Locals Suffering With Neuropathy Find Relief With Laguna Hills Chiropractic Office

By Kelly Blomquist


Neuropathy is a condition caused by peripheral nerve damage and usually results in pain, numbness and weakness of the hands and feet, though sometimes other areas of the body can also be affected. A Laguna Hills Chiropractor can help to identify and relieve the symptoms and pain of peripheral neuropathy.

Neuropathy sufferers may experience a burning or tingling sensation, similar to the sensation of wearing a thin glove or stocking. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms can improve over time, depending on the underlying condition. There are a number of medications that can be given to patients of neuropathy to relieve the painful symptoms, but chiropractic attention and care is more desirable due to the absence of unwanted side effects often associated with conventional medicines.

Peripheral neuropathy may involve just one nerve, a few nerves, or many, and may affect different areas of the body. People with existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, infections, a poor metabolism, or any other disease may be prone to peripheral neuropathy. Other possible causes include traumatic injuries, nutritional deficiencies or toxicity due to poisons.

Symptoms vary widely, but commonly start in the longest nerves, such as the sciatic nerve. Sufferers may experience a gradual onset of symptoms which eventually spread to the main limb. The pain can be severe and feel like a burning, stabbing or electric sensation.

If you develop a heightened sensitivity to even the lightest touch, are lacking coordination, or notice changes in your hair, skin or nails, then you could be experiencing symptoms of neuropathy. Specifically, autonomic nerve damage can be causing problems with your digestion, bowel or bladder, and can also induce dizziness, changes in your blood pressure, and making you less tolerant to heat.

Natural and effective relief from the pain and symptoms brought on by peripheral neuropathy can be found locally at a Laguna Hills chiropractic office. Techniques that progressively and gently reduce pressure on the affected nerves are used to help manage the pain and also stop the peripheral nerves from getting damaged further.
