Relief is in sight!!! No Drugs, No Surgery, No Injections Sound to good to be true? Well it isn't.

At Positive Health and Wellness Chiropractic, we utilize the latest cutting edge therapies and technologies and have trained extensively on Neuropathy and Nerve Function. Our program works by addressing the underlying causes of Peripheral Neuropathy (blood ischemia and hypoxia) and not just masking the symptoms with drugs/medication.

The amount of treatments needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person. As long as there has not been at least 85% sustained nerve damage there is hope!

The best part of our natural Neuropathy Treatments is that majority of the treatments you can complete right in your own home! The program that we have developed you will not find anywhere else!

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy Nerve Damage

Neuropathy is a condition of the nervous system that typically causes numbness, tingling, burning, aching, and a variety of other symptoms. Many patients also report experiencing restless legs or throbbing, cramping pain in their hands or feet.

Neuropathy can result from problems such as traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes.

Poor blood circulation may also be a major contributing factor that leads to neuropathy. Diabetics are especially susceptible to neuropathy due to the damage high sugar levels may inflict on the small vessels responsible for delivering blood to the nerves. High glucose levels are believed to adversely affect the amount of oxygen provided to the nerves thus leading to neuropathy.

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral Neuropathy is a medical term that describes the problems that occur when your nerve endings are damaged. If you have had Peripheral Neuropathy pain for 3 years or less, your chance for relief is extremely high. If you have been diagnosed with with pain related to Neuropathy, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
