Manahawkin chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.
Neuropathy pain is an annoying pain. It’s sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the affected extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Manahawkin neuropathic pain sufferers often find themselves taking drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to relieve neuropathic pain as they are the most universally prescribed ones. (1) Some patients react well. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some can’t take them because of the adverse side-effects. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center appreciates this frustration. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps many Manahawkin neuropathy patients try other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the Manahawkin neuropathic pain relief they desire.
WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE AVAILABLE? WHY AREN’T THEY USED MORE?
Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well play a role – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study describes how adequately dosed nutraceuticals may be helpful in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may show up as a result of different types of reasons 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 tolerated 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 be familiar with what these options are and what benefits they may offer. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is well aware of such options. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps Manahawkin chiropractic patients navigate these options to boost their benefits for Manahawkin pain relief.
ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS
B vitamins perform. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of blocking pain sensation and reduce chronic morphine tolerance. How is this good? 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 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). Adding B vitamins to the pain control drug routine for a patient with neuropathic pain may well be advantageous! (3) And Manahawkin Chiropractic Center mixes nutrition with its spinal manipulation Cox® Technic protocols for Manahawkin neuropathy patients to experience neuropathic pain relief.
