I’m Dr. Chad Walding, a physical therapist who spent more than ten years working with seniors in Texas.
When I began my career, I accepted the common belief that nerve damage was permanent—something people simply had to endure. My training taught me that once nerve pain started, it would only deteriorate with time.
Standard treatments offered minimal, temporary relief. My patients often relied on numerous medications that dulled their pain only slightly while causing unpleasant side effects. It was disheartening for them—and for me.
That perspective shifted dramatically when I discovered a “nutrition-first” approach. In particular, I learned about one key mineral that reshaped how I viewed and treated nerve pain.
The Inflammation-Nerve Pain Connection
Older adults suffering from nerve pain often try everything—chiropractic care, acupuncture, prescription painkillers, heat therapy, and more. But these methods usually target the symptoms, not the underlying issue.
That root issue? Chronic, uncontrolled inflammation.
When inflammation runs rampant, it irritates nerve endings and puts pressure on them, sending constant pain signals to the brain. Think of it like a garden hose with a kink: the pressure builds up and causes damage.
Chronic inflammation doesn’t just affect nerves—it can disturb sleep, elevate stress, and impact cardiovascular health. The good news? There’s a way to address it—starting with a commonly overlooked mineral.
