Neuropathy Sufferers Find Relief With Peabody Chiropractic Office

The extremities are most often affected by the disorder called peripheral neuropathy. But, that is not always the only part of the body that suffers. Nerve damage is likely responsible for your symptoms of pain, tingling and weakness. Turning to the professionals at Peabody Chiropractic will provide answers to the question of whether someone has this disorder.

An appointment to see the chiropractor will start by exploring your symptoms. They include weakness, pain and feeling numb. These symptoms are associated with the disorder whether it is caused by diabetes or another condition. Some examples of other causes are autoimmune disease, vitamin deficiency and alcoholism.

Cramping during the night may cause you to lose sleep. Some people have the sensation of wearing stockings that are too tight. In fact, their feet and legs are bare. Walking is painful. Although some think only diabetics are subject to this disorder, that is not true. Only thirty-three percent of the sufferers have diabetes.

Your spine, legs and feet will be thoroughly examined. It is often possible to discover this condition by having the individual describe the symptoms. They can vary from being mildly annoying to life altering. A poor sense of balance is another symptom. Unfortunately, it can lead to a fall.

The flow of blood to your lower limbs may be increased by wearing compression stockings for at least a part of the day. Many individuals notice an almost immediate improvement. Pain is alleviated an hour or two after putting them on.

As your chiropractor can attest, individuals over the age of fifty-five are most susceptible to this often disabling condition. Peripheral neuropathy, in the form of carpal tunnel syndrome, strikes many who work on a computer all day. They may be unable to continue in their job. Some types of neuropathy are passed down in families. These have earlier onset, which is usually under the age of thirty. If, unlike carpal tunnel syndrome, the reason for your neuropathy cannot be determined, it is said to be of idiopathic origin.
