Neuropathic pain is a number of disorders that occurs when the nerves of the part of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord are impaired. It typically causes pain and numbness in the hands and feet. New York City neuropathic pain patients may find that it results from injury, infections, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, and toxin exposure. Neuropathy may cause muscle movement due to nerve damage and also irritate nerves that affect internal organs such as the heart, blood vessels, urinary bladder and intestines. Neuropathic pain can be described as numbness, tingling, or burning. It may affect a single nerve, two or more nerves or result in more generalized pain as in diabetic neuropathy or Guillain-Barre syndrome. Neuropathy commonly affects both legs and feet. Onset may be sudden or gradual with muscle weakness, cramps, or spasm. Sufferers may find difficulty with walking, running, stumbling, and fatigue. Balance may be impaired.

None of these symptoms sound inviting, but your New York City chiropractic physician invites sufferers with these symptoms to Rosenberg Wellness Center. Confident that its New York City chiropractic care plan with Cox Technic spinal manipulation as a central part of it will relieve, Rosenberg Wellness Center looks forward to seeing you and assisting in your care.

How and who does neuropathy affect? Neuropathic pain tends to be higher in patients with conditions related to spinal cord damage and lower in patients with diseases that cause pain in other body parts.

Specifically, patients with chronic spinal pain, pain that lasts over 3 months, experience neuropathic pain by 53.3%.  Patients with specific conditions report neuropathic pain differently:

  • cervical spondylotic myelopathy (77.3%)
  • ligament ossification (75.7%)
