This is a sort of "chicken and egg" thing--circulatory problems can be caused or worsened by neuropathy, as the vessels won't get the right signals to move fluids along, and/or circulatory problems can cause neuropathy themselves, as decresed circulation can starve nerves of needed oxygen and nutrients (and keep waste toxins from being eliminated). In fact, many metabolic (i.e., diabetic) and a number of autoimmune (i.e., vascultic) neuropathies are primarily ischemic/circulatory in mechanism. And these can become cyclic--reduced circulation leads to nerve damage leads to more decreased circulation . . .

I do strongly encourage people to move as much as tolerable--the benefits are many, not just circulatory.
