The spinal column houses and protects the central nervous system. When vertebrae shift out of alignment, they can compress or irritate the nerve roots that branch out to the extremities. That irritation produces the numbness, tingling, and burning commonly associated with neuropathy. In many cases, the neuropathy diagnosis never gets traced back to the spinal misalignment that caused it, and the patient cycles through medications that mask symptoms without resolving the underlying problem.
Dr. Bronstein at Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic evaluates spinal alignment as a standard part of every neuropathy consultation. If misalignment is present and contributing to nerve compromise, spinal correction becomes the primary treatment strategy. This is a structural solution to what is often treated as a purely neurological or metabolic condition.
