Learn How A Tallahassee Chiropractic Office Alleviates Neuropathy Symptoms

By April Madrid


Neuropathy is secondary to other preexisting chronic conditions such as diabetes or arthritis. Years of wear and tear on the body from chronic disease may lead to peripheral nerve damage and neuropathy can develop. The hands and feet are the areas most frequently affected. The neuropathy may extend to upper and lower body extremities or the hips. Sufferers can find relief by working with a Tallahassee Chiropractor.

Neuropathy symptoms include tingling, weakness, pain and numbness. They tend to be episodic in nature, and may last for short or longer periods of time. Some people feel dizzy and about to lose their balance. Often people become uncoordinated. They may become clumsy, dropping things for no apparent reason or bumping into walls.

If you are just beginning to experience these symptoms it can be quite disturbing. A person may sense that the problem is neurological or that something is going wrong with their brain. The unknown can cause fear and anxiety. It is better to get to your primary care physician and your chiropractor to first identify the condition and second to relieve your symptoms.

People suffering from diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or other chronic diseases are already taking several types of medication to manage a lifetime disease. These folks are happy to hear that chiropractic care will be non invasive and will not include more medications.

Electro therapy, massage and nutritional counseling are used to manage the symptoms of neuropathy. Chiropractic philosophy is based on the holistic concept that the body, with proper care, will work to heal itself. Chiropractors look at the patient as one whole organism and seek the underlying cause of pain. They work to manage and heal that source.

With aging, taking good care of your health becomes more important than ever. If you have been living with a chronic disease for many years, you have learned some coping skills. Neuropathy can also be managed, and you can continue to live a full life. See your chiropractor for relief and management of your symptoms.
