Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in Clearwater, FL
A drug-free nerve repair protocol — acupuncture plus ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ — for diabetic, chemo-induced, compressive, and idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.
A calm, coordinated approach
If you already know you have peripheral neuropathy, the question is no longer what it is — it's what actually works. Most patients arrive here after gabapentin, pregabalin, or duloxetine dulled the pain without changing the nerve, and after being told there is nothing else to try.
There is. At Acupuncture of West Florida in Clearwater, Dr. Kim Windschauer, AP, runs a structured neuropathy protocol built around two therapies working together: acupuncture to restore circulation and nerve conduction in the affected limbs, and ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ — frequency-specific microcurrent — to give the damaged nerve tissue the cellular energy it needs to repair.

Our approach
How treatment works
1. Free consult & assessment
Symptom mapping, sensation testing, and a review of your cause and medications — plus an honest estimate of how many sessions you'll need.
2. Acupuncture phase
Targeted point protocols to increase blood flow, modulate pain signaling, and support nerve conduction in the affected limbs.
3. ATP Resonance BioTherapy™
Frequency-specific microcurrent applied to the affected nerves to stimulate cellular ATP production and support regeneration.
4. Root-cause support
Herbal medicine plus blood-sugar, circulation, and nutrition guidance so the nerve stops taking new damage between visits.
5. Re-test and taper
Sensation and pain scores are re-measured; once results hold, visits taper to maintenance rather than continuing indefinitely.
The research
Evidence & guidelines
ASCO and the Society for Integrative Oncology recommend acupuncture as a non-pharmacologic option for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Randomized controlled trials in diabetic peripheral neuropathy report improved nerve conduction velocity and reduced pain scores versus control. The protocol aligns with CDC and FDA guidance prioritizing non-opioid, non-pharmacologic options for chronic pain.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is peripheral neuropathy treated without medication?+
Our protocol pairs acupuncture with ATP Resonance BioTherapy™, a frequency-specific microcurrent therapy. Acupuncture improves circulation and nerve conduction in the affected limbs; the microcurrent supports cellular ATP production so damaged nerve tissue has the energy to repair. Herbal medicine and blood-sugar or circulation coaching address the root driver.
How many treatments will I need for neuropathy?+
Most patients feel a measurable change within 4–6 sessions. Chronic diabetic neuropathy and chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy typically need 8–12 sessions for durable results, sometimes more if the numbness is long-standing. Dr. Kim gives you an honest session estimate at the free consult.
Is this better than gabapentin or Lyrica?+
It is different. Gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine dampen the pain signal but do not repair the nerve, and many patients trade burning for grogginess, weight gain, or brain fog. Our protocol targets the nerve tissue itself. Many patients use it alongside medication first, then taper with their prescribing physician.
Do you treat chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)?+
Yes — it is one of our core specialties. ASCO and the Society for Integrative Oncology endorse acupuncture for CIPN, and we coordinate with oncology teams at Moffitt, AdventHealth, BayCare, and Florida Cancer Specialists so treatment fits your chemotherapy schedule.
What does neuropathy treatment cost, and do you take insurance?+
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 cards are accepted, and we offer package pricing for patients committing to a full neuropathy series.
Is it too late if I've had neuropathy for years?+
Not necessarily, but honesty matters: the more nerve fiber that is still alive, the more function returns. Long-standing numbness improves more slowly than burning pain. Dr. Kim will tell you at the consult what is realistically recoverable rather than selling you a package that cannot deliver.
