Nerve pain can feel like burning, shooting, or tingling, and it often does not respond to ordinary painkillers. Our team works out what is causing it and puts together a treatment plan that targets the nerve itself, so you can get proper relief.
Neuropathic pain affects roughly 7 to 10% of the general population. Getting the right diagnosis and treatment can make a real difference to how well it is managed.
Source: The Lancet NeurologyWe treat a wide range of nerve pain conditions. Here are the ones we see most often.
Pain that runs from the lower back down the leg when the sciatic nerve is compressed. Many people get shooting pain, numbness, or tingling. We help identify the cause and get you on the right treatment.
The median nerve gets squeezed at the wrist, so you get numbness, tingling, or pain in the hand and fingers. It often flares at night. We offer targeted treatment to ease the pressure on the nerve.
Damage to nerves outside the brain and spine, often causing burning pain, numbness, or weakness in the hands and feet. Causes include diabetes, injury, or other conditions. We help manage the symptoms and improve function.
Nerve pain that continues after shingles. It can last months or longer and feel like burning or stabbing. We work with you to reduce the pain and improve day-to-day life.
Intense facial pain from irritation of the trigeminal nerve, often triggered by touch or chewing. It can be very distressing. Our specialists offer treatments that can bring real relief.
Compression of the nerve that supplies the outer thigh, leading to numbness, burning, or tingling on the front or side of the thigh. We can help ease the pressure and improve your symptoms.
Nerve pain that does not settle or that affects your daily life is worth getting checked. See a specialist if you notice any of these.
The right treatment depends on the cause of your nerve pain. Here are the main approaches we use.
Targeted injections to reduce inflammation around compressed or irritated nerves. Can give significant relief when tablets alone are not enough.
We review and optimise medication that works on nerve pain, such as certain antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Getting the dose and type right can make a big difference.
Physio and exercise programmes to improve strength, mobility, and function. Often a key part of long-term nerve pain management.
