Those In Pain 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 aging process and diabetes are commonly associated with this condition. It is a complex issue. There are numerous causes. Cancer, lupus, multiple sclerosis and AIDS are the more difficult to resolve. When peripheral neuropathy is caused by compressed nerves it is easier to resolve through chiropractic care.

Combined with nutrition that destroys free radicals, chiropractic care is effective. Fresh fruit and vegetables, when consumed on a regular basis can destroy the free radicals. They will no longer interfere with the transmission of signals from the nerve roots to the extremities.

The symptoms of neuropathy that affect the legs and arms are the second most frequent complaint of those who visit a chiropractor. Spinal adjustments are proven to relieve the pressure impacting the nerve roots. When pressure is relieved, the misaligned vertebrae no longer compress the trapped nerves.

An alternative method is called the Active Release Technique. A chiropractor trains to be certified to administer this method of care. More than five-hundred points on the body must be learned.

A full assessment of the clients condition is required before any care is offered. A medical history is compiled by asking relevant questions. The physical exam will include measurements of strength and range of motion abilities. The spine will be palpated.

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.
