Causes and Symptoms of Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a type of neuropathy Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
sees in West Des Moines neck and back pain
patients. Peripheral neuropathy stems from damage
to peripheral nerves. These nerves are part of the nervous system that sends
info from your brain to your spinal cord (which is the central
nervous system) and then out to the rest of the body. That’s how peripheral neuropathy may extend to your
toes and fingers. It may be brought on by sudden
trauma or injury or by repetitive stress due to compression type
injuries from doing certain activities over and
over that bother and inflame joints, tendons and muscles. Peripheral neuropathy is often described by
West Des Moines chiropractic patients as a tingling sensation or sharp,
stabbing pain or a numbness or a burning sensation in the hands or feet or as a
clumsiness that has you dropping things all the time. (1) Whatever
its sensation, peripheral neuropathy may be disruptive, may go
away if the peripheral nervous system has a chance to
heal itself after injury or the source of the peripheral neuropathy is found
and remedied, or may be assisted in healing. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa comes in here to find
the source of the neuropathy and offer West Des Moines chiropractic
care to address it and ease the irritated nerves. One article even shares
that 28 days of compression causes disc degeneration while 28 days of
decompression reverses it. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers Cox
Technic to do this!
Healing Ability of Nerves in Neuropathy
Curiously, peripheral nerves have an amazing knack for regenerating themselves
after injury. It will take time. One author explains that
these nerves regenerate a millimeter a day (about an inch a month), so if the nerve that is damaged goes from your spine to your toes, that may take more time. (3) Researchers report
that good but incomplete recovery happens over 2 to 3
years for most patients with sciatic neuropathy (due to spinal nerve
compression). Moderate improvement of the symptoms occurs in 30% of
sciatic neuropathy patients by 1 year, 50% by 2 years and 75% by 3 years. (4) In
a review of published evidence about
neuropathic pain, researchers detail that 37% of chronic
low back pain (that lasting more than 3 months) cases and 41% of soft tissue
syndromes (like ligament or muscle tears) have neuropathic pain.
