Does Laser Help Neuropathy?
It feeds the nerve instead of quieting it.
Peripheral neuropathy is small nerves starved of circulation and cellular energy, whether the cause is diabetes, a medication or nothing anyone has found. Gabapentin and pregabalin quiet the misfiring. They do not change the environment the nerve lives in.
Low level laser, also called photobiomodulation, sends red and near infrared light into the feet and lower legs where it is absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells. ATP production rises, micro-circulation improves, inflammation falls. That is the environment changing. It is one of the few tools that addresses what is under the symptom, and it is why neuropathy is our most requested use of laser.
Honest expectations: results are best when sensation remains, it takes a consistent series to judge, and we set checkpoints rather than promises. Laser is almost always paired with electroacupuncture along the nerve pathway in the same visit. Full neuropathy page.
A Neuropathy Course From Belleview
Twice a week to start, two therapies per trip.
Baseline
Dr. Cheshire examines sensation, balance and circulation, reviews your medications and any nerve testing, and records where you stand so progress is measured against something real.
Laser plus electroacupuncture, same visit
Ten to fifteen minutes of laser on the feet and lower legs, needling along the nerve pathways. Belleview patients take the 7 AM slot and are home by nine.
Consistent for several weeks
Nerves repair slowly. Often two visits a week at the start, then tapering. Targeted supplements and cellular energy support where they fit, so the office work holds between trips.
Checkpoint
Less burning at night, easier sleep, sensation returning. If the signs are not there, we say so and help you decide what is next.

Is This You, Belleview?
Laser is worth the drive if:
- Your feet burn, tingle or feel wrapped in something.
- You still have some sensation and want to keep it.
- The medication helps the pain but not the trend.
- You want something painless with no downtime.
- You want a checkpoint, not an open-ended plan.
Where we take care. No laser over a known cancerous lesion, the thyroid or a pregnant abdomen, and we review medications for light sensitivity. Diabetes control, B12 and thyroid work-up stay with your physician; we coordinate.
Laser Therapy Cost
How much does laser therapy cost for Belleview patients, and what does insurance cover?
Cost per session
Laser is priced per session, lower as a series, and lower again when combined with an acupuncture visit. The full course is quoted at the free consultation. No travel surcharge.
Insurance
Laser is self pay; insurance does not cover it. The acupuncture half of a neuropathy plan is covered by many insurance plans, and we check yours first.
How many sessions
Neuropathy needs a longer, consistent course than most conditions. We set the number at the exam and judge it at checkpoints rather than running out the clock.
The first 20 minute consultation is free and no referral is needed. Call 352-430-2720. For reference, consumer cost guides put a single acupuncture visit in the United States at roughly $50 to $150, and we quote your own course in writing at the free consultation.

Original Medicare does not cover laser therapy Source: CMS National Coverage Determination 30.3.3. It covers acupuncture only for chronic low back pain of twelve weeks or more, within its visit limits, which matters when laser is paired with needling here.
