CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY

There is not a single underlying cause for neuropathy. In fact, there may be no known cause which is referred to as idiopathic and makes up nearly 40% of all neuropathies. Also, nearly 35% of the remaining Americans suffering from neuropathy have diabetes. In fact, almost 70% of Americans with diabetes have developed a form of neuropathy due to the disease. The remaining percent of neuropathies is composed of a group called acquired neuropathies. This group consists of causes such as:

• Alcoholism
• Poor nutrition and nutritional deficiencies
• Trauma
• Pressure on nerves
• Repetitive movements for extended periods of time
• Various autoimmune diseases
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Lupus
• Toxins
• Heavy metal poisoning
• Various medications
• Certain cancer treatments
• Hereditary neuropathies (from inherited disorders)
• Tumors
• Other diseases, including but not limited to:
• HIV/AIDS
• Lyme disease
• Liver disease
• Kidney disease
• Hypothyroidism

WHO CAN DEVELOP NEUROPATHY?

Neuropathy can affect all people of all ages. It is more commonly found in men and Caucasians as well as those who have jobs consisting of a lot of repetitive movements. There are several risk factors ranging from lifestyle choices, behaviors, and conditions. As previously stated, those who have poor nutrition are likely to develop Type II Diabetes which will cause neuropathy. If a person in Flower Mound TX suffers from an autoimmune disease, they have a predisposition for the development of various types of neuropathy. If a person has a compromised immune system (organ transplant recipient, HIV/AIDS patient, or due to medication), they are at an increased risk for developing a type of neuropathy. If a person suffers from alcoholism or has a vitamin deficiency, they are likely to develop a form of neuropathy. Also, if a person has kidney disease, liver disease, or a thyroid disorder they are more susceptible to developing neuropathy.

DIAGNOSIS OF NEUROPATHY

This condition is generally not a simple diagnosis to make. It is difficult because it is not often that it is a disease present alone but rather a symptom of an underlying disease. There is a process that occurs before the diagnosis is made. The process may consist of:

• Full medical history
• Physical exam
• Neurological exam
• Tendon reflexes
• Muscular strength
• Muscular tone
• Sensory tests
• Postural analysis
• Coordination analysis
• Nerve conduction test

In some cases, a nerve biopsy may be requested by a physician.

COMMON NEUROPATHY TREATMENT OPTIONS

There have been several treatments developed for the treatment of neuropathies. Treatment options range from medications, creams, special diets, and therapies. All of these treatments are designed to assist in nervous system function. The most common course of treatment is prescription antidepressants to relieve pain in non-depressed patients. Research has also found that antidepressants can alleviate peripheral neuropathy induced by chemotherapy treatments. Anticonvulsants are another choice of treatment used for neuropathies. This type of medication is used because it blocks the incoming calcium within a neuron which ultimately inhibits the transmission of pain. A less favorable medication used is opioid narcotics. These are not used very often because of the chance the patient may become addicted and dependent although they are usually the most effective for alleviating the pain. Topical creams that may be used are lidocaine or capsaicin. Our approach at New Leaf Chiropractic in Flower Mound TX is a drug-free natural option that doesn't require drugs or surgery!
