Carrolltown chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.

July 03, 2018

Neuropathy pain is an annoying pain. It is sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the involved extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Carrolltown neuropathic pain sufferers many times observe themselves taking medications like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to reduce neuropathic pain as they are the most commonly prescribed ones. (1) Some patients react well. Some experience only minor pain relief. Some cannot take the drugs due to the unfavorable side-effects. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation understands this vexation. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation helps many Carrolltown neuropathy patients test out other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the Carrolltown neuropathic pain relief they desire.  

WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE ACCESSIBLE? WHY ARE THEY NOT USED MORE?

Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well be an important part – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study describes how sufficiently dosed nutraceuticals may play a helpful role in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may reveal itself as a result of different types of causes like diabetes, alcoholism, unspecific, or iatrogenic. Plus, 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 used for extended periods of time. Some patients stated that they experienced nausea and vomiting when ALA was taken at 1200 mg or more though. (1,2) Why then if doses can be adjusted are they not suggested or used more? They are not often covered by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not know much about what these options are and what benefits they may offer.  (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is well aware of such options. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation helps Carrolltown chiropractic patients find their way with these options to boost their benefits for Carrolltown pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins work. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of obstructing pain sensation and diminish chronic morphine tolerance. How is this helpful? The action of morphine is similar to the action of neuropathic pain, burning pain that tracks a nerve from the spine through an extremity like the leg or arm, coming to rest in the feet, toes, or fingers. B vitamins are reported to 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). Including B vitamins in the pain control drug schedule for a patient with neuropathic pain certainly could well be advantageous!
