Williamson chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.
Neuropathy pain is a bothersome pain. It is sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the affected extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Williamson neuropathic pain sufferers often observe themselves consuming drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to relieve neuropathic pain as they are the most commonly prescribed ones. (1) Some patients react positively. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some cannot take them because of the unfavorable side-effects. Apple Country Chiropractic recognizes this vexation. Apple Country Chiropractic helps many Williamson neuropathy patients test out other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to get the Williamson 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 adequately dosed nutraceuticals may be helpful in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may reveal itself 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 stomached well when used for extended periods of time. Some patients stated that they experienced nausea and vomiting when ALA was taken at 1200 mg or more though. (1,2) Why then if doses can be adjusted are they not suggested or used more? They are not often paid for by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not know much about what these options are and what benefits they may offer. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic is well aware of such options. Apple Country Chiropractic helps Williamson chiropractic patients find their way with these options to optimize their benefits for Williamson pain relief.
ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS
B vitamins work. How? B vitamins enhance the effectiveness of morphine’s pain-relieving effect of stopping pain sensation and reduce chronic morphine tolerance. How is this beneficial? 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, settling in the feet, toes, or fingers. B vitamins reportedly 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!
