Peripheral Neuropathy Relief in Oakdale
Tingling, burning, and numbness in the hands or feet can make daily life feel like an uphill climb—something peripheral neuropathy sufferers know all too well. This condition affects millions, often causing frustrating symptoms that interfere with everyday life, from tying your shoes to simply walking.
“Peripheral neuropathy is basically degeneration of the nerves in the body. And when we say ‘peripheral,’ typically, this refers to the upper extremities, such as the hands and fingers, as well as the feet and toes, which are also involved. So it’s at the end of the nerves where we start to see the degeneration,” says Dr. Kriva.
Peripheral neuropathy is typically caused by nerve damage, often resulting from diabetes, but can also be caused by injuries or poor circulation. The damage usually appears at the ends of nerves, most commonly in the feet, toes, hands, or fingers. Some people describe it as a pins-and-needles sensation, others feel sharp, electric shocks, or intense burning. No matter how it shows up, it can be difficult to live with.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Chiropractic care aims to remove nerve interference at the root. When misalignments in the spine put pressure on the nerves, they can interrupt healthy function. Gentle, precise adjustments can help relieve this pressure, allowing the nervous system to better support healing from within.
Adding Shockwave Therapy
To support and accelerate nerve regeneration, we also offer shockwave therapy. This non-invasive approach uses sound waves (not electrical shocks) to stimulate tissue repair and nerve growth—especially helpful in cases where damage is located far from the spine, like in the toes or fingertips.
