Nerve pain involves pain in an area associated with a particular nerve. Another word for nerve pain is neuropathy. There are several forms of nerve pain, the most well-known being sciatica.
The pain is often sharp and annoying. The symptoms often do not resolve themselves quickly, so targeted treatment can make an important contribution to the recovery process. In this article, you can learn more about the causes and symptoms of nerve pain and a chiropractor’s treatment for it.
Nerve pain is pain caused by damage or irritation to a nerve somewhere in the body. This can be anywhere in the body, such as the back, face, shoulder and limbs.
This condition may manifest as a sharp, stabbing pain, burning sensation, tingling, numbness or muscle weakness in the affected area. Unfortunately, in many cases the pain persists for weeks to months. The location of the nerve pain often indicates the type of nerve pain.
The pain is so intense because the nerves are responsible for the signaling function that pain actually is. Because the nerve itself is dysregulated, a pain signal is wrongly issued.
Nerve pain can be caused by inflammation or entrapment of the nerve. Thus, shingles can lead to inflammation or infection. A pinched nerve can be caused by a herniated disc or osteoarthritis, among other things.
In addition, damage to nerves such as from physical injury or diabetes can cause nerve pain. However, the cause of the pain is not always clear. Indeed, in facial pain, the cause of the pain is often unclear.
Several types of nerve pain can be distinguished. The most well-known of these are:
The most common symptom is prolonged pain. This pain may be constant or occur in intervals and may be tingling, prickling or burning. In addition, you may suffer from severe shooting pains.
It is also common, as opposed to tingling or burning pain, to feel dull or cold on part of the skin.
Trying to “rub away” the pain is pointless. In fact, this only makes the pain worse. Ordinary painkillers often do not help the pain. A family doctor can prescribe medication that does work.
However, it can take a long time to find out which medication works for you because it may take a while for the medication to kick in at all or the medication may not work at all and another kind is tried.
As a result of persistent pain, you may also suffer from sleep problems and fatigue. In addition, you may experience emotional symptoms such as anxiety, depression and irritability.
Chiropractic care can help when medications are not working to reduce pain or when you want to get rid of pain faster. A chiropractor specializes in treating complaints of the spine and nervous system.
The chiropractor looks for blockages in the body. Through pressure techniques, the practitioner attempts to release these blockages. These printing techniques can cause a crackling sound.
The cracking is not harmful because only a gas is released from the joint. That gas can be seen as bubbles. At the moment of manipulation, the joint opens slightly, allowing the air bubbles to escape and create the sound.
The type of nerve pain and associated symptoms vary from person to person. Also, treatment depends on the location of the complaint. Therefore, we examine your situation carefully before starting treatment.
The chiropractor and you will have a detailed conversation about your symptoms, after which the chiropractor will perform a physical examination. A treatment plan is then drawn up in consultation with you. Once this is completed, treatment can be started immediately. This treatment focuses not only on addressing the symptoms, but also the cause.
