malawigirl, almost EVERYONE over the age of 30-35 has degenerative changes in their lower spine. It is a part of the aging process. There is no way any clinician can attribute the diagnosis of SFPN to those degenerative changes based on plain X-rays. At the least, a CT scan or an MRI would be required to show compressive changes to your nerve roots of stenosis of your spinal canal. As Glenntaj states, neuropathy secondary to degenerative changes is usually one sided and not localized to just the feet. I would not recommend paying for chiropractic therapy in this instance
