McHenry chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.
Neuropathy pain is a bothersome pain. It’s sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the involved extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. McHenry neuropathic pain sufferers often find themselves taking drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to control neuropathic pain since they are the most commonly prescribed ones. (1) Some patients react well. Some experience only a little pain relief. Some cannot take the drugs because of the adverse side-effects. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic recognizes this frustration. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic assists many McHenry neuropathy patients test out other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the McHenry neuropathic pain relief they want.
WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE ACCESSIBLE? WHY ARE THEY NOT USED MORE?
Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well play a role – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study describes how sufficiently dosed nutraceuticals may be helpful in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may show up due to different types of reasons like diabetes, alcoholism, unspecific, or iatrogenic. Additionally, these compounds like Vitamin B complex, alpha lipoic acid, L-acetyl carnitine, vitamin E, magnesium, gamma linolenic acid, capsaicin, and Coenzyme Q were stomached well when taken for extended periods of time. Some patients reported nausea and vomiting when ALA was taken at 1200 mg or more though. (1,2) Why then if doses can be altered aren’t they suggested or used more? They’re not usually covered by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not know much about what these options are and what benefits they may might deliver. (1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is well informed of such options. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic helps McHenry chiropractic patients navigate these options to improve their benefits for McHenry pain relief.
ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS
B vitamins work. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s pain-relieving effect of blocking pain sensation and weaken chronic morphine tolerance. How is this beneficial? The action of morphine is like the action of neuropathic pain, burning pain that follows a nerve from the spine through an extremity like the leg or arm, coming to rest in the feet, toes, or fingers. B vitamins reportedly weaken neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury, sensory neuron inflammation/compression as well as transient spinal cord ischemia (temporary blockage of blood supply to the spinal cord). Adding B vitamins to the pain control drug routine for a patient with neuropathic pain certainly could well be beneficial! (3) And OrthoIllinois Chiropractic mixes nutrition with its spinal manipulation Cox® Technic protocols for McHenry neuropathy patients to discover neuropathic pain relief.
