St. Petersburg Seniors Find Peripheral Neuropathy Pain Relief With Chiropractic Care Without Using Medication

By Kurt Saniel


Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that is most common among seniors. It causes pain of the extremities that may be constant or intermittent. The individual may experience numbness or tingling as well. Anti-inflammatory medication is virtually useless with this condition that affects as many as one of every twelve humans. It is due to an interruption of the communication of the brain and the rest of one's body. Therapy provided by a St Petersburg FL chiropractor may bring relief.

The condition is most prevalent among individuals suffering diabetes. It is more commonly seen in senior adults. It may be caused by many diseases, including AIDS, MS, cancer and lupus. However, the condition can also be related to vitamin deficiencies or impinged nerves. Dietary deficiencies as well as impinged nerves may also contribute to the condition. Many people find relief with dietary changes and chiropractic care they can manage the pain.

Tissues in the body must have oxygen and nutrients for optimal health. Patients may see improvement by increasing the fruits and vegetables in the diet. These foods supply antioxidants and vitamins that can destroy free radicals and improve nerve transmission.

As a person grows older, the joints of the spine can start to degenerate, leading to pressure on nerve roots, a leading cause of neuropathy. Chiropractors offer spinal adjustments that can relieve the pressure. They also offer several other newer types of therapy to release a patient's impinged nerve.

Chiropractic therapy is non-invasive. It does not involve use of surgery or medication. The adjustments to the spine relieve pressure from the trapped nerves allowing the body's natural healing ability to take over. While there may be some immediate relief, healing of the trapped nerve can take a couple of weeks.

A St Petersburg FL Chiropractor provides safe and gentle therapy to help with conditions, including peripheral neuropathy. Each case is based on the individual patient. Once information has been gathered, the doctor develops an individualized plan to meet each patient's specific needs.
