Neuropathy Treatment in Clearwater, FL
Drug-free acupuncture and ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ for diabetic and chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy — a first-line non-pharmacologic option backed by ASCO, SIO, and the CDC.
A calm, coordinated approach
Burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp shooting pain in your feet or hands — peripheral neuropathy quietly rewrites your life. Gabapentin and duloxetine reduce the signal but don't heal the nerve, and many patients trade burning pain for grogginess, weight gain, or brain fog.
At Acupuncture of West Florida in Clearwater, Dr. Kim Windschauer, AP, treats peripheral neuropathy with a coordinated protocol of acupuncture and ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ — a frequency-specific microcurrent therapy that supports nerve repair and circulation. It's a first-line non-pharmacologic option endorsed by ASCO, SIO, and aligned with CDC and FDA opioid-alternative guidance.

Our approach
How treatment works
Acupuncture
Targeted point selection to support nerve conduction, circulation, and pain modulation in the affected limbs.
ATP Resonance BioTherapy™
Frequency-specific microcurrent that stimulates cellular ATP production and supports nerve regeneration.
Herbal & lifestyle support
Herbal medicine, blood-sugar guidance, and circulation support to address root drivers of nerve damage.
Progress tracking
Symptom scores, sensation testing, and function tracked at every visit — we adjust until you feel change.
The research
Evidence & guidelines
ASCO and the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) recommend acupuncture as a non-pharmacologic option for chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy. Randomized trials show improved nerve conduction velocity and reduced pain scores in both diabetic and chemo-induced neuropathy. Aligned with CDC and FDA opioid-alternative guidance.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Where can I get neuropathy treatment near me in Clearwater?+
Acupuncture of West Florida in Clearwater specializes in drug-free peripheral neuropathy care. Patients travel from Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Largo, Palm Harbor, St. Petersburg, and Tampa for our combined acupuncture + ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ protocol.
Can neuropathy really be treated without medication?+
Yes for many patients. Gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine reduce pain signals but do not heal the nerve. Randomized trials and ASCO–SIO guidelines support acupuncture as a first-line non-pharmacologic option — it can measurably improve nerve conduction velocity, not just mask the pain.
How long before I feel a difference?+
Most neuropathy patients feel a measurable change within 4–6 sessions. Chronic diabetic neuropathy and chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) typically need 8–12 sessions for durable results. Dr. Kim gives you an honest estimate at your free consult.
Do you treat chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)?+
Yes — this is one of our core specialties. ASCO and the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) endorse acupuncture for CIPN. We coordinate with oncology teams at Moffitt, AdventHealth, BayCare, and Florida Cancer Specialists.
Do you accept insurance or HSA/FSA?+
We don't take insurance — we're self-pay — but we provide a superbill that some insurance providers will accept for reimbursement. HSA and FSA are accepted. We offer package pricing for patients doing a full neuropathy series.
