Does Acupuncture Help Neuropathy?
It treats the nerve's environment, which the pills do not.
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the small nerves furthest from the spine, usually starting in the feet. Whether the cause is diabetes, a medication, low B12 or nothing anyone can name, the story at the nerve is the same: poor circulation, low cellular energy, and misfiring that produces burning and tingling.
Gabapentin and pregabalin quiet the static. For many people they are worth taking. They do not change the environment the nerve lives in. Electroacupuncture does: fine needles along the affected pathways with a gentle current increase local blood flow, engage the nerve fibres directly and calm the misfiring. Laser on the feet raises cellular energy in the tissue the nerves depend on. The two together are the core of what we do for neuropathy, with nutrient point injections where they fit.
Honest expectations: results are best when sensation remains and treatment starts before numbness is complete. Nerves repair slowly, so it takes a consistent series to judge, and we set checkpoints rather than promises. Full neuropathy page.
A Neuropathy Course From Belleview
Built for the drive and for how nerves heal.
Establish the baseline
Dr. Cheshire examines sensation, balance and circulation, reviews your history and medications, and records where the neuropathy stands so later progress is measured against something real.
Two therapies per trip
Electroacupuncture and laser in the same visit, often twice a week at the start. Belleview patients take the 7 AM slot; the sessions are comfortable and most find them relaxing.
Support the terrain
Nerves need raw materials. Where it fits we add targeted supplementation and cellular energy support so the office work holds between visits.
Checkpoint, and the truth
Less burning at night, easier sleep, sensation returning where there was numbness: those are the signs. If they are not appearing, we say so and help you decide what is next.

Is This You, Belleview?
Worth the drive if:
- Your feet burn, tingle or feel like they are wrapped in something.
- Balance has become something you think about.
- You still have some sensation, and want to keep it.
- The medication helps the pain but has not changed the trend.
- You want an honest checkpoint, not an open-ended plan.
Keep your physician in the loop. Diabetes control, B12 and thyroid work-up belong with your doctor, and we coordinate rather than replace. New weakness, a foot wound that will not heal, or sudden numbness need a physician first.
