Chiropractic Care for Neuropathy

Your nerves play an incredibly vital role, essentially acting as an electrical signal system for the entire body. In addition to sending messages, the nervous system supplies the body with sensation through pain, touch, temperature, and vibration. When dealing with the nervous system, there are several conditions that could damage your nerves, causing dysfunction in these roles. At Rebarber Family in Highland Park, NJ, Chiropractic, we are providing chiropractic care for people who are experiencing neuropathy, a disease that damages certain nerves. Here is what you need to know about our services from and how our neurological chiropractor treats neuropathy.

How to Detect Neuropathy

Not sure if you have neuropathy? This condition comes with several identifiable signs and symptoms. You should consult a healthcare professional if you regularly experience the following symptoms: numbness, tingling, prickling, sharp jabs, cramps, burning, or a general loss of sensation. While any part of the body can develop nerve damage, it's most felt in the hands or feet. Neuropathy might also affect bodily functions such as digestion or blood circulation.

Common Causes of Neuropathic Disease

Neuropathy often indicates an underlying problem that is more severe in its effects. This condition is strongly associated with autoimmune disease, diabetes, infection, cancer, bone marrow disorder, and other nerve-linked diseases. Some cases of neuropathy will develop slowly over the course of months or years, while others may occur more rapidly. Whatever the cause is, neuropathic patients should get screened for related conditions that could change the nervous system.

Does Neuropathy Go Away?

In some cases, the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may lessen over time. However, that isn't a full cure for this condition, and it often takes a chiropractic professional to begin a gradual healing process. Effective treatment for nerve damage will require an assessment, a diagnosis, and a treatment plan for the disease. Depending on the patient's circumstances, chiropractic treatment may involve spinal decompression therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, cold laser therapy, or spinal adjustments. Be sure to ask a chiropractor from our practice for the best treatment options for you.
