Neuropathy refers to pain or unusual sensations caused by nerves in the body. Diseases like diabetes and kidney disorders can be a factor is some types of neuropathy. Tumors and growths may also be responsible. Also, nerve pain can be a result of injury or trauma or can come from weak and tightened muscles. Your San Antonio chiropractic doctor provides therapy for many types of neuropathy.



One of the more common neuropathic conditions is a result of subxluxations or misalignment in the spinal structure. The human spine consists of many small bones and each bone is separated by a soft and pliable disk. Inside the spine, a large network of nerves resides, and the nerves are responsible for communications between body and brain.



If any one part of your spine is out of alignment, it can cause pain. For example, when the spinal column is slightly out of place, this can affect the nerves within. In fact, a nerve may become compressed, and this can lead to irritation which may lead to sensations like numbness or lack of feeling in the extremities. Depending on the location of the nerve compression, legs, arms, feet, or head, may be affected.



Nerve pain can take many forms. In some cases, it can be felt as a stabbing sensation or burning. You may feel tingling sensations like pins and needles. A nerve condition may also result in muscle weakness, and can affect bodily functions like digestion and elimination.



Your chiropractor is there to provide a total exam to get to the root of your problem. Depending on your condition, you may need more than one testing procedure. If spinal misalignment is the problem, chiropractic adjustment can be highly effective.



Your chiropractor in San Antonio utilizes some of the most modern types of technology for pain relief. However, you also have access to time tested procedures like acupuncture and massage. Your care does not include surgery, drugs, or injections and is completely natural and safe. Also, therapy may be covered by your health insurance.
