What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy means damaged or malfunctioning nerves. When nerves are injured, they can misfire — sending pain signals when nothing is wrong, or failing to send normal sensation at all. Patients describe it as burning, pins and needles, stabbing or electric shocks, often with numbness or extreme sensitivity to touch. Nerve pain behaves differently from muscle or joint pain, which is why common pain relievers often do little for it. Understanding nerve pain.
Types of Nerve Pain We Treat
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathy — the most common form, usually starting in the feet. Learn more.
- Peripheral neuropathy from other causes — chemotherapy, vitamin deficiencies, alcohol, autoimmune disease, or no identifiable cause. Learn more.
- Nerve pain after surgery or injury — including pain after hernia repair, knee or foot surgery, or mastectomy. Coping with nerve pain after surgery.
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) — severe, spreading limb pain after an injury. What is CRPS?
- Post-herpetic neuralgia — lingering pain after shingles. Learn more.
- Radiculopathy — nerve pain from a pinched nerve in the neck or back, such as sciatica.
- Entrapment neuropathies — carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, tarsal tunnel and similar conditions.
- Occipital and trigeminal neuralgia — nerve pain in the head and face.
Our Approach: Find the Cause, Then Treat the Pain
Effective neuropathy care starts with understanding why your nerves are hurting. We review your medical history, medications and prior testing, and coordinate with your primary care doctor, endocrinologist or neurologist when blood sugar control, vitamin levels or other underlying causes need attention. Addressing the cause can slow progression; targeted pain treatment helps you function while that happens. How we manage neuropathy.
Treatment Options for Neuropathy and Nerve Pain
- Spinal cord stimulation — FDA-approved for painful diabetic neuropathy in the feet and legs, and one of the most effective options for CRPS. You try it first with a short trial.
- Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and peripheral nerve stimulation — focused stimulation for nerve pain in one area, such as the foot, knee, groin or after surgery.
- Nerve blocks — sympathetic blocks (lumbar sympathetic and stellate ganglion) for CRPS and certain neuropathic pain, plus targeted peripheral nerve blocks.
- Pulsed radiofrequency — a gentle, non-destructive radiofrequency treatment that can calm irritated nerves.
- Epidural steroid injections — when nerve pain comes from a pinched nerve root in the spine.
- Infusion therapy — for selected patients with severe, treatment-resistant nerve pain.
- Nerve-specific medications — managed carefully, as one piece of a broader, opioid-sparing plan.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Nerve pain tends to be easier to control when treated early, and conditions like CRPS respond best when care begins soon after symptoms appear. If burning, numbness or tingling is spreading, keeping you up at night, or affecting your balance, do not wait for it to “settle down.” Signs of nerve damage to watch for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neuropathy & Nerve Pain Treatment
It depends on the cause. Some neuropathy improves when the underlying problem, such as a vitamin deficiency or medication side effect, is corrected. Damage from long-standing diabetes is often not fully reversible, but the pain can usually be reduced significantly and progression slowed with good blood sugar control.
Spinal cord stimulation is FDA-approved for painful diabetic neuropathy, and many patients experience meaningful pain relief. You try the therapy first during a short trial, so you know whether it works for you before deciding on a permanent device.
Neurologists diagnose and monitor neuropathy, and primary care doctors and endocrinologists manage underlying causes such as diabetes. Interventional pain specialists treat the pain itself with procedures, neuromodulation and medication management. We frequently work alongside your other physicians.
Most neuropathy treatments we offer, including nerve blocks and spinal cord stimulation for qualifying patients, are covered by Medicare and major commercial plans when medically necessary. Call (972) 866-4246 or submit a benefit verification request to check your coverage.
