Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, often affecting areas farthest from the heart, such as the hands and feet. Symptoms commonly include numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, and pain, which can impair balance, coordination, and the ability to perform fine motor tasks. Neuropathy can result from diabetes, injury, infections, or exposure to toxins, and severely impact quality of life if left untreated.
At a chiropractic clinic, neuropathy is managed with non-invasive protocols designed to regenerate healthy nerve function and reduce symptoms. Treatment options may incorporate in-office therapies, home exercise regimens, nutritional guidance, and modalities like laser therapy to stimulate nerve healing. Early intervention and a combined therapeutic approach help to restore sensory and motor function, slow progression, and improve comfort.
