Burning, tingling, or shooting nerve pain can feel overwhelming, but with targeted therapies, lasting relief is possible.
Neuropathic pain happens when nerves themselves are damaged or irritated, sending faulty pain signals to the brain. Unlike regular pain from an injury or inflammation, neuropathic pain is often persistent, intense, and resistant to common medications.
Unlike muscle or joint pain, neuropathic pain is often resistant to standard painkillers , and the pain can be too severe for physical therapy alone to be effective. Because the nerves themselves are malfunctioning, specialized treatments are required to reset or block the abnormal pain signals.
