Neuropathy is a loose term that defines nerve damage. A defect in the peripheral nervous system causes these symptoms. It can develop from injury or poor lifestyle choices. As mentioned, it’s often seen in diabetic patients.

When a patient has diabetes, high blood glucose levels damage the organs. Blood circulation is limited, resulting in fluid retention and swollen tissues. This then compresses the peripheral nerves. The results are the negative neuropathy symptoms that the patient complains of.

Chiropractic treatment at Nitro, WV, can diminish if not eliminate your peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Jay McClanahan specializes in treating the nervous and musculoskeletal system. Instead of trying to mask your symptoms with medications, he focuses on the root of the problem. The nervous system is located in the spine. An evaluation determines any abnormalities in the spine that are worsening your symptoms.

The best form of treatment is the spinal adjustment. Dr. McClanahan moves any misaligned vertebrae back into place. These can pinch your nerves, aggravating your symptoms. The uneven pressure from misalignment also leads to neuropathy. By correcting the problem, your symptoms are relieved.
