Peripheral Neuropathy treatment in Colorado Springs

NeuroTCC logo

Peripheral Neuropathy is a term used to describe nerve damage or nerve death. This can be found in the large nerves which branch from the spinal cord or the small nerves found in the skin covering the body. Large nerves carry motor neurons for muscle movement, sensory neurons for pain, light touch, and environmental awareness, and autonomic nerves which control all of the organs found within the body. Smith Chiropractic is one of the only chiropractic clinics offering Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in Colorado Springs.

Damage to these nerves can cause pain, numbness, weakness or nonfunctioning muscle, and organ pathology to the point of shut down or death. Small nerve fibers can be found in the skin from the top of the head to the tip of the fingers and toes. If these small microscopic nerves become damaged the usual symptoms include pain, numbness, burning or freezing, or electrical crawling pain.

Our clinic uses state of the art FDA approved laser therapy and electrical stimulation to initiate healing of the small nerve fibers and chiropractic adjustments to decrease pressure on nerves exiting the spine. Normal medical treatment for small nerve fiber peripheral neuropathy includes medications including anti-seizure and anti-depressants. These medications are used to decrease symptoms but do not work to correct the condition. We at Smith Chiropractic in Colorado Springs have a 90% satisfaction rate with patients receiving treatment for peripheral neuropathy.
