Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is where the nerves in the feet generallydo not work as well as they should for one reason or another. Themost common cause of this is diabetes; however, there is aninnumerable amount of different causes of peripheralneuropathy.

But as our main concern is to prevent numbness and pain in thefeet with the help of upper cervical care that means the numbnessmust be because of the problem in the central nervous system (brainand spinal cord) and not in the peripheral nerves. The occurrenceof numbness and pain due to misalignment in the spinal cord iscalled Spinal Stenosis.

SPINAL STENOSIS

Stenosis means narrowing. In the spine, this narrowing has thepotential to pinch either the nerves or the spinal cord. It issometimes an age-related disease in your spinal cord in the neckregion. So it is also called cervical spinal stenosis.

This condition can occur anywhere along the spinal cord but mostof the time spinal stenosis occurs in two areas (a) neck (b) lowerback.

There are several causes of spinal stenosis:

Herniated disc: drying out vertebral disks
Arthritis: breaking of cartilage within your joints
Thick ligaments: ligaments hold the spins together andarthritis cause thickness of the ligaments
Pressure on spinal nerves: spinal fractures due to injuriescause damage near the spine

These are the common causes that narrow the spacing among thespines and the pressures between the spines increases thatsometimes causes tumor in the spinal cord.

The severe symptoms related to the spinal stenosis are givendown below:

Pain in the lower back – the pain starts from the buttock andthen radiates down the leg to the feet
Sciatica
Numbness or tingling in the legs or feet
Weakness in the feet
Pain in the feet while standing for too long
Pain in the neck

These are the symptoms that people with spinal stenosis suffervery often when they ignore these conditions and the problemworsens within days.
