Causes and Symptoms of Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a type of neuropathy OrthoIllinois Chiropractic sees in McHenry neck and back pain patients. Peripheral neuropathy stems from damage to peripheral nerves. These nerves are part of the nervous system that sends info from your brain to your spinal cord (which is the central nervous system) and then out to the rest of the body. That’s how peripheral neuropathy may extend to your toes and fingers. It may be brought on by sudden trauma or injury or by repetitive stress due to compression type injuries from doing certain activities over and over that bother and inflame joints, tendons and muscles. Peripheral neuropathy is often described by McHenry chiropractic patients as a tingling sensation or sharp, stabbing pain or a numbness or a burning sensation in the hands or feet or as a clumsiness that has you dropping things all the time. (1) Whatever its sensation, peripheral neuropathy may be disruptive, may go away if the peripheral nervous system has a chance to heal itself after injury or the source of the peripheral neuropathy is found and remedied, or may be assisted in healing. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic comes in here to find the source of the neuropathy and offer McHenry chiropractic care to address it and ease the irritated nerves.

Healing Ability of Nerves in Neuropathy
Curiously, peripheral nerves have an amazing knack for regenerating themselves after injury. It will take time. One author explains that these nerves regenerate a millimeter a day (about an inch a month), so if the nerve that is damaged goes from your spine to your toes, that may take more time. (3) Researchers report that good but incomplete recovery happens over 2 to 3 years for most patients with sciatic neuropathy (due to spinal nerve compression). Moderate improvement of the symptoms occurs in 30% of sciatic neuropathy patients by 1 year, 50% by 2 years and 75% by 3 years. (4) In a review of published evidence about neuropathic pain, researchers detail that 37% of chronic low back pain (that lasting more than 3 months) cases and 41% of soft tissue syndromes (like ligament or muscle tears) have neuropathic pain.
