Suffering from the impact of peripheral neuropathy? Dr. Michael Wilson and the team at Kosak Chiropractic in Fairfield, CA, offer personalized and effective natural care to help you find the relief you deserve.
Chiropractic Care for Peripheral Neuropathy
Your body has many nerves, some of which reside in your spinal cord and head. Others – your peripheral nerves – are those that reside outside of these two areas. The peripheral nerves can become impacted due to injuries and medical conditions, such as diabetes.
When they do become impacted, it can lead to burning pain, numbness, tingling, and more – especially in the hands and feet. This is known as peripheral neuropathy. Below, Dr. Wilson and the team at Kosak Chiropractic in Fairfield, CA, share how chiropractic care can help minimize or eliminate the symptoms of this condition.
Getting to the Root
When the condition is caused by a musculoskeletal injury, your chiropractor can get straight to the source. Through adjustments and other techniques, the injury can be addressed, removing the cause of the damage and the source of pain.
Additionally, chiropractors can provide assistance in managing diabetes, if that is the root cause as opposed to an injury. Restoring alignment to the body can help empower you to move better and be more energized, which makes exercising to control your condition much more manageable. Chiropractic techniques also improve blood flow and include nutritional and exercise guidance.
Improving Nerve Function
The nerves carry messages to and from the brain. When they are impacted, though, this line of communication is closed or slowed, which leads to unwanted symptoms. However, chiropractic care can improve this communication in various ways.
Restoring the alignment of the skeletal system helps relieve pressure on the nerves. Chiropractic massage, electrical stimulation, and therapeutic exercises are also beneficial. They can help reduce inflammation, stimulate healing of the nerve endings, improve blood flow to the impacted area, and further relieve pressure on the nerves.
Daily Guidance
In addition to the various techniques utilized to help you find relief at the office, chiropractors also focus on helping you throughout your daily life. The specific help offered depends on your symptoms and the cause of them. Your personalized care plan can include exercises to complete at home, nutritional guidance to help fight inflammation and improve nerve function, lifestyle adjustments, and more.
