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

July 03, 2018

Neuropathy pain is an annoying pain. It is sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the affected extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Auburn neuropathic pain sufferers many times find themselves consuming drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to relieve neuropathic pain as they are the most commonly prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients respond well. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some cannot take the drugs due to the adverse side-effects. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. recognizes this frustration. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. helps many Auburn neuropathy patients try other ways to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to get the Auburn neuropathic pain relief they desire.  

WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE ACCESSIBLE? WHY ARE THEY NOT USED MORE?

Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well be an important part – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study describes how sufficiently dosed nutraceuticals may be helpful in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may show up due to 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 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 adjusted aren’t they suggested or used more? They’re 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) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is well informed of such options. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. helps Auburn chiropractic patients navigate these options to optimize their benefits for Auburn pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins work. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of blocking pain sensation and reduce chronic morphine tolerance. How is this helpful? The action of morphine is similar 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 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 schedule for a patient with neuropathic pain may well be beneficial!
