Nerve Pain

Effective Nerve Pain Relief in Chennai Without Surgery

Effective nerve pain relief depends on the cause, duration, and severity of the pain. With conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, vitamin deficiencies can be treated effectively, conditions like diabetic neuropathy, post herpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia can be difficult to treat depending on the individual. In Absolute Vital Health, we offer nerve pain treatment in Chennai  for a variety of conditions.

Common Causes of Nerve Pain

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is long-lasting nerve pain that can happen after a shingles infection. The pain usually occurs in the same area where the shingles rash appeared and can sometimes be severe enough to affect daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life. 

Diabetic neuropathy induced by diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common types of nerve damage. It can occur due to the toxic effects of high blood sugar directly affecting nerve cells. More than 80% of patients with diabetic neuropathy experience symptoms that are distal (starting in the feet or hands) and symmetric (affecting both sides similarly). Initial symptoms typically include reduced sensation, a burning sensation in the feet (especially at night and aggravated by touch), tingling in the feet, and occasional shooting pain. 

When a nerve gets “caught” or squeezed between muscles, it is called nerve entrapment or nerve compression. This happens when nearby muscles become tight, swollen, inflamed, or overused and press on the nerve. The pressure irritates the nerve and causes pain or abnormal sensations. Example: chronic neck, shoulder muscle spasms can cause nerves like suprascapular nerve, nerve to levator scapulae to get caught resulting in upper back pain.

Diabetic Neuropathy

In developed countries, diabetic neuropathy induced by diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common types of nerve damage. It can occur due to the toxic effects of high blood sugar directly affecting nerve cells. Additionally, both central and peripheral nerve structures can be damaged, often accompanied by dysfunction in the small blood vessels that supply the nerves (vasa nervorum).

More than 80% of patients with diabetic neuropathy experience symptoms that are distal (starting in the feet or hands) and symmetric (affecting both sides similarly). Initial symptoms typically include reduced sensation, a burning sensation in the feet (especially at night and aggravated by touch), tingling in the feet, and occasional shooting pain.

Treatment includes Pharmacological treatment ( Medications such as Neuropathic Pain Medications, Opioids) and Interventional management (Spinal Cord Stimulator)
