What Is Neuropathy?
There are several types of neuropathy which can cause tingling, weakness, or loss of sensation with the nerve damage. It can help to understand what type of neuropathy you suffer from in order to help ensure the best treatment plan. Chiropractors address the issue with adjustments that cab help realign the vertebrae and may help release pressure on the nerves. This may help the nerve repair itself over time, helping to alleviate the pain and sensations of neuropathy.
Neuropathy can be from inflammation, overuse, stress and strain, or other type of dysfunction. Treating the cause of the neuropathy is one way to help relieve symptoms and to help get lasting pain relief and pain management.
