Neuropathy
NEUROPATHY.—Neuropathy is neither entirely a manipu- lative method of treatment nor a complete system of healing. It is a spinal treatment used to govern the blood supply to various parts of the body and is generally employed by its practitioners as an adjunct to other methods. It is not used as much now as it was a few years ago.
The theory of the treatment is that abnormalities in va¬rious parts of the body are due to some change in the blood supply, in some cases too much being present and in other cases not enough. Experience has shown that no abnormal part has a normal circulation. Hence improving the circula¬tion should be beneficial, but, unless the blood contains the necessary tissue-building elements and is free from an excess of toxins, it cannot help the affected part. Therefore depend¬ence upon neuropathy alone will not give very satisfactory results. When combined with right habits of living, however, it may be very helpful.
