Calgary Neuropathy Association

Neuropathy is more than burning and tingling.
It's hidden as a symptom within 100+ different conditions — which means it's often misunderstood, even by the medical community. But here's what we know for sure: with the right support, you can learn to self-manage your symptoms and feel empowered again.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Our community is here to listen, educate, and support you every step of the way.

New Blog Post Alert! We’re excited to share a new post: “The Capsaicin 8% Patch Is Coming to Canada: What It Could Mean for Your Nerve Pain.”

In this blog post, pain relief and pain management are covered. The Capsaicin is a patch that is also called ‘skin plaster’ that contains a high dosage of capsaicin. This procedure needs local anaesthesia paired with the patch on the skin in a specific procedure, and this procedure, as well, has research from large groups of clinical trials and a larger European study called ASCEND. This process helps eliminate rumours about the product and its potential impact. The patch is known to work best with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy symptoms and can drop non-diabetic neuropathic pain for up to a year.

This blog post will feel like a good list of pharmaceutical benefits and impacts if you’re sensitive and looking for FDA and US CORPS approved products that are organic and care for skin sensitivity and skin cells that are sensitively impacted by cancer.
