Here are some frequently asked questions about neuropathy.
Dr. Sheps diagnoses neuropathy during a chiropractic exam. He reviews your medical records and asks about your symptoms, including when they first started and what they feel like. He also quizzes you about your general health to see if you have diabetes or another health problem that increases your risk of neuropathy.
Dr. Sheps completes physical and neurological exams. He looks for signs that indicate neuropathy, like changes in your ability to feel sensations and trouble with walking and balance. Last, Dr. Sheps orders diagnostic imaging, like X-rays and an ultrasound. This lets him rule out other problems that present similar symptoms, like soft-tissue injuries, tumors, and pinched nerves.
Neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy refer to the same thing — damage to any nerves outside your brain and spinal cord. These nerves run throughout your body, including the hands and feet. They allow you to feel temperature and pain, and they send messages to your brain. Anyone can experience neuropathy. But it’s most common in folks with chronic medical conditions like diabetes, alcohol use disorder, and Lyme disease.
The easiest way to prevent neuropathy is to live a healthy life. Dr. Sheps recommends exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, and managing your blood sugar if you have diabetes. Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals when possible, and if you drink alcohol, do so moderately.
