HOW TO FIX NEUROPATHY

Have you been experiencing numbness in your feet? Maybe you have a tingling sensation, pain, or general muscle weakness. If so, those are symptoms of neuropathy (or peripheral neuropathy). 

Per the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the many conditions that can be considered neuropathy have common grounds. What is it, exactly? There’s some type of issue with the peripheral nervous system. Considering that this system is responsible for helping the CNS speak with the body, it’s clear why neuropathy can be so problematic. 

Approximately 2.4% of people around the world have neuropathy, with the percentage growing to 5%-7% for people aged 45 and above. Are you wondering how to fix neuropathy so that you don’t have to be just another percentage? Let’s chat about what you can do.

HOW TO FIX NEUROPATHY

In the event that you have neuropathy symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment. These are a few examples of how to fix neuropathy or simply manage your pain and other symptoms: 

#1: LOOK INTO PHYSICAL THERAPY

Loss of muscle strength frequently happens with peripheral neuropathy. Physical therapy can be a good solution for this issue. It’s also not a bad idea to consider a wheelchair, cane, walker, or something else based on your symptoms. 

#2: CONSIDER A NEW EXERCISE REGIMEN

Taking a walk as little as three times a week has been shown to benefit neuropathy symptoms. Mayo Clinic also mentions that certain exercises may be useful for managing your blood sugar, getting muscle strength progress, and so on. Yoga is another commonly recommended exercise regimen for neuropathy. Work with your doctor to see if changes to your exercise plan can help you start feeling better. 

#3: SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A CHIROPRACTOR FOR NEUROPATHY

Neuropathy is an uncomfortable condition, and you don’t have to face it alone. When you book a chiropractic appointment with experienced chiropractors who have worked with neuropathy for years, you can take a step forward toward the relief you want and deserve. 
Initially, we’ll inquire about your symptoms, condition, medical history, etc. We’ll also perform a thorough exam to figure out the underlying cause of your pain, and if that’s neuropathy, we’ll recommend chiropractic treatment methods that can benefit your pain levels. (There might be other modalities we suggest as well, including but not limited to massage and at-home exercises).

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR NEUROPATHY TO GO AWAY?

As you might expect, there’s no way to know how long it will take for a person’s neuropathy to disappear. Getting treatment can help, though. You might find relief during the treatment period, or it may be several months (6-12+) post-treatment before you begin to get relief.
