Nerve Pain
If you're experiencing discomfort, numbness, or a frequent tingling sensation anywhere in your body that doesn't seem to have any apparent cause, it may be stemming from a disorder in your nervous system. Carpal tunnel syndrome, herniated discs, and
nerve entrapment are all common sources of nerve pain. At the Center for Regenerative Sports & Spine Care, we treat these issues and more, offering patients a path toward relief. Some of the more common nerve conditions we see include:
- Abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment (ACNES): This condition comes from small nerves in the abdominal wall becoming trapped close to the surface, creating tenderness that is usually confined to one exact area. Patients with
ACNES are often told their imaging and abdominal testing look normal despite having very real, very specific pain.
- Brachial plexus injury: A brachial plexus injury can dramatically change how the arm feels and functions because the affected nerves control everything from shoulder motion to grip strength. Some injuries heal gradually, while
others leave lingering weakness, numbness, or altered sensation that affects daily use of the arm.
- Morton's neuroma: Shoes that once felt comfortable may suddenly become difficult to tolerate with Morton’s neuroma. Thickened tissue surrounding a forefoot nerve can make each step feel irritated, compressed, or electrically
sensitive near the toes.
- Nerve entrapment: Nerves are designed to glide smoothly through the body as joints and muscles move. Entrapment disrupts that motion, causing symptoms that may appear only in certain positions or repeatedly flare with specific
activities.
- Pudendal nerve pain/pudendal neuralgi: For many patients with pudendal neuralgia, simply sitting down can be uncomfortable and difficult. Pain may build gradually through the pelvis over the course of the day and can range
from burning irritation to severe hypersensitivity.
- Trigeminal neuralgia: Trigeminal neuralgia is known for causing sudden facial pain that feels far more intense than most people expect from a nerve disorder. Simple daily actions such as chewing, talking, or brushing the teeth
may trigger abrupt bursts of pain along the jaw, cheek, or forehead.
- Ulnar nerve pain: The familiar sensation you get from hitting your "funny bone" comes from the ulnar nerve, but ongoing compression can create much more persistent symptoms. Tingling in the ring and small fingers, hand weakness,
and loss of dexterity are common signs that the nerve is under strain.
