How We Treat Neuropathy
Neuropathy can be caused by many things, from diabetes to traumatic injuries. Unfortunately, the condition is often overlooked by physicians and patients alike. Below are some approaches we use to care for neuropathy.
Comprehensive Consultation and Exam
At our center, we take a comprehensive approach to treating neuropathy. We start with a consultation to get to the root of the problem. Then, we perform a thorough exam to rule out any other potential causes of the symptoms. After that, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, electrical stimulation, suggested supplementation, and lifestyle changes. We also offer support and resources to assist our patients in managing their conditions and enhancing their quality of life.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment option for neuritis that focuses on restoring normal function to the nervous system. By aligning the spine and correcting subluxations, chiropractors can take pressure off the nerves and allow them to heal.
Chiropractic care effectively reduces pain, improves nerve function, and increases range of motion. It is a practical and safe treatment for neuritis that can help you get back to living your life.
Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve nerve pressure. It can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and promote oxygen delivery to the affected areas. If you’re looking for a safe and effective treatment for neuritis, this therapy may be right for you.
Nutrition/Supplementation
A critical aspect of treatment is nutrition and supplementation. A healthy diet is vital for everyone, but it is essential for those with neuritis. Certain nutrients can help to support nerve health and reduce inflammation. These include omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, vitamin D, and magnesium.

After many many years of seeking medical treatment, PT, chiropractic and pain management for my neck and back, I was encouraged by a friend to try working with Dr. Steph. I thought, "OK, but if this doesn't help, I'll just have to live with my pain." Well, I just finished my first month of treatments and home exercises and had an xray taken of my neck. I was SO surprised to see the improvement in 30 days!!!! So, if there is anyone out there who also is discouraged with getting help, but no improvement, I now highly recommend working with Dr. Steph. He has a wonderful "bedside manner" in that he quietly and gently encourages, as well as gives advice. He gives me hope in my journey. The difference I see in his care is that it is all individualized treatment, working with xrays which show exactly where the issues are. After all these years I now feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I am a new patient and by the third adjustment was surprised at the better neck movement and back flexibility waking up in the morning I have. I’m especially impressed with the holistic approach to chiropractic care. Physical, mental, food, vitamins and exercise. One must be pro-chiropractic to appreciate what Legacy Family Chiropractic offers to the Grand Rapids community.

Although I am in the early stages of my treatment, I have already experienced some weight loss, less shoulder and neck pain. Positive thinking, exercise, and treatments are my small steps to a bigger goal.

I wasn’t sure at first about going to another chiropractor. My husband convinced me after watching me hobble around and suffer. I’m so glad he did! This treatment is fantastic. Dr. Steph really knows his patients. I’m moving so much better. My headaches are far less frequent. I’m getting off meds and I feel like I’m really progressing. I like the home rehab tools I’ve been given and enjoy doing the exercises. I truly feel like I am getting my life back and look forward to enjoying the activities I once did. I highly recommend anyone go to Family Legacy.

I was in several life altering accidents over the years and had been living with chronic pain for the last 23 years. I have been to many doctors to try and treat the pain with not much success. Then I saw the add for Legacy Family Chiropractic. They were giving a free informational lecture so I went to check it out. I decided to start treatment. It was not very long when I was sitting at my home and I had this very unusual feeling. I had not felt this for 23 years. The feeling was no pain! I actually had to take a moment and catch my breath I was so happy! 23 years! I have not been coached or paid to tell you any of this. But, I praise God I started those treatments! Thanks to Dr Stephan Bohemier and his wife Sarah and his staff for making my quality of life much better! I appreciate it very much!

Types of Neuropathy
There are different types of mononeuropathy, including peripheral mononeuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, focal mononeuropathy, and others.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral mononeuropathy is nerve damage resulting from diabetes, certain medications, infections, traumatic injuries, and exposure to toxins. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness.
Diabetic mononeuropathy is the most popular type of peripheral mononeuropathy. It typically affects the feet and legs first and can eventually spread to the hands and arms. Diabetic mononeuropathy is brought up by high blood sugar levels damaging the nerves.
Medication-induced mononeuropathy can be caused by chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer or HIV/AIDS. Antidepressants, heart medications, and over-the-counter drugs have also been linked to peripheral mononeuropathy.
Infections such as shingles or hepatitis C can lead to nerve damage. Traumatic injuries, including those from car accidents or falls, can also cause peripheral mononeuropathy. Besides, exposure to toxins such as lead or mercury can damage the nerves and cause peripheral mononeuropathy.
Proximal Neuropathy
Proximal neuropathy, also known as lumbosacral plexus mononeuropathy, is a type of peripheral nerve damage that occurs when the lumbosacral plexus, a network of nerves in the lower back and pelvis, is damaged. This mononeuropathy can cause weakness and pain in the legs and hips. Proximal mononeuropathy is most often caused by diabetes, but certain infections, injuries, or tumors can also cause it. Treatment for proximal mononeuropathy typically relieves pain and improves strength and function.
Autonomic Neuropathy
Autonomic mononeuropathy is a kind of mononeuropathy that affects the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary body actions, like blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and sweating. Autonomic mononeuropathy can occur in any part of the autonomic nervous system.
Symptoms of autonomic neuropathy depend on which organ or body system is affected. If blood pressure control is affected, symptoms may include lightheadedness or fainting when standing up too quickly. If the digestive system is affected, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Other possible symptoms include trouble urinating (urinary incontinence), sexual dysfunction, and problems with sweating.
Other conditions, such as diabetes or certain infections, usually cause autonomic mononeuropathy. It can also be caused by certain medications or surgery.
Treatment for autonomic mononeuropathy focuses on managing the underlying condition and relieving symptoms. For example, if diabetes is the cause, treatment will focus on controlling blood sugar levels.
