Discover How To Get Relief From Peripheral Neuropathy With Memphis Chiropractic Care

By Derick Scartel


A number of people suffer from peripheral neuropathy, with diabetes accounting for approximately a third of these cases. There may be many more cases which are undiagnosed simply because the symptoms have not developed more completely. Your local Memphis chiropractor will be able to identify this problem and may even have a solution.

Various factors may cause the nerves to gradually lose their ability to conduct impulses to the brain properly, resulting in many symptoms, often including pain. This problem is slow to develop, and most of the symptoms may simply be ignored until they become really serious. This means that the condition is very advanced, and is difficult to treat.

The first step is to identify and resolve whatever is causing the deterioration, if possible. Thereafter, different approaches might be needed to treat both acute and chronic symptoms. Any improvement in the symptoms indicates that the deterioration has been successfully reversed and continuation of the relevant protocol is appropriate.

Your feet are the parts of your body furthest from your brain, and are therefore most likely to be the site where any symptoms first appear. Modern technology has now developed a protocol which is enjoying great success with neuropathy in the feet. Electrical stimulation and other techniques are now helping patients recover their normal sensitivity.

Previously it was thought that nerve damage of this kind was irreversible. Fortunately, greater understanding has permitted innovative new approaches which are showing great potential. Awareness campaigns to encourage early reporting of a problem and technical advances will to provide future improvements in medicine.

A local chiropractor has experienced great success with dealing with this problem, and is eager to help other patients in Memphis. If you have unexplained symptoms in your hands or feet, you should seek attention at once. You may catch the problem before it worsens and also have any precipitating cause identified and dealt with.

The treatment plan devised by the physician that Jerome saw included three main areas - muscle relaxer medicine, PT work done at the SpineOne Rehab Center, and 3 minimally invasive injections that were intended to "kick-start" the healing process - the injections had both steroids to assist in healing and an anesthesia to help with the pain.

He went to physical Therapy 2-3 times a week, where the focus was strengthening his core and teaching him how to do exercises on his own. The Physical therapist that he worked with was diligent about making sure that Jerome did his "homework" eve...
