Peripheral nerve pain occurs when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or irritated. This type of pain is often sharp, burning, or tingling and can affect your arms, legs, or other areas. Proper care from a nerve specialist and nerve therapy can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Peripheral nerve pain is common in conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, nerve compression, and nerve inflammation, and requires effective pain management and pain relief strategies.

Treatments range from conservative treatment to surgery. Our goal is to provide you with the best treatment plan to reduce pain, but these treatments do not change the underlying source of pain. Medical treatments are often used in combination such as: medications, physical therapy programs, and injection therapy.
Treats radiating pain; deposit the medication, typically steroids in the epidural space of the spine.
Targets a specific spinal nerve and deposit medication around the nerve at the point where it exits the intervertebral foramen (bony opening between adjacent vertebrae).
Treat pain stemming from a specific facet joint.
Deposit medication around the medial branches of spinal nerves. The medial branch is a nerve that sends pain signals to the brain from an arthritic facet joint. An injection directed around the medial branch can relieve neck and lower back pain.
Treats pain by lesioning medial branch nerves of the facet joints.
