Your body is wise.

We help remind it that good blood flow and circulation are more efficient and less painful, and possible again.

Just as we are all individuals, so is the journey to optimal health.

Neuropathy has different cases for different people. Our holistic methods look at the person and the root cause, and we treat the big picture. The goal is always improved circulation, but getting to the bottom of what is causing the problem helps lay the foundation for long term health and pain-free arms and legs. Our techniques remind the body that healing is a more efficient method of operating and that living with a healthy circulatory system takes less energy.

Why our natural neuropathy treatment works so well

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_keep-it-simple_circle

We keep it simple

Complicated doesn’t always mean more sophisticated, or better. Sometimes it’s the simple approach that gets the biggest result. We work to identify the clearest treatments for YOUR pattern of neuropathy and go from there. These treatments may include acupuncture, herbal supplements, and simple, doable lifestyle tweaks to help your circulation, naturally.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_proven-system_circle

We use a proved system that has been treating nerve pain and numbness successfully and naturally for centuries

We work on healing your body, at the deepest levels, with acupuncture, herbal supplements and simple lifestyle recommendations, to show your body the way back into balance. Your body wants to be healthy, balanced, and thriving. We remind it how to get there, and give you simple steps to keep it there.

We get to the root of what is causing your neuropathy

We work on identifying exactly WHY your body is out of balance, and then we simply and steadily bring it back into balance, promoting circulation and nerve health. We are also happy to work with your Western medical team to improve outcomes.

We remind your body how to live in balance

Bodies are wise — they want to be efficient. We identify exactly where the imbalances lie and systematically work to address them. No matter what your neuropathy is caused by, we work to provide natural solutions.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_focus-on-feel_circle

We focus on how you feel, not just lab reports and protocols

We focus on how you FEEL. Your body is not a machine, it is a container for your lovely human self. When you feel vibrant, balanced, and relaxed, health nerve conduction occurs naturally. We treat the whole person, not JUST the numbers.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_lifestyle-recommendations_circle

Our approach always includes simple lifestyle recommendations to promote healthy nerve conditions

We meet each patient where they are at in their health journey, and vie appropriate recommendations based upon that. Sometimes it’s a simple meditation break. Sometimes it’s a doable lifestyle tweak. Sometimes it’s dietary adjustments. Sometimes it’s focus on getting a little more sleep. Our goal is for you to feel good in your body and your life, and we provide the tools to get you there faster.

Just as we are all individuals, neuropathy is unique to each person.

It shows up differently in different people. Our holistic methods look at the person and the pattern of imbalance, and we treat the big picture. The goal is always improved circulation and nerve conduction, but getting to the bottom of what is causing the neuropathy is the deepest way to solving it. Our bodies want to be efficient. It actually takes a lot more work to live in a pattern of imbalance than it does to live in health and vitality. Our techniques remind the body that healing is a more efficient method of operating and that living with balanced hormones, plenty of energy, good sleep, and regulated moods is its natural state.

Gentle Acupuncture

Our specialty is gentle acupuncture. Acupuncture has been healing bodies for centuries, by awakening and stimulating your own body’s innate healing process. It restores cells and tissues, cleans up what doesn’t belong there, and gets blood flow moving to reduce pain.

Herbal Supplements

Herbal supplements simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This is an important approach for neuropathy — herbal supplements can restore circulation while strengthening the body to support proper nutrient absorption and to restore energy. This combination makes herbal medicine particularly well-suited to addressing all kinds of nervous system issues.

Acupuncture of Iowa Iowa City Diet and Nutrition icon

Functional Neuropathy Therapy

When your tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, they naturally function at a very high level. When tissues are functioning at a high level, nerve conduction is enhanced. We provide specialized, simple, and doable dietary recommendations for all of our neuropathy patients.

Relaxation & Stress Reduction

When your body is in a state of relaxation, it is able to do repair at the deepest level. In this state, your tissues, muscles, bones, and nerves become more synchronized and calm — creating the perfect stage for health and healing. This means less inflammation, better circulation, balanced hormones, a calmer mind, more energy, and better mood.

1
Free Initial Consultation

At your free initial consultation, you’ll meet with Laura to discuss your neuropathy, your medical history, medications you are currently taking, and most importantly, your goals. We want to be certain that our neuropathy program is a good fit for your needs and that there is a high probability of success for you, before we move forward to the next step. Click here to meet with us for your free consultation.

2
Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan

After your free consultation with Laura, and we agree that this program is a good fit for you, the next step forward is the Intake Appointment. At this visit, Laura will do a thorough assessment of your neuropathy pattern, medical history, and other factors to identify the root cause of your neuropathy to devise the right treatment approach for you, based upon the goals you have discussed.

After this assessment, you will receive your first acupuncture treatment, and you will be given a treatment plan with simple, easy-to-follow instructions. Your treatment plan includes dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as herbal supplements to address the root of YOUR neuropathy.

3
Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel your body establishing a new pattern. We want to make sure your treatment plan is providing you with:

  • Balanced hormones
  • Improved digestion
  • Decreased inflammation
  • More “good days” — energy, mood, stamina

You’ll also receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that your nervous system is rebalancing to return to its original pattern of health.

4
Transitional Care as Improvements Are Maintained

Once we see improvements that are maintaining over time, we will start spacing visits out further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tune-ups”. We are here for you, in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you on that level, if that is your wish.

5
Taking Care of Your Loved Ones

We are honored and proud that most of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or members of the community who have experienced the profound effects of our work. We love to help people feel better in their bodies and their lives — it’s what we wake up excited to do, every day. We would love to help your family, friends, and colleagues on their own path to better health — more joy, more energy, more focus, less pain.

We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones on their journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.
