Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
You did the hardest thing a body can be asked to do. The scans are clear. The bell was rung. And your hands and feet still carry the chemotherapy with them, tingling, burning, fumbling buttons, dropping keys. Survivorship is supposed to be the prize. It shouldn’t come with a toll.
Taxanes, platinum agents, vinca alkaloids, bortezomib, the same drugs that killed the cancer also injured the long peripheral nerves, starting with the longest: the ones serving your feet and hands. For some survivors it fades. For many, it plateaus and stays.
You were braced for the hair, the nausea, the fatigue. Nobody warned you the neuropathy might outlast all of it, or how guilty it feels to complain about anything when you’re the one who survived.
You didn’t endure treatment to spend remission measuring your steps. Being cancer-free and being well are not the same thing, and you’re allowed to want both.
Oncology’s job was to save your life, and it did. But once active treatment ends, CIPN is usually handed a prescription (gabapentin or duloxetine) and a shrug: “give it time.” There is no protocol in the standard handoff for actually rehabilitating the injured nerves. That missing protocol is what this clinic provides.
CIPN patients arrive here with a particular weariness, they’ve already done a year or more of appointments and don’t want another open-ended one. Susan Mitchell, AP, treats CIPN inside a defined, staged structure with measured progress, because survivors deserve a finish line, not a treadmill.
The clinical logic: The acupuncture addresses the misfiring signal patterns that keep tingling and burning alive after the original insult has ended. ATP Resonance BioTherapy® supports the cellular energy production that chemo-injured fibers need to repair. O3 ReBoot Therapy® restores the microcirculation that delivers the raw materials.
We treat CIPN after active treatment, not during it, and nothing changes with your medications except through your prescriber. Oncology and survivorship teams across Broward County send us their patients, and many survivors simply send themselves.

Your treatment frequency, therapy mix, and program length are set as a plan at your evaluation, built around your case. We hold to that plan for the most part, and adjust it as needed when your response calls for it.
How long you’ve had symptoms and how much sensation has changed sets your starting intensity.
Your baseline is measured at the evaluation, and adjustments follow what those numbers do over the course of care.
For some cases the finish line is regained sensation; for others, stopping the spread. We define it with you, not for you.
Candidacy comes first: the evaluation determines whether the program fits your case, then we discuss the investment in person.
Bring your treatment history and where the tingling and numbness sit now. We evaluate your case, including whether you’re not a candidate.
A staged, personalized plan built around your chemotherapy history and measured against your day-one baseline, not guessed.
The fine motor, the steady walk, and the full nights the bell was supposed to come with.
Fingertips that cooperate again, no more asking for help with the small things.
Feet that report the ground accurately, without the gravel-in-the-sock illusion.
Sleep that doesn’t require positioning your feet outside the covers.
The version of survivorship you pictured when you rang the bell.
Some CIPN improves spontaneously in the first months after treatment ends. Past that window, waiting stops being a strategy: signaling patterns entrench, balance erodes, and neuropathic feet quietly reorganize a survivor’s life around what they can’t do. You’ve already given it time. If it hasn’t left on its own, it’s not planning to.
Your initial consultation is $45. Tell us your story, and we’ll evaluate your case.
