I have used accupucture quite a number oof times for peripheral neuropathy, not in my feet but legs. After a week or so, my legs fell like they have sandbags wrapped around them; like evrything has collected at the bottom. Accupuncture releasers that heaviness. Yes, it is temporary but I am able to walk out of there and feel like half human. I plan my weeks' activities for the two or three days after treatment as I have more energy and positivity.

When I started the accupuncture treatments, the practioner said yes there could be favorabe outcome but it would take time. He is no longer in practice but I definetly miss it.
And no I didn't have insurance. But I made choices because of how I felt. I understand that might not always be a choice. But if the opportunity arises, try it.

I think the "taking time," is because of the slow rate nerve cells regenerate.
