Neuropathy, or Peripheral Neuropathy, refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves—those outside the brain and spinal cord. It can significantly disrupt everyday life, causing pain, weakness, and numbness, often in the hands and feet. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, our integrated approach using chiropractic care and physiotherapy offers effective, non-invasive options to support nerve health and function.
What Is Neuropathy?
The peripheral nervous system acts as a communication network between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. When these nerves are damaged, signals can be disrupted or misinterpreted, leading to symptoms such as:
- Burning, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensations
- Numbness, especially in the hands or feet
- Sharp or shooting pains
- Muscle weakness or cramping
- Poor balance or coordination
- Sensitivity to touch
Neuropathy can affect a single nerve (mononeuropathy), multiple nerves (polyneuropathy), or nerves on one side of the body (multifocal neuropathy).
Common Causes Of Neuropathy
Neuropathy isn’t a condition in itself but a symptom of an underlying issue. Some of the most common causes include:
- Diabetes mellitus – a leading cause of chronic nerve damage
- Trauma or injury – including repetitive strain or compression
- Autoimmune diseases – such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis
- Vitamin deficiencies – particularly B12 and folate
- Infections – including shingles, Lyme disease, or HIV
- Toxins – alcohol, chemotherapy drugs, or industrial chemicals
Understanding the root cause is crucial to developing an effective treatment strategy.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Neuropathy
Chiropractic treatment focuses on optimising the function of the nervous system. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, our chiropractors use gentle adjustments and soft tissue techniques to:
- Improve spinal alignment and reduce nerve compression
- Enhance circulation to promote nerve regeneration
- Alleviate musculoskeletal strain that may be an aggravating factor
- Support posture and movement patterns that reduce nerve irritation
By addressing spinal and joint restrictions, chiropractic care can support the nervous system and aid in symptom relief.
Physiotherapy For Nerve Health And Symptom Management
Physiotherapy plays an essential role in helping individuals with neuropathy regain control and confidence in their movements. At our clinic, treatments may include:
- Targeted strengthening and stretching to maintain muscle function
- Balance and coordination training to prevent falls
- Nerve gliding techniques to improve mobility and reduce tension
- Low-impact exercises to stimulate blood flow and healing
- Education on proper footwear, posture, and daily habits to reduce nerve stress
Every plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account the underlying cause, severity, and progression of symptoms.
A Holistic Approach To Nerve Health
Because neuropathy is multifactorial, a holistic approach often yields the best results. In addition to hands-on therapies, we offer guidance on:
- Nutritional support for nerve repair
- Lifestyle changes to improve metabolic and vascular health
- Stress management strategies to reduce overall nerve load
- Workstation and ergonomic adjustments to prevent repetitive strain
We believe in empowering patients through education, practical tools, and proactive care.
