Causes
Diabetes, chemotherapy, shingles, surgical nerve injury, spinal nerve compression and CRPS all produce neuropathic pain.
Treatment
Neuropathic medication, topical compounds, sympathetic blocks and peripheral nerve blocks are combined based on your pattern and response.
Function first
Desensitization work, sleep management and graded activity are essential; controlling the nerve signal alone rarely restores function on its own.
What this may include
- Neuropathic medication management
- Sympathetic and peripheral nerve blocks
- Topical and compounded therapies
- Desensitization and balance therapy
