Both Nobel prize laureates. All the chiropractic neuro guys have done is study the material that is out there on neurology and tried to answer the question, "How can we apply this information to our patient populations?" Randy Beck, D.C. has written a great book called Functional Neurology for Practitioners of Manual Therapy. It contains all the stuff we should have learned in school, but didn't. I hesitate to put this kind of information out on the forum, because without a review of neural systems, the discussion will seem "weird" as you put it.

Am pursuing a naturopathic intervention (B12 shot PRN) but will send her to a chiro neuro if no joy. You should post your response to the whole group. This his how we get to know one another. E.

I learned in the Carrick Neurology Program that with a bi lateral distribution of sensory signs, a parietal lobe lesion, either physiological or ablative lesion needs to be ruled out. You could send her too a Chiropractic Neurologist. He would do a diagnosis and provide treatment recommendations to you. I also think the AK guys get into parietal lobe stuff. If it is parietal lobe, and knowing that the right parietal lobe has bi lateral representation in brain, I'd guess the lesion to be on the right, if there is one. Alan D.C. Eugene Sports and Auto Injury Chiropractic Clinic Aspiring Chiropractic Neurologist From: drscott@...Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 12:12:59 -0800Subject: Peripheral Neuropathy A patient brought in a full page ad from a DC in Vancouver who helps people with Peripheral Neuropathy (PN). Tons of testimonials, etc. My patient was given meds. By a valid doctor which gave her headaches, shortness of breath, and other symptoms so she quit taking it. http://www.drugs.com/condition/peripheral-neuropathy.html This doc offers LED light therapy. I’ve looked into this and it appears to be a series of little LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes). At least there are not side effects. Patient has NO NUMBNESS, but tingling and burning in both feet at night somewhat alleived by soaking then worsening at 3-4 a.m. No low back complaints although I did wave a forked stick over her low back and it definitely felt like it pulled to the left. I have seen neuritis relieved by spinal care in a patient who had carpal tunnel syndrome dx’d by scientific methodology (peripheral nerve conduction study) and headed for CTS surgery. I treated her scalenes, neck, upper back, and her CTS resolved. The neurologist said it was either unrealted or she never really had CTS. Was bad enough to expose her to general anesthesia, surgery and infection but not bad enough to expose her to 12 chiropractic treatments. What do you have to say about Peripheral Neuropathy in both feet which is not a local foot symtom, not proportional to activity level and only comes on at night (DDX Maneater Syndrome- Hall and Oates 1981).

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Please bear with me for a long question. The above subject is a conclusion I come to on my on. My PCP did not disagree. The pain is burning and aching pain. This has been going on for a couple of years, but has become much more painful and is moving into hands. To give some background, I have had three back surgeries in the past four years. The last one was August of this year, and was successful for relief of nerve and lower back pain. I was dx with Cll May of 08, and started treatment Sept. 08. I was in the Revlimid trial at MDA . I came out of the trial in August 10, because of extreme fatigue. My CLL has been stable since coming out of the trial. My medications are generic Valtrex, Synthroid, Nadolol, generic Paxil, and Celebrex. I have taken these for a number of years. The Valtrex is the newest and I started it in 08 when I started the Revlimid trial. My PCP and I do not have a very good relationship. I question his decisions too much I think. He wanted me to take Lyrical for this about two years ago.I took it for three months. It did not help very much and I suffered several side effects that were unpleasant. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. If you have experienced this, what has worked to get relief. Does anyone know of any other type medications that might be helpful. This is fast coming to effect my day to day activities. Sitting and keeping my feet elevated is not very practical. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
