Natural Peripheral Neuropathy Care With Chiropractic
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition in which the nerves outside of the central nervous system sustain damage, causing sharp, stabbing, or throbbing pain and other symptoms. Early diagnosis and care are essential for mitigating the extent of the damage and managing the condition well. Chiropractic care can be an effective way to address peripheral neuropathy. At Rockwall Elite Healthcare, our chiropractors have extensive experience supporting patients with nerve damage in Rockwall, TX.
Do You Have Peripheral Neuropathy?
Within the peripheral nervous system, there are sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves that control touch and sensation, muscle movement, and functions like heart rate and digestion. Because of this, the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can vary widely. For example, if your autonomic nerves are affected, you might experience heat intolerance, digestive problems, or dizziness caused by drops in blood pressure.
Patients with peripheral neuropathy also frequently experience:
- The gradual onset of tingling and numbness in the feet or hands
- Sharp, throbbing, or burning pain
- Muscle weakness
- Poor coordination
How Chiropractic Care Can Help With Neuropathy
Chiropractic care uses a holistic approach to wellness. By bringing the body’s systems and components into proper alignment, the nervous system and musculoskeletal system are allowed to function properly.
There are several chiropractic treatments that can be helpful for managing peripheral neuropathy. These include chiropractic adjustments, which can relieve pressure on nerves.
In addition, regenerative medicine such as cold laser therapy can be helpful. Cold laser therapy works by increasing blood flow, supporting the growth of new blood vessels, and promoting tissue regeneration for better healing.
Spinal decompression may also be helpful. As the spine is gently stretched during this treatment, pressure on the nerves lessens. Spinal decompression may be particularly beneficial for patients with peripheral neuropathy that has been caused by a herniated disc.
Another option for peripheral neuropathy patients is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. This involves drawing a small amount of your own blood and processing it to separate the blood matter from the plasma. Then, the doctor injects the concentrated plasma into the damaged tissue to support faster healing.
