Underlying Causes of Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy happens as a result of nerve damage. The nervous system controls physical sensations, so damage to these structures can cause weakness, numbness, and pain throughout the body. Damage could result in other dysfunction to digestion, circulation, and urination.

This condition can develop from traumatic injuries to the spine or neck, maybe from a workplace accident or an auto collision. Neuropathy is also linked to metabolic conditions, which can affect nerve function through a lack of energy or nutrition. It's also associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. If you have kidney disease,  liver disease, or diabetes, then you're more likely to develop neuropathy.

Certain risk factors will contribute to your likelihood of neuropathy. For example, alcoholism, nutritional deficiencies, or chemotherapy are associated with nerve damage. If you're hoping to lower these risk factors, consult with a chiropractor or a health provider for professional lifestyle advice - especially in regards to diet and exercise.

What to Expect From Chiropractic Care

At Sunrise Chiropractic, our team is providing quality care for neurological conditions like neuropathy. During a visit to our center, you can expect the chiropractor to perform diagnostic screenings and exams to determine the underlying cause of your nerve pain. After a diagnosis has been determined, the chiropractor will then come up with a treatment plan that properly addresses the issue. This will often involve pain management. Our team takes a unique approach to this kind of care, looking at the patient's motion range, neurological control, cortical integrity, and postural strength. The more information we know about your condition, the better we can serve your needs.
