Peripheral neuropathy is progressive. The nerves continue to deteriorate without the right intervention. Most patients are told to take medication and manage it. Our protocol takes a different approach — targeting the root cause of nerve compression and circulation failure.

Peripheral neuropathy is a progressive deterioration of the peripheral nerves — the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord into your arms, legs, hands, and feet. When these nerves are damaged or compressed, they misfire. They send signals of burning, tingling, numbness, cramping, swelling, and extreme temperature sensation to areas that have no injury.
Most neuropathy starts in the feet and progresses upward. Without proper intervention, the deterioration continues. Most patients are prescribed medications that reduce pain signals without stopping the underlying damage.
The goal of our protocol is different: stopping the progression and restoring as much nerve function as possible.
● Diabetic neuropathy |
● Chemotherapy-induced |
● Idiopathic (unknown cause) |
● Compressed nerve neuropathy |
● Post-surgical nerve damage |
● Alcohol-related neuropathy |
● Nutritional deficiency |
● Autoimmune-related |
Not all neuropathy cases are candidates for the same protocol. Dr. Acord evaluates your specific cause and stage before recommending treatment.
Most neuropathy medications work by suppressing the pain signal. They don’t stop the nerve damage. They’re the equivalent of covering a check engine light while the engine continues to fail.

Targeted adjustments and decompression therapy relieve pressure on affected nerve roots. Improved circulation delivers the nutrients damaged nerves need to repair.
We track your nerve function throughout — measuring sensation, balance, and symptom changes at each visit. The goal is not just relief. It’s stopping the deterioration and restoring function.
“I had been suffering with serious pain from neuropathy for 3 years. My long time family doctor tried different pain drugs. He also referred me to a pain control clinic which only increased me taking more drugs. When I started seeing Dr. Acord, I was in a motorized wheelchair. After the eighth visit, I started feeling sensation in my feet. I was able to use my walker instead of my motorized wheelchair. My walking was improving greatly. I am 76 years old — I want what years I have left to be the best they can be.”

That’s the right question — and it depends on the cause and stage of your neuropathy. Medications typically manage the pain signal without addressing the underlying nerve deterioration. Our approach is different: we evaluate the root cause of your nerve compression or damage and work to address that directly. For many patients, particularly those in earlier stages, meaningful improvement in sensation, balance, and function is achievable. For advanced stages, our goal is stopping further progression and improving quality of life. Dr. Acord will give you an honest assessment at your evaluation.
Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common presentations we see. While the underlying cause (blood sugar damage to nerves) requires ongoing medical management of your diabetes, chiropractic care can address the mechanical compression component that often coexists with diabetic neuropathy and worsens symptoms. Improving circulation to the affected nerves is also a component of our protocol. Dr. Acord coordinates with your primary care physician when appropriate.
This varies significantly depending on the type and severity of your neuropathy. Some patients notice changes — reduced burning, returning sensation — within the first several visits. Others see gradual improvement over weeks to months. Dr. Acord will set realistic expectations at your evaluation based on your specific presentation. We track changes in sensation, balance, and comfort throughout your protocol.
Dr. Acord accepts Medicare as a participating provider. Most major insurance plans also cover chiropractic care, though specific neuropathy protocol components vary by plan. We will verify your coverage before beginning treatment so there are no surprises. Call us at (601) 794-0081 with your insurance information and our team will find out exactly what your plan covers.
We see patients who have been dealing with neuropathy symptoms for 5, 10, even 20 years before coming to us. Earlier intervention typically produces better outcomes. But “too late” is rarely an accurate assessment without a proper evaluation. Dr. Acord has helped patients with long-standing neuropathy achieve meaningful improvements. He’ll give you a straight answer at your evaluation — including if he believes another approach would serve you better.
The best way to know whether Dr. Acord can help you is to sit down with him. Your evaluation is 100% obligation-free — a genuine clinical conversation, not a sales appointment.
