Ashburn and Herndon 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. Ashburn and Herndon neuropathic pain sufferers many times find themselves taking medications like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to relieve neuropathic pain as they are the most universally prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients respond positively. Some experience only minor pain relief. Some can’t take the drugs due to the adverse side-effects. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn appreciates this vexation. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn helps many Ashburn and Herndon neuropathy patients try other ways to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to get the Ashburn and Herndon neuropathic pain relief they want.
WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE AVAILABLE? WHY ARE THEY NOT USED MORE?
Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well be an important part – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study reports that sufficiently dosed nutraceuticals may play a helpful role in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may show up due to 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 taken for extended periods of time. Some patients stated that they had 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 are not often covered by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not be familiar with what these options are and what benefits they may offer. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is well informed of such options. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn helps Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients navigate these options to boost their benefits for Ashburn and Herndon pain relief.
ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS
B vitamins work. How? B vitamins enhance the effectiveness of morphine’s pain-relieving effect of blocking pain sensation and diminish chronic morphine tolerance. How is this helpful? The action of morphine is like the action of neuropathic pain, burning pain that tracks a nerve from the spine through an extremity like the leg or arm, settling in the feet, toes, or fingers. B vitamins are reported to lessen 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 schedule for a patient with neuropathic pain may well be advantageous!
