Burning, tingling, numb — and hard to explain.
Nerve pain doesn't behave like an ache. It burns, tingles, shoots, or goes numb, and it can be exhausting to describe — let alone treat. This is one of the areas where the right diagnosis matters most, because the treatments are specific and work best when they're targeted.
What to expect
Nerve conditions
we treat.
Pick the one closest to what you're feeling. Each links to a page that explains it in plain language — and how we'd approach treating it.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Burning, tingling, or numbness that usually starts in the feet or hands, often worse at night.
Your doctor may call this peripheral nerve damage or polyneuropathy.Diabetic Neuropathy
Nerve damage from high blood sugar — burning or numb feet that can creep upward over time.
Your doctor may call this diabetic peripheral neuropathy or DPN.Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Intense, out-of-proportion pain in a limb after injury, sometimes with swelling or color changes.
Your doctor may call this reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or causalgia.Shingles Pain (Postherpetic Neuralgia)
Lingering burning or stabbing pain in a band of skin, weeks or months after shingles.
Your doctor may call this postherpetic neuralgia or PHN.It's not a muscle ache — it's the wiring.
Nerve pain comes from the signaling system itself, which is why ordinary painkillers often barely touch it. It needs a different toolkit.
Why it feels so strange
When a nerve is irritated or damaged, it sends pain signals on its own — so the pain can burn, buzz, or go numb without anything 'wrong' at the spot that hurts. That's normal for nerve pain, and it's treatable.
- Burning, electric, or pins-and-needles pain points to a nerve
- Numbness and pain can occur in the same area
- Over-the-counter painkillers often don't help much
Neuropathic vs. nociceptive pain
We identify neuropathic pain by its quality, distribution, and exam findings, then localize the involved nerve or pathway with testing before selecting targeted medical or interventional therapy.
- Neuropathic pain responds to specific medications, not just NSAIDs
- Nerve blocks can both diagnose and treat
- Neuromodulation can help when pain is severe or persistent
Targeted relief,
not trial and error.
Nerve pain rewards precision. We match the treatment to the specific nerve and mechanism involved.
Medical management
Nerve-specific medications, topical therapies, and a plan to protect sleep and function while symptoms settle.
Nerve blocks & injections
Image-guided nerve blocks and injections that both confirm the source and quiet the pain.
Neuromodulation
Spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation for severe or persistent nerve pain that hasn't responded to other care.
From first call to real relief.
