The word neuropathy is used to describe some type of nerve disorder or the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nerves are affected by one of many disorders that cause this condition. Diabetes is often to blame. For about thirty percent of those afflicted the cause cannot be determined and is referred to as idiopathic. There is help available for dealing with the pain. Many turn to a prominent Laguna Hills Chiropractor.

There are approximately twenty-million Americans in need of help. Most are in the upper age group. It can, however, affect someone of any age. When the term mononeuropathy is used, it indicates one nerve being affected. Polyneuropathy means that two or more are causing pain. There is a tingling sensation in the hands or feet plus a feeling of weakness.

Possible causes include about forty different drugs and some diseases. Most prevalent of those diseases is diabetes. Many object to taking a regimen of pain medication, either prescription or over-the-counter. There is a chance of addiction with any pain medication.

If the causative factors are compressed nerves or a vitamin deficiency, chiropractic care is the perfect solution. Spinal adjustments serve to alleviate the pressure on the nerves, which reduces the pain. Dietary concerns can also be addressed by your chiropractor in many cases.

Making that first appointment is the first step to finding the relief you require. An examination will be made of the spinal column. Your range of motion, reflexive reactions and strength will be assessed. If it is evident that you are a candidate for spinal adjustments, a series of office visits will be scheduled for them to be administered.

These reduce the pressure by gradually moving the spinal vertebrae into their correct position. As the pressure is reduced so is the pain of neuropathy reduced. It is advisable to have regular follow-up care to maintain the pain alleviation that has been achieved.
