Oxford 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 affected extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Oxford neuropathic pain sufferers many times observe themselves consuming drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to control neuropathic pain since they are the most universally prescribed ones. (1) Some patients react positively. Some experience only a little pain relief. Some can’t take the drugs due to the unfavorable side-effects. Satterwhite Chiropractic recognizes this vexation. Satterwhite Chiropractic helps many Oxford neuropathy patients test out other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the Oxford neuropathic pain relief they desire.  

WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE AVAILABLE? WHY AREN’T THEY USED MORE?

Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well play a role – 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 various 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 long 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 recommended or used more? They are not usually paid for by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not be familiar with what these options are and what benefits they may offer.  (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic is well informed of such options. Satterwhite Chiropractic helps Oxford chiropractic patients find their way with these options to improve their benefits for Oxford pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins work. How? B vitamins enhance the effectiveness of morphine’s painkilling effect of stopping pain sensation and reduce chronic morphine tolerance. How is this good? 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, 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 certainly could well be beneficial! (3) And Satterwhite Chiropractic combines nutrition with its spinal manipulation Cox® Technic protocols for Oxford neuropathy patients to uncover neuropathic pain relief.
