We talk a lot about topical solutions like our Nerve Balm—and for good reason. It’s a fast-acting, targeted way to manage nerve discomfort and bring some relief to those burning, prickling sensations in your hands and feet. But sometimes, the best path forward isn’t a one-lane road—it’s a full-on multi-lane highway of healing.

That’s why today, we want to talk about something that pairs beautifully with Nerve Balm: chiropractic care.

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy and What Causes It?

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition caused by damage or dysfunction in the peripheral nerves—the nerves that transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. It’s a condition that affects over 20 million Americans, and the cause behind it are many.

Common culprits include:

• Diabetes, which leads to chronic high blood sugar levels that damage nerves over time

• Vitamin deficiencies, particularly B12, which is essential for nerve health

• Alcoholism, which impairs nutrient absorption and nerve function

• Infections and autoimmune conditions that trigger inflammatory responses

• Chemotherapy and certain medications, which can have neurotoxic side effects

Symptoms typically begin with tingling, burning, or numbness in the hands or feet, and can progress to stabbing pain, muscle weakness, and balance issues. It’s crucial to treat peripheral neuropathy early—not just to manage pain, but to prevent long-term nerve damage and disability.

How Chiropractic Treatments Help with Neuropathy Pain

Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach to treating the root issues behind neuropathy. Chiropractors focus on restoring proper alignment in the spine and improving the function of the nervous system. When the spine is misaligned or vertebrae are compressed, it can put pressure on nerve roots and reduce blood flow—two major contributors to nerve dysfunction.

Here’s how chiropractic treatment can help:

• Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and pinched nerves. This encourages nutrient-rich fluids to flow back into the discs and surrounding tissues, accelerating healing.

• Manual adjustments help correct misalignments (subluxations) that disrupt nerve signaling and contribute to inflammation.

• Improved posture and mobility reduce biomechanical stress on joints and muscles, enhancing circulation and reducing the likelihood of further nerve damage.

• Whole-body support through chiropractic encourages systemic healing by improving nervous system function, which plays a role in everything from pain perception to inflammation control.

Research has shown that consistent spinal decompression therapy can not only relieve symptoms but may also reverse structural damage seen in imaging studies, making it a promising solution for those suffering from nerve compression or degeneration.

Why Combine Nerve Balm with Chiropractic Therapy?

Topical creams like Nerve Balm provide crucial, immediate relief for localized symptoms. Formulated with anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting ingredients, Nerve Balm works to ease burning, tingling, and aching sensations by calming the skin’s nerve endings and reducing surface inflammation.

However, topical relief alone doesn't always address the mechanical issues that cause peripheral neuropathy in the first place. That’s where chiropractic care comes in. By restoring alignment, decompressing nerves, and improving internal circulation, chiropractic adjustments support the deeper layers of your healing process.

Together, these two treatments form a powerful, layered defense:

Multi-Layered Relief for Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve tried countless remedies that only provide temporary relief. But when you combine the targeted benefits of Nerve Balm with the foundational support of chiropractic care, you’re giving your body a chance to heal from both the outside and the inside.

Rather than masking symptoms, this multi-layered strategy helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore proper nerve function—providing sustainable relief and helping you reclaim your quality of life.

If you're ready to go beyond temporary fixes and build a comprehensive plan for managing your neuropathy, this powerful combination might be your next best step.
