Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine for Neuropathy in Corvallis
If burning, numbness, or tingling in your hands or feet has become part of your daily life — and you’ve been told there’s nothing more to do but manage it — we’d like to offer another way forward. Our approach combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, and ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, focused on circulation and nerve signaling rather than just masking symptoms.

What’s actually happening with neuropathy
With peripheral neuropathy, the nerves responsible for carrying signals between your brain and body have been damaged — which is what leads to the pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness patients describe.
- Numbness, tingling, burning, or electric‑shock sensations
- A “walking on marbles” or “bunched sock” feeling
- Reduced sensitivity to temperature
- Balance problems and higher fall risk
- Muscle weakness, cramping, or twitching
- Foot drop
- Difficulty gripping objects or with fine motor tasks
- Muscle wasting over time
Does any of this sound familiar?
“I used to hike every weekend — now I’m afraid of losing my footing on the trail.”
“I was told this is just something that happens as you get older.”
“The medication took the edge off, but I hated how it made me feel.”
“Some mornings my feet feel like they’re still asleep long after I’ve gotten up.”
Types of neuropathy we commonly work with
Our approach is designed to help across many forms of neuropathy, including:
Identifying the underlying cause helps shape your treatment plan — though our approach is built to support the nervous system broadly, even when a clear cause hasn’t been found.
Our approach
Our approach is designed to complement conventional care by focusing on factors such as circulation, inflammation, and nervous system function.
Improve circulation to nerve tissue
Nerves under strain need adequate blood flow to get the oxygen and nutrients they rely on.
Support a healthy inflammatory response
Chronic inflammation can affect the environment around nerve tissue. Our approach is designed to support a healthier inflammatory response.
Support cellular energy
ATP Resonance BioTherapy® uses targeted low‑level electrical frequencies to work with the body’s own electrical signaling, supporting cellular energy production.
Supporting nervous system function
Some patients report changes in sensation, comfort, and mobility over time, though experiences vary.
*Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

I enthusiastically recommend David Yeh at Acupuncture Ecology to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist.

Book a Consultation →Your journey
Nerve health rarely changes in a straight line, and we won’t pretend it does. From your first treatment, we’re working to support circulation, calm inflammation, and support the cellular environment — often before any change is noticeable.
Timelines vary depending on the cause, severity, and how long you’ve had symptoms. During your consultation, David will walk you through a realistic picture of what to expect for your specific situation — you won’t be left guessing.
Frequently asked questions
Can this help with the nerve damage itself, or just the pain?
Our approach may help influence how the nervous system processes pain while also focusing on factors such as circulation and inflammation that can affect nerve function. ATP Resonance BioTherapy® is also used to support cellular energy and nervous system function. Results vary based on the cause, severity, and duration of your condition.
My doctor said neuropathy is permanent. Is that true?
Conventional medicine generally treats nerve damage as difficult to reverse, and in severe or longstanding cases, significant reversal may not be realistic. Some patients report meaningful improvement over time, but outcomes vary widely based on cause, severity, and how long you’ve had symptoms. A consultation is the best way to get an honest, individualized picture of what’s realistic for you.
Can I keep taking my current medication while doing this treatment?
Many patients continue their current medications while receiving care. David will review your medications and health history during your consultation. Any changes to prescription medications should always be discussed with and managed by your prescribing provider.
Will I need to take herbal medicine long‑term?
Not necessarily. Many patients start with herbal medicine as part of an active treatment phase, and where appropriate, are gradually tapered as their plan progresses — always based on your individual response, not a fixed timeline.
How many treatments before I notice a difference?
That depends on the cause, duration, and severity of your neuropathy — there’s no single timeline that fits everyone. David will discuss realistic expectations with you during your consultation.
Does acupuncture hurt? I’m already dealing with nerve sensitivity.
This is a common and understandable concern. Acupuncture needles are extremely fine — far thinner than a medical needle — and most patients feel minimal to no discomfort. We regularly work with patients who have heightened nerve sensitivity and adjust our approach as needed throughout treatment.

His path into medicine started unconventionally — a year spent living semi‑primitively at a wilderness school, learning to read the land and its rhythms — and it left him with a lasting fascination with the nervous system and how it responds to targeted support. Today he blends acupuncture, herbal medicine, and ATP Resonance BioTherapy® to treat complex, chronic conditions like neuropathy, working to address issues at the root rather than just manage symptoms.
