Peripheral neuropathy is a fairly common condition, resulting from damage to the nerves or their protective coverings. In many cases, it’s associated with diabetes, but it may also occur from an injury, autoimmune diseases, infections, nutritional deficiencies, and other causes.
The skin can also be very sensitive to the touch. Symptoms vary from person to person, depending on their health condition, and which nerves are impacted.
A Different Approach
Chiropractic care is an effective alternative for treating neuropathy pain, and also seeks to identify and correct any underlying causes to help slow down the progression of the condition. Reducing inflammation may help ease some symptoms, allowing the person to have a better quality of life.
Our doctors work with the nervous system, the master controller of the body and its functions. In some conditions, such as diabetic neuropathy, the issue may not originate in the spine, so a more localized approach is necessary.
Laser therapy is perfect for this condition—it even has a neuropathy setting! We can program the machine for a specific area, and in as little as eight minutes, the light therapy has penetrated to the different levels of the body where its healing effects are needed. It kickstarts the healing process in the damaged nerves we have identified in the problem area. Depending on the severity of the condition, we design a custom care plan for your condition, and then we just let the laser do its thing!
With diabetic neuropathy, there are multiple issues, including wounds healing slower than normal. This therapy works by essentially speeding up the process of nerve cell reconnection, and increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing in the area as well.
Helping our patients live with less pain and return to doing the things they want to do is our main goal.
