Neuropathy can be a side effect or caused by other medical conditions, which is why treatment is first tailored to treat the underlying condition which then reduces the severity of the nerve pain. Neuropathy can be severe and quite painful with the most common forms of neuropathy include diabetic neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sciatica which are actually quite prevalent in adults. Because of this, some people may be suffering from neuropathy, and not even know they have it.
Chiropractic care for neuropathy focuses on treating the underlying conditions that cause nerve pain as well as the inflammation that your body is producing from your neuropathy. Treating the inflammation will help to ease your pain in the different joints and extremities. Many patients are looking not only to reduce their pain but to also improve their overall quality of life without relying on medication. To do this, we tailor each chiropractic treatment plan to meet the needs of every patient. For instance, if a patient is suffering fromnerve pain in their lower extremities, our treatment will focus on exercises and therapies that promote healing throughout the leg muscles and joints like the hips,knees, and ankles.
