Peripheral neuropathy happens when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged, causing changes in how the body feels and moves. This condition can lead to tingling, burning, numbness, or weakness, most often in the hands and feet. It may result from diabetes, injury, infections, or prolonged pressure on nerves. These damaged nerves can interfere with communication between the brain and body, affecting balance and coordination. A chiropractor can help by improving spinal alignment, reducing nerve irritation, and supporting better function of the nervous system. By addressing areas of tension and imbalance, chiropractic care may help improve nerve communication and lessen discomfort. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or weakness, it is suggested that you schedule a visit with a chiropractor. Proper care can help manage nerve-related symptoms and promote better body function so you can get back to feeling more like yourself again.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a condition affecting the peripheral nerves, often resulting in sensations of numbness, tingling, burning, or sharp pain, typically in the hands or feet. This condition can stem from diabetes, infections, physical trauma, or other underlying health issues, disrupting the body’s ability to send and receive signals between the nervous system and various parts of the body. Neuropathy can interfere with daily life, making even simple tasks uncomfortable or painful.
Chiropractic care
Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to managing neuropathy symptoms by focusing on improving nerve function and reducing pressure on affected nerves. Through gentle adjustments to the spine or other impacted areas, chiropractors aim to relieve nerve compression, potentially alleviating symptoms and supporting healthier nerve pathways.
Some chiropractors may also suggest dietary adjustments and other lifestyle changes to support nerve health and reduce symptoms of neuropathy, encouraging circulation and reducing inflammation around the nerves.
Chiropractic treatment
Chiropractic treatment for neuropathy provides a non-invasive, natural way to address discomfort by focusing on underlying imbalances that contribute to nerve pain. This approach promotes overall nervous system health and may offer relief from neuropathy symptoms, improving patients’ comfort and quality of life.
