Suggest Remedy For Leg Spasms After Chiropractic Treatment
Question: a chiropractor adjusted my back. after the adjustment, I had spasms both of my legs to my feet for 3-4 hours, four month later. thereafter, the bottom of my feet became stationary, no flexation. over the past 10 years my feet have been shrinking. I developed neuropathy with pain. is there any procedure to correct my back problem and feet shrinkage?
Brief Answer:
Need to find the cause of Nerve damage
Detailed Answer:
Greeting from Dr. Divakara.P
First of all I need to know when did this happen?
Also what exactly you mean by feet is shrinking? Is it the whole feet size coming down or is it the muscle mass over the feet thinning out?
Yes you have a nerve problem (Neuropathy) which is causing you all these problems. We need to evaluate whether the cause for your Neuropathy is due to your past Chiropractor visit or is it due to some other problems.
I need to know whether you have any other medical conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, etc.
I advise you to get Nerve conduction study test of your lower limbs to confirm the diagnosis of neuropathy and to know the severity of Neuropathy. Once Neuropathy is confirmed I shall advise certain other test to know the cause of your neuropathy.
As of your query, if your problems are due to only spinal vertebral mal-alignment then it can be corrected with Physiotherapy, Chiropractor therapy or Surgery. But we need to find out the cause first.
Kindly get Nerve conduction study test of your lower limbs and revert back.
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
I would happy to help you.
