Do you constantly feel like you have pins and needles in your feet? This could be a sign of neuropathy.

Vertebral subluxations can sometimes have compensatory and secondary sequelae.  Among these can be may be nerve entrapments or neuropathies.  Peripheral neuropathy is a progressive disease of the nervous system. This disease causes numbness, tingling, burning and sharp pain in hands, feet, and toes. It can also cause restless leg syndrome, chronic lower back pain, and sciatica.

The peripheral nerve exits the spinal cord and reaches right down to your extremities – hands, legs, feet, and toes. If the damage of the small nerves that go to the hands, feet, and toes occurs, this can cause numbness, tingling, burning, and sharp pain. Many patients with peripheral neuropathy are diabetic, or are taking statin drugs (treating cholesterol), or are chemotherapy patients. Here at Modern Chiropractic, we see many people that are frustrated and not knowing where to turn – they’ve tried drugs and treatments with no relief.

Modern Chiropractic uses a combination of laser treatment, nutritional and chiropractic care to help restore quality of life to those with peripheral neuropathy.
