Chiropractic Solutions for Neuropathy

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a challenging, life-altering condition that often goes unnoticed until it becomes increasingly difficult to address. It involves nerve damage impacting the body’s extremities—primarily the arms and legs. Symptoms can range from a pins-and-needles sensation to persistent, uncomfortable pain.

​

Peripheral neuropathy may be linked to an identifiable cause (such as diabetic neuropathy) or be idiopathic, meaning no clear root cause can be pinpointed. Possible contributors include vitamin deficiencies, injuries, or certain medications, though the underlying reason often remains unknown. Fortunately, recent advances in treatment are providing renewed hope for those living with this condition.

​

Treatment Approaches for Peripheral Neuropathy

Conventional care often involves medications designed to ease symptoms—commonly Gabapentin, Neurontin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta. However, these medications affect all types of nerves and do not necessarily tackle the root cause. Today, more effective options exist, allowing you to choose a treatment path aligned with your overall health goals.

​

The Chiropractic Advantage for Peripheral Neuropathy

Chiropractic care is an increasingly popular choice for managing peripheral neuropathy. This noninvasive yet highly effective method targets specific problem areas via physical therapy and spinal adjustments, leading to noticeable improvements over time.

​

Factors contributing to neuropathy can include diabetes, chemotherapy side effects, nerve compression syndromes, and more. By honing in on the affected regions and using specialized therapies, chiropractors aim to reduce symptoms, ease discomfort, and promote natural healing. With each session, many patients report steady progress and diminished pain levels.

​

Chiropractic care focuses on identifying the underlying cause of your discomfort rather than merely masking symptoms. Even those with long-standing, chronic neuropathy often find relief through this approach. If symptoms continue, chiropractors can collaborate with you to explore additional treatments or complementary therapies to effectively manage and minimize pain.
