Nerve & Neuropathic Pain
Nerve pain — also called neuropathic pain — can be sharp, burning, tingling, or radiating, and is often one of the most difficult types of pain to live with. At Innovative Pain and Wellness (IPW), our board-certified specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating nerve-related pain conditions. From peripheral neuropathy to complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), we provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Understanding Nerve & Neuropathic Pain
Unlike muscle or joint pain, neuropathic pain originates from damage, irritation, or dysfunction in the nervous system. It may be constant or come and go, and often feels like burning, stabbing, or electric shocks. Nerve pain can result from diabetes, injuries, surgery, infections, or degenerative conditions. Without proper management, neuropathic pain can interfere with sleep, mobility, and daily activities, making early treatment essential.
Common Conditions We Treat
At IPW, we specialize in a wide range of nerve pain conditions, including:
-
Peripheral Neuropathy – Nerve damage often caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, or other conditions that leads to numbness, burning, or tingling in the hands and feet.
-
Trigeminal Neuralgia – Severe, shock-like facial pain caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve.
-
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) – A chronic pain condition usually affecting an arm or leg, often after an injury or surgery, leading to burning pain, sensitivity, and swelling.
-
Post-Surgical or Post-Injury Nerve Pain – Lingering pain after procedures or trauma due to nerve irritation or damage.
-
Sciatica & Lumbar Radiculopathy – Pinched nerves in the lower back causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness down the leg.
-
Cervical Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve in the Neck) – Irritated nerves in the cervical spine that cause radiating pain into the arms.
Advanced Treatment Options
We offer a variety of non-surgical, evidence-based therapies designed to calm irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and interrupt pain signals. Your personalized treatment plan may include:
-
Epidural Steroid Injections (Cervical, Lumbar, Caudal) – Reduce inflammation around compressed nerves.
-
Nerve Blocks (Peripheral, Stellate Ganglion, Lumbar Sympathetic) – Provide diagnostic and therapeutic relief by interrupting pain pathways.
-
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Offers longer-lasting relief by deactivating pain-signaling nerves.
-
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Trials – Advanced therapy for chronic, treatment-resistant neuropathic pain.
-
Trigger Point Injections – Relieve muscle tension that can worsen nerve pain.
-
PRP Therapy & Regenerative Options – May help support tissue repair and improve nerve-related symptoms.
-
Comprehensive Rehab Guidance – Helps patients regain function, mobility, and independence.
