How to Heal Your Nerves Naturally

Nerve pain — whether from a pinched nerve, sciatica, or peripheral neuropathy — can severely limit your quality of life. Read on to learn more about your Newmarket chiropractor for nerve pain and what you can do at home for lasting relief.

Here are the top 5 proven supplements to help heal nerves naturally, with a focus on the supplement that leads the charge: Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA).

1. Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): The Nerve-Healing Antioxidant

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a key role in nerve repair, inflammation reduction, and mitochondrial function — the energy generators inside your cells.

How ALA Helps:

• Reduces inflammation at the nerve root
• Repairs damaged nerve tissue
• Improves blood flow to nerves
• Boosts energy inside nerve cells

TIP: Best to take it on an empty stomach for best results. You should expect to see improvement within 4-6 weeks, but it may take up to 6 months for some to notice the benefits. So, stick with it.

Best Dose: 600 mg/twice daily

2. Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

Vitamin B12, especially in its methylcobalamin form, is essential for myelin sheath repair. Low B12 levels are a common cause of nerve pain.

Best Dose: 1000-5000 mcg daily

3. Vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine)

Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that supports nerve conduction and glucose metabolism inside nerves. It works extremely well in combination with ALA and B12.

Best Dose: 300-600 mg/day

4. Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate)

Magnesium helps relax tight muscles, stabilize nerve excitability, and calm irritated nerves. It’s especially helpful if muscle tension is contributing to your nerve compression.

Best Dose: 300-400 mg/day

5. Curcumin (Turmeric Extract)

Curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory compound found in turmeric. It lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to chronic nerve pain.

Best Dose: 500-1000 mg/day (with black pepper extract)

If you’re struggling with a pinched nerve, sciatica, or neuropathy, there is hope — without jumping straight to medications or surgery. Alpha-Lipoic Acid is one of the most powerful natural compounds for restoring nerve health, and when combined with targeted nutrients, it creates an ideal environment for healing.
