Nerve pain is neuropathy. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation treats Baton Rouge
neuropathy with Baton Rouge chiropractic care. Burning, stabbing, numb
pain in the arms, hands, feet, leg, toes, fingers is neuropathic pain. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
often sees neuropathy with Baton Rouge back pain and sciatica. Neuropathy
is caused by a variety of likely
issues like pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, or pressure from a herniated disc.
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation treats all of these conditions without surgery and with Cox Technic as part of a
Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan. If a nerve is compressed,
neuropathy may follow. Neuropathy may spread to
the hands and feet subject to the nerve being
irritated. Neuropathy hurts. Neuropathy heals bit
by bit. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation may well relieve its painful grip on you.
Causes and Symptoms of Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is one type of neuropathy Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
gets to diagnose and care for in Baton Rouge neck and back pain
patients. Peripheral neuropathy develops out of damage
to peripheral nerves. These nerves are part of the nervous system that delivers
information from your brain to your spinal cord (which is the central
nervous system) and then out to the rest of the body. That potentially lets peripheral neuropathy go all the way to your
toes and fingers. It may be caused by unexpected
trauma or injury or by repetitive stress owing to compression type
injuries from performing certain activities repeatedly that irritate and inflame joints, tendons and muscles. Baton Rouge patients will describe
peripheral neuropathy as a tingling sensation or sharp,
stabbing pain or a numbness or a burning sensation in the hands or feet or as a
clumsiness that has you dropping things constantly. (1) Whatever
its sensation, peripheral neuropathy may be unsettling, may leave if the peripheral nervous system has the opportunity to
heal itself after injury or the source of the peripheral neuropathy is discovered
and treated, or may be helped heal. This
is where Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation comes into play to identify
the source of the neuropathy and share Baton Rouge chiropractic
care to take care of it and reduce the irritation on
the nerves. One article even shares
that 28 days of compression causes disc degeneration while 28 days of
decompression reverses it. (2) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation uses Cox
Technic to do this!
Healing Ability of Nerves in Neuropathy
Interestingly, peripheral nerves have a
remarkable ability to regenerate themselves
after injury. It takes time. One author explains that
these nerves regenerate a millimeter a day (about an inch a month), so if the damaged
nerve extends from your spine to your toes, it
may take a while. (3) Researchers state
that good but incomplete recovery comes about over 2 to 3
years for most patients with sciatic neuropathy (due to spinal nerve
compression). Moderate improvement of the symptoms happens in 30% of
sciatic neuropathy patients by 1 year, 50% by 2 years and 75% by 3 years. (4) In
a review of published research concerning
neuropathic pain, researchers record that 37% of chronic
low back pain (that lasting more than 3 months) cases and 41% of soft tissue
syndromes (like ligament or muscle tears) experience neuropathic pain.
