Learn How Chiropractic Helps Neuropathy In Redondo Beach

By Darcy Gautreau


When peripheral neuropathy strikes a person, he or she will experience painful sensations in the legs and arms and possibly in the feet and hands as well. This happens because the normal transmission of signals from the central nervous system do not reach the arms and legs. A Redondo Beach chiropractor explains to clients that along with these sensations a weakening of the muscles will occur.

The causes include the natural aging process and diabetes. Other, less common causes are multiple sclerosis, lupus, cancer and AIDS. It is a complex condition. When the single cause is compressed nerves, it is more responsive to chiropractic care.

This regular chiropractic care, along with destroying free radicals, is proven effective. This is accomplished by eating fresh fruit and vegetables on a regular basis. Vitamins and antioxidants are able to destroy the free radicals that can interfere with nerve transmission.

Neuropathy affecting the arms and legs is second only to back pain in bringing clients in for chiropractic care. Relieving the pressure that impacts the nerve roots is accomplished by administering spinal adjustments. When the vertebrae are returned to correct alignment trapped nerves are released.

Some use traditional spinal adjustments and others use a technique called Active Release Technique. These chiropractors have received additional training in the technique. They must be certified as having learned the more than five-hundred ways it is performed.

As with any care technique, a full evaluation of the clients condition must be done prior to any care being offered. Questions are asked to compile a medical history. A physical exam is done that includes palpating the spine and measuring strength and range of motion capabilities.

The spinal adjustments, when deemed appropriate, require a series of office visits to apply them. The spine cannot be realigned immediately or in one or two applications. In some cases it has taken only nine applications. However, each person will respond at their own pace.
