Default As with many things--

--chiropractic adjustments seem to help some and not others.

I would suspect that such treamtment would be most helpful for those whose neuropathy is primarily compressive in nature, especially if it stems from pressure on spinal nerve roots or other large nerves that go through the lumbar or brachial plexuses, but that would have to be establishes first, adn other systemic etiologies eliminated.

I do think that the emphasis some chiropractors have on wholistic approaches and nutrition and posture can be a good thing.

Also, as Melody/Alan can report, a neurological chiropractor may be a good choice for those with neurological issues--they have more training in the nervous system's ineractions than "standard" chiropractors.
