornerstones of your diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids:
These anti-inflammatory fatty acids are found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, as well as in flaxseed, chia seeds and walnuts.

Leafy green vegetables:
Spinach, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that are important for nerve health.

Whole grain products:
Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and oats are rich...

2. Yoga

Yoga is certainly one of the healthier and also very successful therapeutic approaches for treating burning feet. Basically, of course, movement is the be-all and end-all – whether it's yoga, swimming, walking or muscle training.

Here are a few points about what regular yoga (or exercise) can do for you.

Stress reduction:Yoga is known for its relaxing effect, which can reduce stress and anxiety. Stress is a known factor that can worsen all kinds of conditions. So by reducing stress, the symptoms of polyneuropathy can also be alleviated.

Improve blood circulation:
Many yoga poses increase blood flow throughout the body. Improved circulation can help soothe inflamed or irritated nerves and reduce pain.

3. Physiotherapy & Acupuncture

Targeted physiotherapy can be highly beneficial in treating polyneuropathy. Specific exercises and techniques – such as stretching and muscle strengthening – help reduce pain and improve functionality. Another advantage is that a professional physiotherapist can use manual therapy to address specific problem areas individually.

Acupressure and acupuncture are traditional treatment methods that can help relieve nerve pain in some patients. Both aim to balance the body’s energy flow, which can contribute to pain relief.

4. Cold therapy

Let's move on to our absolute favourite, because applying cold to polyneuropathy has outstanding effects on the nervous system, which can help to directly alleviate the symptoms.

To understand how this works, it helps to look at the body's physiological responses to cold.

Slowing of nerve conduction velocity:
Cold slows down the speed of transmission of nerve impulses. In the extremities, this can lead to a reduction in unpleasant sensations such as tingling, burning or pain. The nerves are less "reactive", which can lead to a certain calming of the symptoms.

Reduction of the inflammatory response:
Although inflammation is not necessarily a primary factor in polyneuropathy, an accompanying inflammatory response in the legs...
