If you’ve been dealing with burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness in your hands or feet, you may be experiencing neuropathy. Neuropathy is a condition involving irritation or dysfunction of the nerves and most often the peripheral nerves that travel from your spine out to your arms, hands, legs and feet.
Many people assume neuropathy is something they just have to “live with,” especially if symptoms come and go. However, neuropathy symptoms can often be improved when you identify what’s contributing to the nerve irritation; whether that’s spinal stress, nerve compression, posture issues, disc problems, repetitive strain, or other underlying factors.
At Align Wellness Center, we help patients in Northbrook get answers and a clear plan. If you’re looking for lasting relief and better function and not just temporary symptom masking, contact us today.
Neuropathy Symptoms
Neuropathy is a broad term that describes damage, irritation, or impaired function of nerves. Nerves act like communication lines between your brain/spinal cord and the rest of your body, helping you feel sensation, control muscle movement, and regulate certain automatic functions. Common symptoms include:
- tingling in the hands, fingers, feet, or toes
- burning sensations (especially at night)
- numbness or reduced ability to feel temperature or touch
- weakness, heaviness, or clumsiness
- cramping, tightness, or “electric shock” feelings
- balance changes or feeling unsteady
- hands/feet that fall asleep quickly during daily activities
In some cases, ongoing nerve irritation can affect strength and coordination over time. If your symptoms are progressing, the sooner you get evaluated, the better. Neuropathy can affect one area (like the hands) or multiple areas (like both feet). It can also vary day-to-day, which is why many people delay getting help.
Neuropathy Causes
There are many potential causes of neuropathy. Some are related to the spine and nerve pathways, and others are systemic (whole-body) issues.
- nerve compression or irritation (neck, mid-back, low back)
- disc bulges / disc degeneration that irritate nerve tissue
- repetitive stress and overuse (work posture, gripping, typing)
- old injuries, falls, or sports impacts
- poor posture and prolonged sitting
- circulation issues
- metabolic issues (including blood sugar problems)
- nutritional deficiencies (such as B vitamins)
- certain medications or toxins
- inflammatory or autoimmune conditions
A skilled chiropractor will examine you to determine whether your symptoms may be related to spinal nerve irritation, mechanical compression, or movement dysfunction—and whether you may need additional medical evaluation for other contributors.
Our goal is to identify what’s driving the nerve symptoms and create a plan that supports nerve function and helps you get back to living normally.
Neuropathy Treatment
Non-invasive care designed to reduce nerve irritation and improve function.
Most people want to know one thing: “Can this actually get better?” The good news is that many neuropathy symptoms can improve when you address the underlying stress on the nervous system.
At Align Wellness Center, your plan may include:
- Chiropractic care to reduce joint restriction and support healthier nerve pathways
- Posture and movement correction to reduce ongoing irritation and repetitive strain
- Softwave therapy to reduce swelling and pain while kickstarting the body’s natural healing process
- Cold laser therapy to support tissue recovery and reduce inflammation
Disc decompression therapy (when appropriate) to reduce pressure on affected nerve structures - targeted stretching, rehab, and at-home recommendations
We’ll also help you understand what’s contributing to your symptoms so you’re not relying on temporary fixes that only mask the problem.
At Align Wellness Center, we offer chiropractic care, cold laser therapy, disc decompression therapy, sciatica treatment, and so much more to relieve pain, restore spinal function, and restore structural integrity. Also, we offer wellness programs for those who are seeking to remain healthy in the long run.

Questions ? You're Covered
What does neuropathy feel like?
Neuropathy often feels like numbness, tingling, burning, pins-and-needles, or “electric” sensations, usually in the hands or feet. It can also cause weakness or parts of the body “falling asleep” easily.
What causes neuropathy in the hands and feet?
Neuropathy can be caused by nerve irritation or compression, disc issues, repetitive strain, past injuries, circulation or metabolic issues, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies. We evaluate what may be contributing in your case.
Can chiropractic care help neuropathy?
In many cases, yes. Especially when symptoms are tied to spinal stress, posture problems, or nerve compression. Chiropractic care aims to reduce irritation along nerve pathways and improve function.
What else might be included in my treatment plan?
Your plan may include chiropractic care, cold laser therapy, disc decompression therapy (when appropriate), posture correction and home recommendations to support recovery.
How long does it take to see improvement?
It depends on the cause and how long symptoms have been present. Some patients notice changes quickly, while others need a longer plan for steady improvement.
Do I need imaging or additional testing?
Not always. Many cases can be evaluated through your history and exam. If we suspect a more complex issue, we may recommend imaging or further testing.
