Fernandina Beach chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.

July 03, 2018

Neuropathy pain is a bothersome pain. It is sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the involved extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Fernandina Beach neuropathic pain sufferers many times find themselves taking drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to control neuropathic pain as they are the most commonly prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients respond positively. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some can’t take them because of the unfavorable side-effects. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic recognizes this vexation. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic assists many Fernandina Beach neuropathy patients try other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to get the Fernandina Beach neuropathic pain relief they desire.  

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 reveal itself due to different types of reasons like diabetes, alcoholism, unspecific, or iatrogenic. Additionally, 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 long 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 recommended 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) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is well aware of such options. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic helps Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients navigate these options to optimize their benefits for Fernandina Beach pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins perform. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s painkilling effect of stopping pain sensation and reduce chronic morphine tolerance. How is this beneficial? The action of morphine is comparable to the action of neuropathic pain, burning pain that tracks a nerve from the spine through an extremity like the leg or arm, coming to rest 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). Including B vitamins in the pain control drug schedule for a patient with neuropathic pain may well be beneficial! (3) And Amelia Chiropractic Clinic combines nutrition with its spinal manipulation Cox® Technic protocols for Fernandina Beach neuropathy patients to uncover neuropathic pain relief.
