Richmond 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 involved extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Richmond neuropathic pain sufferers many times find themselves consuming drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to control neuropathic pain since they are the most universally prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients react well. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some can’t take them because of the adverse side-effects. Johnson Chiropractic understands this frustration. Johnson Chiropractic helps many Richmond neuropathy patients test out other ways to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to get the Richmond neuropathic pain relief they want.  

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 sufficiently dosed nutraceuticals may play a helpful role in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may reveal itself due to various 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 reported nausea and vomiting when ALA was used 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 might deliver.  (1) Johnson Chiropractic is well aware of such options. Johnson Chiropractic helps Richmond chiropractic patients navigate these options to boost their benefits for Richmond pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins perform. How? B vitamins enhance the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of blocking pain sensation and lessen chronic morphine tolerance. How is this helpful? The action of morphine is comparable to the action of neuropathic pain, burning pain that follows 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 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 routine for a patient with neuropathic pain may well be advantageous! (3) And Johnson Chiropractic combines nutrition with its spinal manipulation Cox® Technic protocols for Richmond neuropathy patients to uncover neuropathic pain relief.
