We know you were told to just live with it. We know better.
For years, conventional medicine has told neuropathy patients the same thing: there’s no cure, so learn to manage the pain. Dr. Janet Quintanilla has spent 16 years and over 70,000 treatments proving there’s another path — one aimed at treating the nerve damage itself, not just masking the symptoms it leaves behind.
The diagnosis you were given isn’t the whole story
If you’re reading this, you already know the feeling:
Peripheral neuropathy often starts with reduced blood flow and constriction around the nerves that starves them of the oxygen and nutrients they need to function. You’ve probably been told to take the medication, manage the symptoms, and accept that this is just how it’s going to be from now on.
Here’s what most people are never told: when circulation is restored and the nerve is given what it needs to repair itself, the body can begin to heal. We’ve worked with patients who were told they’d sustained 85% nerve damage and still found real relief.
“I felt like my body was truly mine again”
Sarah had stopped trusting her own feet. The burning came first — a constant, static-like heat under her skin that got worse at night. Then the numbness. Then the fear that came with it: what happens if this keeps spreading? She’d cycled through medication after medication, seeking specialist after specialist. Each time, more disappointed than the last.
When she came to Sonoma Acupuncture, she was honest about being nervous — needles weren’t exactly her comfort zone. But she started treatment anyway, working with Dr. Quintanilla through a personalized treatment plan. The change didn’t happen overnight. It happened in a series of small things: a full night of sleep. Feeling her feet again instead of just an agonizing burn. And then, one day, it happened all at once.
Today, she’s back behind the wheel and back to traveling — two things neuropathy had quietly stolen from her for too long. “Being able to continue driving and traveling was a game-changer for me. I felt like I got my life back.” Her message to anyone reading this now: “I want people to know that there’s hope beyond more conventional treatments.”
Meet Dr. Janet Quintanilla, DOM, Dipl.OM
Dr. Quintanilla didn’t set out to specialize in the conditions conventional medicine calls “untreatable” or “too complex.” She got here by watching people she loved go through the standard playbook — medication, hopeless appointments, more medication, and a slow acceptance that nothing more could be done, without ever finding real relief. That’s the gap she set out to close. Over 16 years and more than 70,000 treatments, she’s combined time-tested acupuncture with modern medical solutions to help patients achieve real relief — and get their lives back.
My goal for every patient isn’t just to quiet the symptoms. It’s to help you regain function, restore hope, and get back to living the life you love.— Dr. Janet Quintanilla, DOM
No two neuropathy cases are identical — so no two plans are either
Here’s how it works from the moment you walk in.
Consultation
You sit down with Dr. Quintanilla and walk through your history — when symptoms started, what you’ve already tried, what daily life looks like now. This is a conversation, not a form.
Neuropathy screening
A hands-on evaluation to determine exactly how advanced the nerve damage is and which nerves are involved — the foundation everything else is built on.
Personalized treatment plan
Based on your screening, Dr. Quintanilla builds a plan specific to your case, drawing from acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, and other therapies as needed. No two patients get the same protocol.
Ongoing support
Progress is tracked visit to visit, and your plan is adjusted as your nerves respond. You’re never left guessing whether it’s working — or going through it alone.
Every plan starts with a full evaluation — no one is placed into a generic protocol.
Your first step costs $40, not $240
You don’t have to commit to anything to find out if this could work for you. Your first visit is a full consultation with Dr. Quintanilla — a real evaluation of your history, your symptoms, and whether this approach makes sense for your case.
Patients travel from across New Mexico & West Texas
Frequently asked questions
What is peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, most often causing burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hands and feet. It can result from diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune conditions, injury, or unknown causes, and tends to worsen over time without intervention.
What causes peripheral neuropathy to get worse?
Nerve damage is frequently tied to reduced blood flow and inflammation restricting circulation to the nerves themselves, which starves them of oxygen and nutrients. Left unaddressed, this can allow symptoms to spread from the feet or hands further up the limbs.
Can peripheral neuropathy be treated without medication?
Yes. While medications can dull symptoms, they don’t address the underlying nerve damage. Non-drug approaches like acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, and circulation-focused therapies aim at the nerve tissue itself rather than just masking the pain signal.
Does acupuncture help with neuropathy pain?
Many patients use acupuncture and related therapies to support nerve function and reduce neuropathy symptoms such as burning, tingling, and numbness. At Sonoma Acupuncture, treatment is built around your specific screening results rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
How is Dr. Quintanilla’s approach different from what I’ve already tried?
Most conventional treatment for neuropathy focuses on symptom management. Dr. Quintanilla’s approach starts with a screening to determine the severity and location of nerve involvement, then builds a personalized plan aimed at supporting the nerve itself — not just quieting the pain.
How many treatments will I need to see a difference?
It depends on how advanced the nerve damage is. Some patients notice changes in sleep or sensation within the first few visits; more advanced or longer-standing cases typically need a sustained plan to see meaningful change. Your screening results help set realistic expectations from the start.
I’ve already tried everything — medication, PT, specialists. Is this really different?
This is the question almost every patient asks before their first visit, and it’s exactly why the consultation and screening exist: to look at your specific case honestly before promising anything.
Do you see patients from outside Las Cruces, like El Paso or other parts of West Texas?
Yes — patients regularly travel from across New Mexico and West Texas for care at Sonoma Acupuncture. Many say the drive was worth it after years of not finding relief closer to home.
What happens at the initial consultation?
You’ll sit down with Dr. Quintanilla to review your history and symptoms, followed by a neuropathy screening to assess severity. You’ll leave with a clear picture of your case and, if it’s a fit, a personalized treatment plan — not a generic sales pitch.
You’ve lived with this long enough.
