Neuropathy Treatment in Frisco
Numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, pain, and a burning sensation in the feet—these are some of the definitive symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. This condition, caused by damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves, can progress rapidly if left untreated, potentially resulting in severe complications like tissue death and permanent loss of function.
Once nerve damage surpasses 20%, symptoms worsen progressively. At 85% damage, the condition often becomes chronic and irreversible. Addressing the problem early is critical to prevent its escalation and preserve quality of life.
The Challenges of
Conventional Care
Traditional medical approaches to pain relief often rely heavily on prescription medications. These drugs may temporarily mask the pain but do little to address the root causes of the condition. As a result, patients often experience limited relief and continue to struggle with the debilitating effects of this chronic condition.
Innovative and Natural Solutions
Our clinic offers a comprehensive management protocol that delivers real results. Dr. Matt, board-certified in neuropathy care since 2019, leads our program, which includes at-home therapies emphasizing nutrition, supplementation, and holistic care.
For example, one patient regained full sensation and functionality after three months of diligent adherence to the protocol. He overcame years of neuropathy-related limitations, allowing him to drive again and enjoy playing with his grandchildren.
Examining Lesser-Known Symptoms of Neuropathy
Beyond the common symptoms, neuropathy may cause subtle issues such as:
- Balance and Coordination Problems — Misaligned vertebrae may affect proprioception, causing instability. Chiropractic care helps restore alignment, aiding in improved balance.
- Digestive Disturbances — Nerve damage can impact gut function, but our adjustments to the thoracic spine may help regulate digestion.
- Skin Changes and Temperature Sensitivity — Nerve issues may cause dryness or altered temperature perception. Chiropractic care can help alleviate these problems by improving circulation and nerve function.
- Sleep Issues — Neuropathy pain often worsens at night, disturbing sleep. Spinal adjustments may reduce nerve irritation and promote better rest.
One of Dr. Matt’s patients suffered from neuropathy for a long time. This gentleman was unable to play with his many grandkids. His neuropathy was so bad that he could stand on a hot asphalt surface but couldn’t even feel the ground with his feet. This patient also could reach into a hot oven and pick up a scalding skillet and not even feel it. As a result, he would have blistering third-degree burns on his hands and on his feet.
The man had gotten to the point where he couldn’t drive a car because he couldn’t feel the pedals underneath his feet. Being unable to drive, this patient had to rely on his family and his neighbors to drive him around. He felt like he was a burden to them.
Now for the good news: within three months of active care at our practice, including following our protocol to a T, the man regained full function and could feel everything. He was able to drive a car again and get out and play with his grandkids.
What are common causes of neuropathy?
Neuropathy is most commonly due to diabetes; however, other causes include alcohol, drug use, chemotherapy, Agent Orange, and prescription medications, particularly statins and blood pressure medication.
Nutrition is vital because it can help the body heal itself. When it comes to nutrition, the biggest thing is the nitric oxide component. With proper nutrition you can open up the blood vessels so that you can get oxygen and nutrients to the nerves. For those with diabetes, in particular, it’s crucial to manage your nutrition and your diet.
