Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that manifests itself as pain, tingling, burning and numbness in your feet, legs and hands. While most common in diabetics there are multiple causes of the condition including: thyroid disease, vitamin B issues, Lyme disease, kidney disease, anemia, alcoholism and some statin drugs. If you are suffering from this condition, the team at Robinson Family Chiropractic can help. Providing peripheral neuropathy diagnosis and treatment, our chiropractors Dr. Richard Robinson and Dr. Nicholas Cone can prevent nerve damage before it progresses too far.

 

Through our neuropathy program, patients who are suspected to have peripheral neuropathy can receive a skin biopsy, which is important for diagnosing neuropathy in small nerve fibers and also for following the progression of the patient’s condition during treatment. Once peripheral neuropathy has been diagnosed, Dr. Robinson can continue with treatment, which often includes cold laser therapy and vibration therapy.  In addition to alleviating the symptoms of the condition, chiropractic treatments for peripheral neuropathy can also prevent further nerve damage. If it is left untreated, neuropathy can lead to more serious complications that can require amputation.

Sports Massage

Incorporating permanent healthy choices into your lifestyle is the best way to lose and maintain weight and reduce risks such as diabetes and high-blood pressure.
