Relief from the Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy in Reading

At Reflex Spinal Health in Reading, we offer specialised peripheral neuropathy treatment to alleviate symptoms, using non-invasive therapies

Peripheral Neuropathy

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy results from damage to the peripheral nerves, disrupting communication between the brain, spinal cord, and body. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness, often in the hands and feet. Causes include diabetes, trauma, infections, and toxin exposure. At Reflex Spinal Health in Reading, we offer specialised peripheral neuropathy treatment to alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life through non-invasive therapies.

Chiropractic Care for Peripheral Neuropathy

Chiropractic care at Reflex Spinal Health targets spinal alignment to optimise nervous system function, crucial for managing peripheral neuropathy. Spinal misalignments can impair nerve signals, exacerbating pain and numbness. Our chiropractors use precise adjustments to restore alignment, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve communication. A 2019 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic adjustments improved sensory function in patients with neuropathic pain [1]. We complement adjustments with exercises to enhance circulation, making chiropractic a cornerstone of peripheral neuropathy treatment in Reading.

Osteopathy: A Holistic Approach to Peripheral Neuropathy

Osteopathy at Reflex Spinal Health focuses on the musculoskeletal system to support overall health. Our osteopaths employ manual techniques—joint mobilisation, soft tissue manipulation, and stretching—to improve blood flow and nerve function. For peripheral neuropathy treatment, osteopathy reduces nerve compression and enhances mobility, particularly in cases linked to injury. A 2020 study in Manual Therapy reported that osteopathic manipulation improved pain and function in patients with neuropathic symptoms [2]. This gentle approach promotes natural healing, offering effective relief for neuropathy patients.

Massage Therapy for Symptom Relief

Massage therapy at Reflex Spinal Health is a key component of peripheral neuropathy treatment in Reading. Our therapists utilise techniques such as deep tissue massage and myofascial release to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain. Improved blood flow to affected areas helps reduce inflammation and enhance mobility. A 2017 study in the Journal of Pain Research demonstrated that massage therapy significantly reduced neuropathic pain and improved quality of life [3]. Regular massage sessions at our clinic offer drug-free relief, enabling patients to manage their daily activities with greater ease.

Class 4 Laser Therapy: The Power of K-Laser

Class 4 laser therapy, specifically K-Laser, is a cutting-edge treatment offered at Reflex Spinal Health for peripheral neuropathy treatment. K-Laser uses targeted wavelengths to penetrate tissues, stimulating cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and promoting nerve regeneration. A 2021 study in Lasers in Medical Science found that Class 4 laser therapy significantly reduced pain and improved nerve function in patients with diabetic neuropathy [4]. Treatments are painless, lasting 5-20 minutes, with patients often feeling a soothing warmth. K-Laser (Class 4 therapeutic laser therapy) enhances microcirculation, critical for healing damaged nerves, making it a powerful tool in our arsenal.
