Nerve pain

Nerve pain is pain that radiates and may feel like a shooting, stabbing, or burning sensation. But what causes it?

• The nerve is infected or inflamed.
• It’s pinched (herniated disc).
• Or it’s been damaged.

Our pain management physician diagnoses nerve pain based on its cause and physical location. That requires a specialised method and approach.

And the solution? From experience, we know that traditional painkillers usually fail to provide sufficient relief. And that’s why we deliberately pursue supplementary pain treatment. Patients benefit from manual decompression (our chiropractors apply the COX method) across the board.

Below, you’ll find a handful of nerve pain-related examples that we can help with:

• Herniated disc (neck)
• Herniated disc (back)
• osteoarthritis induced nerve compression syndrome (trapped nerves)
• spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal column)
• carpal tunnel syndrome (a pinched nerve at the wrist)
• post-surgical chronic pain, etc.

These are complex pains that require cautious, nuanced, and expert care.

During your first consultation, we’ll explain everything to you in detail. Give us a call in advance if you aren’t sure which team member you should schedule a consultation with for your specific complaint.
