Neuropathic Pain – You have millions of nerve endings and branches that run throughout your body. When these nerves are damaged by injury, illness or surgery, the resulting pain is called neuropathic pain. Often, neuropathic pain is more intense and described as a sharp or stabbing feeling. Pain associated with mastectomy or amputation and diabetic neuropathy are examples of neuropathic pain. Combining physical therapy with electro therapies found in a physical therapist’s office can diminish or relieve neuropathy.
Periodically, your physical therapist will check your progress and adjust your goals to address your changing needs. The journey to overcome chronic pain and recover your body’s function may be long and winding. Fortunately, a qualified physical therapist can provide supportive treatment along the way.
