of our patients report improvement
At Source Acupuncture, 89% of our patients treated for peripheral neuropathy report a noticeable reduction in pain, numbness and/or tingling.* By combining the time-tested science of acupuncture with modern devices like ATP Resonance BioTherapy® — a technology originally developed by NASA — we aim to improve circulation, provide nerves with the nutrients and energy they need to heal and repair, and support the body’s own capacity to repair nerve tissue.

What is peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves — the network that carries signals between your brain, spinal cord, and the rest of your body — become damaged or irritated. The result is often pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or a burning sensation, most commonly in the hands and feet.
Peripheral neuropathy can develop gradually or appear suddenly, and it ranges from mild, occasional tingling to sharp, disabling pain that keeps you up at night and disrupts mobility and daily life. Left untreated, nerve irritation can progress over time and lead to numbness, balance issues, and an increased risk of falling. This is why identifying the right treatment early matters.
A non-invasive, drug-free approach to nerve pain
Many people living with neuropathy are told their only options are prescription medication, injections, or simply managing the symptoms. Source Acupuncture offers another path.
Our approach combines traditional acupuncture with ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, a technology that uses low-level electrical frequencies — first developed by NASA — to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support nerve function. There’s no surgery, no prescription medication, and no downtime. For patients managing diabetes, undergoing chemotherapy, or simply looking to avoid adding another medication to their routine, this offers a new way to address nerve pain directly, without the side effects that often come with pharmaceutical options.
Care built around your nerves, not a generic protocol
Your first visit
We start with a full assessment: your symptom history, where and how the pain shows up, any underlying conditions (like diabetes or a chemotherapy history), and what other treatments you’ve tried. From there, we build a treatment plan specific to your nerves.
Treatment sessions
Sessions typically include acupuncture and ATP Resonance BioTherapy® and run about 35–40 minutes. The number of sessions and length of your plan depend on the severity of your condition and how long you’ve had it — determined at your consultation, not before.
Ongoing support
Neuropathy is never a one-and-done fix. We check in regularly to reassess your symptoms, track progress, and adjust your plan as needed, so your care keeps pace with how your body responds over time.
Types of neuropathy we treat
Peripheral neuropathy has many possible causes, and our treatment works best when it’s tailored to yours. At Source Acupuncture we treat:
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Nerve damage caused by prolonged high blood sugar, most often affecting the feet and legs.
Chemotherapy-induced (CIPN)
Numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet that develops as a side effect of certain chemotherapy drugs.
Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy
Nerve damage with no identifiable cause, even after a thorough medical workup.
Whatever the underlying cause, your treatment plan is built around your specific symptoms, history, and goals.
Real results, in their words.
“After a year of being told nothing could be done, I can feel my feet again. The burning at night is almost gone.”
“Leisha actually listened to everything I’d already tried. I’m walking further and I’ve stopped avoiding the stairs.”
“Drug-free, no side effects, and a plan built around my situation. I only wish I’d found Source sooner.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Peripheral Neuropathy Feel Like?
Most people describe it as numbness, tingling, “pins and needles,” burning, or weakness — usually starting in the feet or hands and sometimes spreading upward. Symptoms are often worse at night or after long periods of sitting or standing.
Can Your Treatments Actually Help Nerve Damage?
Our treatments work by improving blood flow to affected nerves, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the nervous system’s own repair processes.
Is Treatment Painful?
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and typically cause little to no discomfort. Most patients find sessions relaxing rather than painful, and ATP Resonance BioTherapy® is non-invasive and pain-free.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
It depends on how long you’ve had symptoms, the underlying cause, and how your body responds. We’ll give you a realistic estimate after your first assessment and reassess your plan regularly.
Can I Continue Treatment Alongside Chemotherapy or My Current Medications?
Yes. Many of our neuropathy patients are actively managing diabetes or undergoing chemotherapy. We coordinate around your existing care rather than replacing it — always let us know your full medical history and current treatments.
What Is ATP Resonance BioTherapy®?
It’s a therapy that uses specific low-level electrical frequencies, technology originally developed by NASA, to help reduce inflammation and improve circulation and healing. We use it alongside acupuncture for many chronic pain and nerve conditions.
What If My Neuropathy Has No Known Cause?
Idiopathic neuropathy — nerve damage without a clear cause — is common, and it doesn’t rule out treatment. We focus on your symptoms and nerve function directly, rather than needing a confirmed diagnosis to begin.
