Sitka chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.
Neuropathy pain is a bothersome pain. It’s sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the affected extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Sitka neuropathic pain sufferers often observe themselves consuming medications like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to relieve neuropathic pain as they are the most universally prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients react positively. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some cannot take them due to the unfavorable side-effects. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka understands this frustration. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka assists many Sitka neuropathy patients try other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the Sitka neuropathic pain relief they want.
WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE AVAILABLE? WHY ARE THEY NOT USED MORE?
Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well play a role – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study describes how 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 tolerated well when taken for extended periods of time. Some patients reported 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 covered by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not be familiar with what these options are and what benefits they may offer. (1) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is well informed of such options. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka helps Sitka chiropractic patients navigate these options to improve their benefits for Sitka pain relief.
ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS
B vitamins work. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of obstructing 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 follows a nerve from the spine through an extremity like the leg or arm, settling in the feet, toes, or fingers. B vitamins reportedly reduce 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 certainly could well be advantageous!
