Overview
Nerve pain (neuropathic pain) feels different from muscle or joint pain — it is often described as burning, shooting, electric, or accompanied by numbness and tingling. Common causes include nerve compression from disc herniation (sciatica, radiculopathy), thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and piriformis syndrome. Identifying the source of nerve irritation is essential for effective treatment.
Common Symptoms
- Burning, shooting or electric pain along a limb
- Numbness, tingling or pins and needles
- Weakness in the affected arm or leg
- Pain that radiates from the spine into a limb
- Symptoms that change with position or movement
- Night pain or symptoms that disturb sleep
How We Can Help
We conduct a thorough neurological screening assessment to identify the source and extent of nerve irritation. Treatment addresses the mechanical causes of nerve compression — whether from disc, joint, muscle or fascial structures. Neural mobilisation techniques, postural correction and targeted exercises form the basis of our approach. We refer for imaging or specialist review when indicated.
