Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy in Monroeville
While doctors and researchers have spent decades searching for new ways to administer cancer treatments, the current therapies that treat the disease almost always come with side effects. Chemotherapy is a treatment designed to kill cancer cells, but unfortunately, it can also affect the nerves connecting the spinal cord to muscles, skin, and internal organs. Disorders of peripheral nerves are common in chemotherapy patients, as well as other drug therapies.
What Can Cause Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy?
Until there is an advance of more effective cancer therapies, peripheral neuropathy complications of chemotherapy are increasing. Chemotherapy can cause degeneration of peripheral sensory and motor nerves, causing patients to see an increase in sensory disturbances, balance problems, or weakness.

What Our Patients Are Saying

I have been to many chiropractors over the years, but Dr Shultz has techniques I have never experienced. I have neuropathy from cancer treatment that causes numbness in my legs and feet. I have extreme weakness that causes falls, and makes climbing stairs difficult. Since I’ve started treatment I have started noticing the feeling coming back in my feet, and my ability to walk has become easier. I still have a long way to go, but I’m confident that this treatment is effective. The staff is also top notch, and makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I have been going to see Dr Schultz at Pittsburgh East Health Center for several months now, and I have received Excellent Care. Everyone Is Friendly and Pleasant . I Would Highly Recommend Pittsburgh East Health Center.
Pittsburgh E. Health Center has helped me through a very difficult time in my life with my back. When I thought nothing could be done they gave me hope. The treatments have been very successful I am very happy with my progress and with how everything has been handled. They are very professional but most of all very caring about the individual and my well-being. I highly recommend them to everyone. They actually make it pleasant to go for therapy
