Nerve pain, also known as neuropathic pain, can be a challenging condition that significantly impacts your quality of life. Our dedicated team at Kinetic Physical Therapy is here to help you find relief and feel better.
Understanding Nerve Pain
Nerve pain is a complex condition that arises from damage or dysfunction of the nervous system. It feels different from regular muscle or joint pain and can be sharp, burning, tingly, or make you feel numb.
Individuals with nerve pain often describe it as an intense and persistent discomfort that can significantly affect daily activities.
Common Symptoms of Nerve Pain
Identifying nerve pain is crucial for prompt intervention and effective treatment. Common symptoms include:
- Sharp or shooting pain
- Burning sensation
- Tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Radiating pain
Areas Affected by Nerve Pain
Nerve pain can occur in many parts of the body, affecting both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Some common areas include:
Spine and Back
Conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis can compress nerves, leading to pain in the back and radiating down the legs.
Neck and Shoulders
Nerve pain originating from the neck can extend into the shoulders and arms, causing discomfort and limited mobility.
Limbs
Peripheral neuropathy can affect the nerves in the arms and legs, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling.
Feet and Hands
Diabetic neuropathy and other conditions can cause nerve pain in the extremities, affecting balance and coordination.
