Peripheral Neuropathy in Homer, Alaska
Evaluation for numbness, tingling, burning, and changes in sensation.
Understanding your symptoms
Peripheral neuropathy involves damage or dysfunction of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Diabetes, nerve injury, and other medical conditions can contribute. Similar symptoms may also come from a compressed nerve, so identifying the cause matters.
Your evaluation
We review the pattern of your symptoms, medical history, medications, and any changes in strength or balance. Examination findings help determine whether further medical testing or referral is needed.
Care suited to your findings
Care depends on the cause. We can discuss movement, balance, and associated muscle or joint concerns while coordinating appropriate medical evaluation. Chiropractic care does not replace treatment of diabetes or other causes of nerve damage.

Introduction to Peripheral Neuropathy
A question patients ask
Can every neuropathy be treated the same way?
No. The cause and extent of nerve involvement guide care. New or worsening weakness, loss of balance, or rapidly changing symptoms need timely medical assessment.
