Peripheral Neuropathy Chiropractic in Raleigh
Neuropathy, characterized by tingling, numbness, or pain in the extremities, can be overwhelming. At Active Chiropractic, we offer multidisciplinary approached care that addresses neuropathy symptoms while also working to improve nerve function and enhance your overall quality of life through individualized treatment plans
What Is a Neuropathy?
Neuropathy—often referred to as peripheral neuropathy—is a condition that occurs when the peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or dysfunctional. This nerve damage interferes with normal communication between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms.
Common causes of Neuropathy include:
Diabetes
High blood sugar levels can damage nerves over time, leading to numbness, tingling, or pain—especially in the feet and hands.
Infections
Certain infections—such as shingles, Lyme disease, or HIV—can inflame or damage nerves.
Vitamin Deficiencies
Lack of essential vitamins like B12 can impair nerve function and contribute to nerve damage.
Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)
Peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy often results in nerve pain, tingling, or numbness in the hands and feet. Our clinic offers non-invasive neuropathy treatments to help reduce nerve inflammation, improve circulation, and restore nerve function for cancer survivors.
Neuropathy Symptoms
Neuropathy Sysmptoms vary depending on the location and severity. Common signs include:
- Sharp or Burning Pain: Pain localized to the affected area, which may radiate to other regions, such as the arms or legs.
- Numbness or Tingling: A 'pins and needles' sensation in the affected area.
- Muscle Weakness: Weakness in muscles controlled by the pinched nerve.
- Reduced Mobility: Difficulty moving or using the affected limb or area.
- Worsening Symptoms with Movement: Certain positions or activities may exacerbate the symptoms.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, chiropractic care at Active Chiropractic can help identify the root cause and provide effective relief.
