What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a broad name for a variety of conditions that include peripheral neuropathy and diabetic neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common form of the condition and often the one patients will seek chiropractic care for.
Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, also known as the peripheral nervous system. This can cause feelings of numbness or shooting pain to race down the legs. The nerve damage that causes neuropathy can also lead to issues in nerve function.
At SpineFix, we offer a variety of treatments to help those who have been diagnosed with neuropathy. Even those with a medical history of neuropathy can benefit from our treatments.
If you’re suffering from nerve issues as a result of neuropathy, schedule an appointment with SpineFix today. Our staff is ready to work with you to alleviate your condition.
Common Causes of Neuropathy
Understanding the potential causes of neuropathy can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing neuropathy, it can be helpful to understand the causes of the condition to identify what may have caused it to develop in you.
Neuropathy is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Autoimmune diseases
Some autoimmune diseases can make the body attack the nerves.
Injuries
Repeated or especially traumatic injuries can damage the nerves at the site of injury.
Toxins
Toxins in the body can damage nerves and cause neuropathy.
Infections
Viral and bacterial infections can cause neuropathy to develop if left untreated.
Vitamin Deficiencies
Low levels of certain key vitamins like B1, B6, and B12 can lead to neuropathy.
Kidney and Liver Disorders
When your body can't filter out toxins, chronic pain due to nerve damage is more likely to occur.
Diabetes
While more common for diabetic neuropathy, diabetes can cause nerve damage that manifests as peripheral nerve pain rather than chronic foot pain.
