HOW TO FIX NEUROPATHY

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, neuropathy (or peripheral neuropathy) encompasses a variety of conditions with one commonality: problems of some kind in the peripheral nervous system, which is the middleman for communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and body.

Sources show that peripheral neuropathy affects 2.4% of individuals worldwide. That number also goes up to 5%-7% for those 45+. 

Neuropathy is known to cause muscle weakness, a numb feeling in your feet, pain, tingling sensations, and more.

HOW TO FIX NEUROPATHY

Do you have signs of neuropathy? Here are some common ways on how to fix neuropathy and help your symptoms start improving: 

#1: LOOK INTO PHYSICAL THERAPY

Neuropathy can make you lose strength in your muscles. Fortunately, physical therapy can help with this. It may also be recommended to get a walker, wheelchair, cane, etc. 

#2: CONSIDER A NEW EXERCISE REGIMEN

According to Mayo Clinic, certain exercises (e.g., walking 3x weekly) may help you with pain from neuropathy, as well as help with blood sugar management and muscle strength improvement. There is some research that yoga can also be beneficial for neuropathy. Talk to your doctor about what is right for you. 

#3: SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A CHIROPRACTOR FOR NEUROPATHY

Neuropathy should not be taken lightly. You need a qualified professional who has experience with neuropathy treatments, and that’s where we can help. Our chiropractors always start by asking questions about you, your medical history, your family’s medical history, your lifestyle, and so forth. Then, we do an examination to see what’s causing your pain.

If it turns out you have neuropathy, we’ll utilize a variety of gentle chiropractic methods to help with your pain and take down any inflammation. On top of chiropractic care, we also recommend massage therapy, alignment, and certain exercises you can do from the comfort of your home.
