Memphis Chiropractor Provides Peripheral Neuropathy Relief For Locals

By Jay Dy


While there are several types of neuropathy, the peripheral form of the condition cause changes in the small nerve fibers located under the skin. While these changes begin at the extremities, over time they creep up the affected limbs. Patients are finding help with the condition from a Memphis chiropractor.

While type 2 diabetes is the most common reason for this type of neuropathy, it can be caused by other conditions, including the side effects of medication one takes. In addition, more than just one of these conditions affects some. The therapy remains effective for the condition, even it its cause is something other than diabetes.

In the past, the news of peripheral neuropathy has been a disheartening one. The disease is progressive and does not respond to drugs or surgery. Normally, the patient is given painkillers that mask its symptoms, but they do nothing to reverse the condition.

A new therapy using low-level infrared light is helping many chiropractic patients with neuropathy. The therapy is drug free as well as non invasive. It boosts the body's natural healing ability. Chiropractors also offer their patients therapies that help improve their balance and the connection between the body and brain. Still other therapies help to improve circulation in the extremities.

Patients experience fewer symptoms from their condition with this therapy. The pain is reduced as are the number of leg or arm cramps. They experience less numbness and fewer tingling sensations in the feet. Some note greater sensitivity to temperature. Restless leg syndrome becomes less bothersome.

The first step to finding relief of this condition is an exam by a Memphis chiropractor. Like other health conditions, neuropathy has many stages and the lines of definition are often blurred. The results of the exam let the doctor and you know if you are a good candidate for the therapy. In addition, it rules out other factors that could mimic neuropathy.
