Chronic Conditions Care

Chronic conditions have no cure, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t provide treatment options to help manage your symptoms. Here are a few chronic conditions that we help manage at our wellness center near Cedar Rapids.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is an umbrella term for any disorder related to the nervous system. This condition causes a range of symptoms, including:

• Tingling sensations that feel like pins and needles, numbness, or prickling.
• Burning pain in the lower limbs that spreads to the arms and hands.
• Sharp, stabbing pains that extend to the hands and arms. These symptoms often worsen in the evening.

Neuropathy can be difficult to diagnose because there is no single underlying cause for it. However, researchers have found a link between neuropathy and diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, alcoholism, poor circulation, and autoimmune disease.

During a two-hour consultation, we discuss your lifestyle, the severity and onset of your symptoms, and your medical history. Next, we perform a series of exams, including:

• Movement and coordination
• Hearing and speech
• Coordination and balance
• Vision and senses
• Brain mapping

These assessments help us understand the underlying cause of your neuropathy, which we use to develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Our treatments include:

• Chiropractic care
• Neurofeedback
• Nutritional guidance
• IV therapy
• Oxygen therapy
• PRP injections

Each treatment plan looks different for each patient, but the goal is always the same: reduced symptoms and a better quality of life.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that causes pain, stiffness, loss of mobility, and tenderness in your hands, hips, spine, and knees. This pain gradually worsens as cartilage wears away. Our treatments ease the pressure on affected joints. These treatments include:

• Chiropractic care
• Ozone therapy
• Laser therapy

Chronic Inflammation

Let’s get one thing straight: inflammation is not always a bad thing! In most cases, it means your body is responding to injury or infection properly. However, chronic inflammation, which can cause joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes, and weight gain, is dangerous to your overall health. We offer the following treatments to reduce chronic inflammation in your body:

• IV therapy
• Ozone therapy
• Chiropractic services
• Infrared sauna
