Expertly treating pain in the Lexington, KY area

Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves, often leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in various parts of the body. It is commonly associated with diabetes but can also result from injuries, infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to toxins. At Stinson Chiropractic Center, we specialize in non-invasive, drug-free approaches to help manage and relieve neuropathic symptoms.

Symptoms of Neuropathy

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be dealing with neuropathy:

• Tingling or burning sensations in the hands, feet, or other areas
• Numbness or loss of sensation
• Sharp, stabbing, or shooting pain
• Muscle weakness or difficulty coordinating movements
• Increased sensitivity to touch
• Balance issues or difficulty walking

The severity and location of symptoms depend on which nerves are affected, making a proper diagnosis essential.

Common Causes of Neuropathy

Neuropathy can develop due to various factors, including:

• Diabetes: One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy
• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus
• Injuries: Trauma or compression of nerves
• Vitamin Deficiencies: Especially B vitamins
• Toxin Exposure: Alcohol, chemotherapy, or heavy metals
• Infections: Such as shingles or Lyme disease
• Herniated Discs: Causing nerve compression and pain

Chiropractic Care for Neuropathy

At Stinson Chiropractic Center, we take a holistic approach to neuropathy treatment, focusing on natural, drug-free solutions that promote nerve healing and pain relief. Our treatment options may include:

• Chiropractic Adjustments: By realigning the spine and improving nervous system function, chiropractic adjustments can reduce nerve pressure and improve circulation, which may help alleviate neuropathy symptoms.
• Spinal Decompression Therapy: For neuropathy caused by compressed nerves or herniated discs, spinal decompression can relieve pressure, reduce pain, and encourage nerve healing.
• Cold Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy stimulates nerve regeneration, reduces inflammation, and enhances circulation, providing relief from pain and numbness.
• Nutritional Guidance: Proper nutrition is essential for nerve health. We provide personalized dietary recommendations, including supplements like B vitamins, alpha-lipoic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support nerve regeneration.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises can improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance circulation, helping to manage neuropathy symptoms effectively.
