Neuropathy is an umbrella term used to describe painful nerve disorders caused by diseases or injuries. Nerve damage occurs when the protective "skin" (myelin) encasing nerve cells degenerates and interferes with the transmission of electrical signals to the brain. As neuropathy worsens, nerves eventually begin short-circuiting and can no longer send signals or transmit false signals. This is why neuropathy produces pain, tingling, and numbness in your extremities, especially the feet, lower legs, and hands. Chiropractic care provided by your chiropractor in Shelby can naturally and effectively decrease nerve pain, numbness in feet, foot pain and other health issues associated with neuropathy.
Nerve damage arises from mostly chronic diseases affecting the circulatory system and chemical composition of blood. Although diabetes is the number one cause of peripheral neuropathy, your Shelby chiropractor also treats neuropathy produced by hypothyroidism; amyloidosis (accumulation of proteins in the body); vitamin B12 and B1 deficiencies; inflammatory illnesses; excessive alcohol consumption; kidney disease and radiation treatment. A less common autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome also damages nerves and promotes systemic neuropathy.
People suffering diabetic neuropathy experience recurring tingling, itching, burning and numbness in their feet, ankles and sometimes in their fingers. Rubbing numb feet vigorously may bring minimal, short-term relief but numbness usually returns rapidly during a neuropathic incident. When neuropathy affects other areas of your body, you may feel sudden, shooting pains or cramps if your hands are affected and you try to grasp and hold onto something. Gait abnormalities, problems with balance, muscle atrophy and weakness are also side effects of untreated neuropathy.
The Key to relieving symptoms of neuropathy is the ability for damaged nerves to receive rich amounts of nutrients and oxygenated blood essential for nerve health. Your chiropractor near Shelby offers a variety of chiropractic techniques such as adjustments, electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy to increase circulation, encourage new capillary formation and support cellular energy levels based on the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In addition to these numerous benefits, holistic treatment for neuropathy improves the functioning of your lymphatic system to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain caused by neuropathies.
