Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves in the hands, feet, arms, and legs and can make daily activities challenging. This condition often develops when chemotherapy affects nerve function, causing the nerves to send mixed signals to the brain and body. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, burning sensations, weakness, sensitivity to touch, or pain that spreads along the limbs. These symptoms can make walking, gripping objects, or performing routine tasks uncomfortable and often unsafe. A chiropractor focuses on how the spine and nervous system are working and how nerve function affects the body’s overall movement and balance. Through focused treatment, a chiropractor can help to improve joint motion, reduce nerve stress, and support better function, without surgery. If you are experiencing tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a chiropractor to discuss non-surgical relief. 

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a condition affecting the peripheral nerves, often resulting in sensations of numbness, tingling, burning, or sharp pain, typically in the hands or feet. This condition can stem from diabetes, infections, physical trauma, or other underlying health issues, disrupting the body’s ability to send and receive signals between the nervous system and various parts of the body. Neuropathy can interfere with daily life, making even simple tasks uncomfortable or painful.

Chiropractic care

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to managing neuropathy symptoms by focusing on improving nerve function and reducing pressure on affected nerves. Through gentle adjustments to the spine or other impacted areas, chiropractors aim to relieve nerve compression, potentially alleviating symptoms and supporting healthier nerve pathways.

Some chiropractors may also suggest dietary adjustments and other lifestyle changes to support nerve health and reduce symptoms of neuropathy, encouraging circulation and reducing inflammation around the nerves.

Feeling tired at work is a common concern and can be caused by both physical and emotional factors. Poor posture, prolonged sitting, and repetitive movements can strain the spine and muscles, leading to fatigue and discomfort. Emotional stress also plays a major role, as feeling depressed or anxious can drain energy and reduce focus throughout the day. Ongoing pressure to perform or fear of failure may add to mental exhaustion and create tension in the body. When stress and physical strain combine, the result is often constant tiredness that affects productivity and overall well-being. A chiropractor can help by improving spinal alignment, reducing muscle tension, and supporting better posture, which may improve energy levels and comfort. Chiropractic care may also help the body respond more effectively to stress. If work-related fatigue is affecting your daily life, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a chiropractor to restore balance, improve function, and feel more energized through natural relief techniques.

Experiencing ongoing stress and low energy can wear down both body and mind, making even routine tasks feel overwhelming. The body’s stress response, designed for short bursts of activity, can exhaust physical and mental reserves when constantly activated, leaving a feeling of fatigue and burnout.

Chiropractic care offers a supportive way to manage these challenges by focusing on the body's alignment and nervous system function. Misalignment in the spine can increase tension, disrupting nerve signals and possibly contributing to feelings of low energy. Gentle adjustments can help relieve this tension, supporting better nervous system communication, which may encourage relaxation and boost energy levels.
Incorporating chiropractic care into a wellness routine can offer a holistic approach to managing stress and low energy, emphasizing balance, relaxation, and overall vitality for a more energized and resilient life.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Common risk factors include repetitive hand motions, prolonged computer use and poor wrist posture, in addition to pregnancy, diabetes, arthritis, and occupations requiring frequent gripping. Causes often involve inflammation, tendon irritation, or structural changes that increase pressure within the carpal tunnel. A chiropractor can help by addressing wrist, elbow, shoulder, and spinal alignment to reduce nerve stress, improve joint mobility, and enhance circulation. Gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and ergonomic guidance may relieve symptoms and support healing. If wrist or hand discomfort is affecting your daily activities, it is suggested that you schedule a chiropractic evaluation to begin a personalized, noninvasive approach toward lasting relief and improved hand function.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments, and when it becomes compressed or inflamed, it can put pressure on the nerve. Symptoms of CTS include tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers, often making simple tasks difficult and uncomfortable.

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach to managing CTS by addressing alignment and reducing nerve pressure. Chiropractors start by evaluating the wrist, elbow, and even the cervical spine or neck, as misalignments in these areas can contribute to nerve compression in the wrist. Through gentle adjustments, chiropractors can improve the alignment of the wrist and spine, helping to reduce the pressure on the median nerve.

In addition to adjustments, chiropractors may use soft tissue therapy, such as stretching and myofascial release, to reduce inflammation surrounding the wrist and enhance mobility.

Why Consider Chiropractic for CTS?

Chiropractic care can provide lasting relief by targeting the root causes of CTS, reducing pain, and promoting long-term hand and wrist health.

Can Chiropractic Care Address Repetitive Strain as a Cause of CTS?

Chiropractic care can help manage repetitive strain by improving joint alignment and recommending ergonomic adjustments.
