Chemotherapy, a common treatment for cancer, often comes with debilitating side effects, including neuropathy. Dr. Cory Hennessey, D.C., a chiropractor and advocate for holistic healthcare, is advising cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to seek out natural treatments for neuropathy early in their treatment journey.
Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy occurs when chemotherapy drugs damage nerves, resulting in symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and pain, typically in the hands and feet. Despite assurances from some oncologists that nerve damage will diminish over time, Dr. Hennessey says, many patients find themselves grappling with persistent neuropathic symptoms long after treatment ends. Dr. Hennessey emphasizes that neuropathy is a progressive, degenerative disorder, and early intervention is crucial for better outcomes.
“As a healthcare provider, I’ve witnessed the devastating impact neuropathy can have on cancer patients’ quality of life,” says Dr. Hennessey. “While chemotherapy is essential for fighting cancer, it’s vital to address the side effects, including neuropathy, proactively. Waiting for symptoms to improve on their own can lead to long-term suffering and diminished functionality.”
Dr. Hennessey explains that neuropathy is a complex condition that requires a multifaceted approach to treatment. At Innate Healthcare, he adds, they employ multiple protocols that patients use including; low level light, electrotherapy and balance therapy to get the blood and nerve flow back to the nerve so the body can heal effectively. By catering these plans individually for each patient Innate Healthcare can help get patients’ lives back so they can be more mobile, get rid of walkers/canes and live the lifestyles they thought they lost. By addressing the root causes and promoting overall health, Dr. Hennessey says, Innate Healthcare aims to empower patients in their journey towards recovery.
Dr. Cory Hennessey adds that every patient’s journey is unique, and that their approach to care at Innate Healthcare reflects the same. By focusing on individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs, he says, Innate Healthcare provides comprehensive support that goes beyond symptom management. He notes that his goal is to empower patients to take control of their health and live their best lives.
