What's happening
Understanding peripheral neuropathy
Neuropathy is nerve damage or irritation that causes burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness, most often in the hands and feet.
How chiropractic care helps
- Drug-free support for nerve symptoms
- Relief from compression-related neuropathy
- Less burning, tingling, and numbness
- Care that targets the nerve pathway
- Support for balance and function
- A coordinated plan with your physician
Why nerves misfire
Peripheral neuropathy happens when nerves, often in the hands and feet, are damaged or irritated and start sending faulty signals: burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness. The cause can be compression along the nerve's path, or a systemic issue like diabetes, which is why a careful assessment matters.
How we help with neuropathy
When compression along the spine or limbs is contributing, we use targeted, gentle adjustments and supportive therapies to relieve that pressure and support healthier nerve function. We'll always coordinate with your physician for the medical side of the picture.
Supporting nerve health
We pair care with guidance on movement, circulation, and habits that support nerve health, and we're honest about what chiropractic can and can't do for your specific cause of neuropathy.
