Preventing further damage is important too! Aside from prescription medications, which only decrease pain by 30-50%, you do have other options. Consider chiropractic care as part of your treatment plan for diabetic neuropathy. Chiropractic care works because it focuses on something deeper than the pain and numbness-targeting the root cause of the symptoms. Chiropractic manipulations may help relieve, or slow the progression of peripheral neuropathy in your legs. If you’re not diabetic and have numbness in your feet while sleeping, think about your diet.
