How Our Chiropractors Can Help You Find Relief From Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms
Peripheral neuropathy causes painful symptoms that can affect every area of your life. While there is no cure for neuropathy, you can seek treatment options that offer relief from your symptoms. At Merivale Chiropractic and Massage Clinic, our chiropractors can design a personalised treatment plan for nerve damage and peripheral neuropathy in Ottawa, Canada.
Understanding the Cause of Your Neuropathy
Before we can design an effective neuropathy treatment plan, we will need to understand more about the cause of your neuropathy. The most common cause of neuropathy is diabetes, but other causes are:
- Alcohol overuse
- Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies
- Autoimmune disorders
- Inflammatory conditions
- Reactions to medications and toxins
- Infections
- Trauma
- Complications from surgery
- Vascular disorders
- Genetic conditions
- Tumors
In some cases, the cause of peripheral neuropathy is unknown. This condition is called idiopathic neuropathy.
Evaluating Your Neuropathy Symptoms
Next, our team will evaluate your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy can cause a wide range of symptoms that affect the peripheral nervous system. The most common neuropathy symptoms are:
- Muscle weakness
- Numbness or a pins and needles feeling
- Temporary or permanent paralysis
- Muscle atrophy
- Uncontrolled muscle movements
- Clumsiness
- Nerve pain
- Inability to regulate your body temperature, causing excessive sweating or no sweating at all
- Bowel and bladder issues
- Sexual dysfunction
- Blood pressure problems
Designing a Personalised Chiropractic Treatment Plan
When we better understand your condition and its symptoms, we can design a personalised chiropractic neuropathy treatment plan. We will consider your overall health, age, the cause of your neuropathy, your symptoms, lifestyle, and your health goals. Chiropractic care focuses on finding natural, drug-free treatment options that stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These treatment options include:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Shockwave therapy.
- Diet and nutrition counselling
- Lifestyle changes
- Therapeutic exercises and stretches
Reducing the Risk of Chronic Neuropathy Symptoms
In addition to treating your existing neuropathy symptoms, we may also reduce your risk of chronic neuropathy symptoms. By improving your overall health and wellness through chiropractic care, we may strengthen your body and improve your lifestyle habits so you’re at a lower risk of neuropathy complications. We may also reduce your risk of permanent nerve damage and relieve your pain, improve your mobility and range of motion, and increase your core strength. These treatment methods will relieve pressure on your nerves and joints so your body can heal and you can get back to enjoying your hobbies and interests.
