Treatment for Peripheral Neuropathy

Treatment for Peripheral Neuropathy

Neuropathy, or nerve damage, can result from a wide range of conditions such as diabetes and even treatments like chemotherapy. In fact, neuropathy, which is sometimes referred to as peripheral neuropathy, is not a single health condition but rather a term used to describe a range of health problems involving damage to the peripheral nerves, as well as the symptoms of those issues.

Neuropathy symptoms ultimately depend on the underlying cause and the individual, but they can include:

• Temporary or permanent numbness
• Tingling, prickling, or burning sensation
• Increased sensitivity to touch
• Pain
• Muscle weakness or wasting
• Paralysis
• Dysfunction in organs or glands
• Impairment to urination and sexual function

While neuropathy is unpleasant and can cause debilitating pain, the good news is that it’s not always irreversible. There are treatment options available for neuropathy patients to help lessen their pain and discomfort or stop the progression of a condition altogether. One such form of therapy is chiropractic care which has proven effective in many cases.
