Is it possible chiropratic adjustments could worsen perphial neuropathy?

At the age of 66 I've never seen a chiropractor, and I won't let one get their hands on me. In my opinion, I can't see your neuropathy improving after seeing one.

Hello,
I agree that chiropractors can cause more damage than healing. They overdo what needs to be done and aggravate things for patients. There's another treatment which may be a bit better and it is called Osteopathic Manipulation Treatment/Therapy (OMT) and performed by doctors who have DO instead of MD after their names.
Take care and have a serene weekend,
gus

I am not accusing Chiropractors are causing problems for those of us with neuropathy. I am simply asking if their treatments might add to neuropathy.

I have occasional issues with my lumbar discs and i get excellent treatment from my Chiroprator who is very professional.
I am asking if there is a risk from these adjustments, and the same for Osteopaths, which I have used before but with less effectiveness.
