Vancouver 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. Vancouver neuropathic pain sufferers often observe themselves consuming drugs like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to control neuropathic pain since they are the most commonly prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients react positively. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some cannot take them because of the adverse side-effects. Vancouver Disc Centers understands this annoyance. Vancouver Disc Centers helps many Vancouver neuropathy patients try other means to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the Vancouver 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 adequately 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 used for long periods of time. Some patients stated that they experienced nausea and vomiting when ALA was used at 1200 mg or more though. (1,2) Why then if doses can be altered 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 might deliver.  (1) Vancouver Disc Centers is well informed of such options. Vancouver Disc Centers helps Vancouver chiropractic patients find their way with these options to optimize their benefits for Vancouver pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins perform. How? B vitamins enhance the effectiveness of morphine’s painkilling effect of stopping pain sensation and weaken 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 lessen 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 routine for a patient with neuropathic pain may well be beneficial! (3) And Vancouver Disc Centers mixes nutrition with its spinal manipulation Cox® Technic protocols for Vancouver neuropathy patients to experience neuropathic pain relief.
