Neuropathy and nerve-related pain

At our clinic, we provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing neuropathy and nerve-related pain. Our approach combines cutting-edge medical treatments, personalized care, and a holistic perspective to address the root causes and alleviate symptoms. Here’s an overview of how we treat neuropathy and nerve-related pain:

1. Initial Consultation and Diagnosis

• Thorough Patient Evaluation:

  • Detailed medical history review.

  • Assessment of lifestyle, occupational hazards, and dietary habits.

  • Exploration of symptoms (onset, duration, triggers, and severity).

• Physical Examination:

  • Neurological exam to evaluate sensation, reflexes, strength, and coordination.

• Diagnostic Testing:

  • Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) to evaluate nerve and muscle function.

  • Blood tests for diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune markers.

  • Imaging studies (MRI/CT) to rule out nerve compression or other structural issues.

  • Skin or nerve biopsy for specific conditions if needed.

2. Personalized Treatment Plans

After identifying the underlying cause, we design a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.

a. Medical Management

• Pain Control:

  • Non-opioid Medications: Gabapentin, pregabalin, or duloxetine.

  • Topical treatments like lidocaine patches or capsaicin cream.

• Addressing Underlying Causes:

  • Blood sugar management for diabetic neuropathy.

  • Vitamin supplementation for deficiencies (e.g., B12).

  • Treatment of infections or autoimmune conditions.

• Adjunctive Therapies:

  • Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or plasma exchange for inflammatory neuropathies.

b. Lifestyle and Supportive Therapies

• Nutritional Counseling:

  • Focused on diets rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins to support nerve health.

• Physical Therapy:

  • Exercises to improve mobility, strength, and balance.

• Weight Management:

  • For patients with obesity or metabolic syndromes.

• Smoking and Alcohol Cessation:

  • Guidance and support to minimize factors that exacerbate neuropathy.

3. Advanced Interventions

For patients with severe or refractory symptoms, we offer specialized treatments:

• Nerve Blocks:

  • Localized injections for temporary pain relief.

• Neuromodulation:

  • Spinal cord stimulation for chronic nerve pain.

• IV Infusions:

  • Alpha-lipoic acid or lidocaine for certain neuropathies.

• Minimally Invasive Procedures:

  • Decompression surgeries for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.

4. Integrative and Holistic Therapies

• Acupuncture:

  • To stimulate nerve repair and reduce pain.

• Mind-Body Techniques:

  • Stress management through meditation and mindfulness.

• Low-Level Laser Therapy:

  • For nerve regeneration and inflammation reduction.

5. Ongoing Care and Monitoring

• Regular follow-ups to adjust treatment based on progress.

• Comprehensive support for mental health and coping strategies.

• Collaboration with other specialists (e.g., endocrinologists, rheumatologists) for multifaceted conditions.
