WE TREAT NERVE PAINS THROUGHOUT THE BODY

Nerve pain, also called neuralgia or neuropathic pain, occurs when a health condition affects the nerves that carry sensation to the brain. It is a distinct type of pain that feels different from other kinds of pain. It often manifests as a shooting, stabbing, or burning sensation and can sometimes be as sharp and sudden as an electric shock. People with neuropathic pain are often very sensitive to touch or cold and may experience pain from stimuli that would not normally be painful, such as brushing the skin. There may also be loss of sensation, numbness, and tingling. Visit Hope Neurological & Medical Services for testing and treatment.
