Toronto 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 involved extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. Toronto neuropathic pain sufferers often observe themselves using medications like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to reduce 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 them due to the adverse side-effects. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre appreciates this frustration. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre helps many Toronto neuropathy patients test out other ways to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to get the Toronto 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 reports that adequately dosed nutraceuticals may play a helpful role 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 stomached well when taken for long periods of time. Some patients stated that they had 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 are not usually 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) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is well informed of such options. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre helps Toronto chiropractic patients find their way with these options to improve their benefits for Toronto pain relief.
ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS
B vitamins perform. How? B vitamins improve the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of blocking pain sensation and diminish 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, 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!
