Peripheral Neuropathy: There is a treatment!

By Richard Hiler, DABCN

NeuropathyDo you have numbness or tingling in your arms, hands, legs, feet, or toes? Perhaps you are dealing with inflammation, restless legs, or burning sensations. If you have any of these issues, it’s essential to seek medical attention as these are frequently warning signs of peripheral neuropathy. It’s not uncommon; 20 million Americans have peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral nerves run from the spinal cord to the arms, hands, legs, and feet. If the nerves are damaged due to injury or disease, it can cause some of the following symptoms:

Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms
• Numbness
• Tingling
• Burning sensations
• Painful aching
• Balance issues
• Skin discoloration & texture changes
• Muscle cramps
• Feelings of stiffness or pressure
• Non-healing foot & ankle ulcers
• Cold feet
• Walking on marshmallows (sensations)

Many times, peripheral neuropathy is related to cancer treatment, medications, spinal injuries, or diabetes. In the case of diabetes, there is an extremely high storage of glucose; Glucose damages many organs in the body but also has a severely adverse effect on nerves. This nerve damage happens because the small blood vessels, which supply blood and nutrients to the nerves, becomes impaired. When the nerves are no longer fed nutrients, they either die, or their signals to the brain are ineffective. Symptoms of numbness, tingling, stumbling, and foot injuries are common. The lack of brain signaling from the nerve endings makes it difficult for a person to feel pain in their foot, so often, injuries and these disorders are overlooked.

There are viable ways to treat your condition’s root cause and not just mask symptoms with pain medications, which is unfortunately what many providers will recommend.

You Don’t Need Addictive Drugs—You Need to Treat the Cause of The Neuropathy
The most common treatment for nerve pain and numbness is to mask it with narcotic prescription pain medications. Narcotics like Opioids are highly addictive, and our state is currently leading the country in abusing the drug and overdose episodes.

Your Options
Physical medicine provides alternative therapeutic and rehabilitating procedures can significantly improve the condition, offer pain relief and limit drug dependency.
