La Grande chiropractic care of neuropathy pain with nutrition like B vitamins and spinal manipulation.

July 03, 2018

Neuropathy pain is an annoying pain. It’s sharp, throbbing, burning pain making the affected extremity - be it the feet or hands, toes, fingers, legs - sensitive to even touch. La Grande neuropathic pain sufferers many times observe themselves taking medications like anticonvulsants and antidepressants and opioids to reduce neuropathic pain since they are the most commonly prescribed drugs. (1) Some patients respond well. Some experience only slight pain relief. Some cannot take them because of the unfavorable side-effects. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC understands this vexation. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC helps many La Grande neuropathy patients test out other ways to pain relief like nutrition (particularly B vitamins) and spinal manipulation to attain the La Grande neuropathic pain relief they want.  

WHAT DRUG ALTERNATIVES ARE ACCESSIBLE? WHY AREN’T THEY USED MORE?

Nutraceuticals – like vitamin supplements – may well be an important part – supportive or primary – in managing pain. One study reports that sufficiently dosed nutraceuticals may play a helpful role in managing peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy may show up due to different types of causes like diabetes, alcoholism, unspecific, or iatrogenic. Plus, these compounds like Vitamin B complex, alpha lipoic acid, L-acetyl carnitine, vitamin E, magnesium, gamma linolenic acid, capsaicin, and Coenzyme Q were tolerated well when taken for extended periods of time. Some patients stated that they had nausea and vomiting when ALA was taken at 1200 mg or more though. (1,2) Why then if doses can be altered aren’t they suggested or used more? They are not often paid for by insurance, and patients, and doctors may not be familiar with what these options are and what benefits they may might deliver.  (1) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is well aware of such options. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC helps La Grande chiropractic patients find their way with these options to improve their benefits for La Grande pain relief.

ONE GOOD OPTION: B VITAMINS

B vitamins perform. How? B vitamins enhance the effectiveness of morphine’s analgesic effect of obstructing pain sensation and diminish chronic morphine tolerance. How is this beneficial? The action of morphine is comparable to the action of neuropathic pain, burning pain that tracks a nerve from the spine through an extremity like the leg or arm, settling in the feet, toes, or fingers. B vitamins are reported to lessen neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury, sensory neuron inflammation/compression as well as transient spinal cord ischemia (temporary blockage of blood supply to the spinal cord). Including B vitamins in the pain control drug schedule for a patient with neuropathic pain certainly could well be advantageous!
