Neuropathic Pain & Neuropathy
Understanding Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a complex condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It refers to pain caused by damage or dysfunction of the nervous system, specifically the nerves. This type of pain can be chronic, debilitating, and have a significant impact on a person's quality of life.
Causes and Symptoms
1. Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common causes of neuropathic pain. It occurs as a result of prolonged high blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and burning sensations in the affected areas.
2. Post-Herpetic Neuralgia
Post-herpetic neuralgia is a condition that arises after a person has experienced shingles. It leads to persistent pain in the area where the shingles rash occurred. This type of neuropathic pain can be quite intense and difficult to manage without professional assistance.
3. Spinal Cord Injury
Neuropathic pain can also develop as a result of spinal cord injuries. When the nerves in the spinal cord become damaged, it can lead to chronic pain and other associated symptoms. Individuals who have experienced spinal cord injuries often require specialized treatment to manage their pain effectively.

1. Medications
We offer a range of medications that can help manage neuropathic pain, including antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and topical creams. Our doctors carefully evaluate each patient's condition to determine the most suitable medication and dosage for optimal pain relief.
2. Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks are a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting medication directly into the affected nerves to block pain signals. This technique can provide significant relief for individuals with neuropathic pain by temporarily numbing the affected area.
