Neurological (Nerve) Conditions
Neurological conditions such as headaches, neuritis (inflammation of any part of a nerve, other than the nerve root), and radiculitis (inflammation of a nerve root as it exits the spine) are the most commonly treated neurological cases in the chiropractic profession.
Radiculitis is a common source of shoulder, arm and hand pain. With neuritis, patients sometimes experience sensations called paresthesias (feelings of tingling, hot spots, cold spots, crawling sensations, stinging, and burning).
Treatment of Neurological (Nerve) Conditions
Because neurological problems can be extremely serious and even life-threatening, these situations often call for a referral or co-management with other health-care professionals. In many instances, once the appropriate tests and procedures have been performed, it is often safe to go ahead with conservative Chiropractic care. Even though Chiropractic may not 'cure' some conditions, it has shown in case studies and research that Chiropractic care may help with managing the effects, symptoms, and quality of life of sufferers of conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Epilepsy and many others. |
