Neuropathy
Cumming Chiropractic Center in Cumming, GA is no stranger to the pain caused by neuropathy. There are an estimated twenty thousand individuals in the United States that face neuropathic pain at any given time. This is pain that originates from damage to the nerves. This damage can occur during a personal injury, an auto accident injury, and is even seen in pediatrics. Chiropractic treatment is often the first course of action in neuropathy cases.
What is Neuropathy?
The communication system in your body is a network of nerves that originate from the brain. The main nerves travel down through your neck and spinal cord and branch out to every area of your body. It is through these nerves that your brain receives messages indicating when you are hot or cold, in pain, or there is some other need in your body. These nerves are very thin and can be easily damaged. When you have a disease such as diabetes or experience an injury where a part of your body is twisted, hit, or in any way damaged, the nerves can also be damaged. This causes those nerves to send false signals to your brain. Some indicators of neuropathy include:
- Foot/ankle pain
- Inflammation in the knees, calves, or shoulders
- Limited range of movement
- Numbness or tingling in the extremities
- Weakness or tremors
- Headaches
- Stiff neck muscles
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
There are several methods used by chiropractors to help alleviate neuropathic pain. Manual manipulation can often reduce pain. Other methods include injections or the use of electrical currents. Your doctor will work with you to determine which treatment best fits your needs.
