Many neuropathy issues, so why so few doctors who know?

I have idiopathic neuropathy in both feet. I tried acupuncture a few years ago, and it did not help at all. I'm in Colorado too. Can you tell me where you went for acupuncture? I don't know if this forum lets you give references.
I suspect that the efficacy of acupuncture depends a lot on the skill and experience of the practitioner. A skilled and experienced practitioner vs. someone who went to Bob's Acupuncture School for a 10-day course.

@cwloeffler I have the same diagnosis that you've been given, and I've talked to my doctor about acupuncture more than once. He's always told me that at best it's temporary, along with not being covered by our medical insurance.
Good luck.

@cwloeffler I have several friends who are qualified and help but my weekly treatments are at the Boulder cancer center. They have a price reduced acupuncture clinic in the center itself at Boulder main hospital cancer clinic
