It is typical for people to get sick from time to time. Maintaining good health is essential to our well-being. Often, some diseases or conditions related to the nervous system cause pain. Usually, this pain is called neuropathic; it is considered a chronic pain condition. This condition can significantly impact one’s quality of life and daily functioning. It provokes various types of pain. Often, a person feels certain tingling, constant aching, and burning. Neuropathic pain occurs as a result of certain diseases, such as diabetes or even nerve injuries.

Treatment becomes essential for managing nerve pain. A person with neuropathic pain cannot sleep normally and usually function and live. It is essential to remain calm and seek help from a doctor in time. It is physical therapy that helps to avoid and eliminate it. Doctors such as physiotherapists allow you to get accurate diagnosis and prescribe good treatment. They prescribe the proper treatment that helps reduce pain. In general, it is possible to mix different types of treatment together with medications. A comprehensive approach will help you improve your health and feel comfortable.

Understanding Neuropathic Pain and Its Causes

Understanding-Neuropathic

It is essential to know what neuropathic pain is and how to avoid it. Neuropathic pain therapy allows you to feel significant relief after several procedures. It is aimed at maintaining human health and reducing pain. Neuropathic pain is chronic and occurs due to specific injuries. It causes great pain and discomfort for a person. It is different from other pain and is associated with damage to the nerve or certain signals. Even normal sleep can be unbearable due to neuropathic pain. Since certain nerve cells are damaged, the pain can be constant or regular. It is important to understand its causes in order to be able to treat it. Physical therapy for neuropathy is an ideal option for treating this pain. Here are the leading causes of neuropathic pain:

  • Diabetes. During this disease, a person has high blood sugar. Special medications help to reduce it and restore the entire process in the body. Often, the increase in this sugar can damage the nerves for a long time. This is what leads to chronic pain and, as a result, neuropathic pain.
  • Nerve damage. Certain human actions or physical activity can lead to nerve damage. Such an injury often occurs in certain life situations. Even surgery can cause nerve damage. A significant trauma, fracture, or accident can also do this. Pain management therapy is mandatory for nerve damage to repair.
  • Shingles. Shingles itself is characterized by the varicella-zoster virus. It is a severe disease that causes permanent neurological damage. It is characterized by constant aching pain accompanied by unpleasant sensations. 

It is essential to understand that neuropathy has a negative impact on nerve function. During this process, a person experiences decreased sensation throughout their body. The person’s sensory nerves, pain, and temperature become worse. Often, during this process, a person experiences chronic pain in the back. The pain can be treated with conventional medications and be successful over time. However, they will not be as effective as physical therapy for pain relief. This therapy is a practical element in the life of a person who has such pain. It helps to eliminate nerve dysfunction, which in turn helps to cope with pain.   

Why Physical Therapy is Effective for Treating Nerve Pain

Physical therapy for neuropathy is highly effective in controlling pain. It works in such a way as to restore functional limitations. It also has an effect on the damaged nerves to be able to remove the pain. It is essential to understand that neuropathic pain brings discomfort not only with pain and tingling. Because of this, the person suffering cannot move normally, movements are also hindered, and constant weakness is felt. Physical therapy is aimed at improving the processes of a person’s physiological state. It helps to fight stiffness and restore physical properties. It is important to understand that physical therapy should be combined with a person’s own life for comprehensive healing.

  • Treating nerve pain is aimed at improving a person’s health and condition. It works directly with the human nervous system to improve it. Our brain is very active and often receives various signals. Physical therapy itself is aimed at retraining the nerves to pass these signals to the brain. This process is essential for proper blood flow to the brain and its functioning.
  • Targeted treatments and exercises help improve overall health. Physical therapy plays a vital role in this. It works directly with the human nervous system. During this pain, a person feels discomfort and weakness in certain areas. In order to avoid muscle atrophy, nerve pain relief therapy becomes an ideal option. Special exercises help to restore limb mobility and achieve good results. Along with this activity, there has been progress in the human nervous system and improvement in its health. Such therapy is vital not only for pain management and its elimination. Special exercises help a person heal and regain their normal daily functioning.

Key Benefits of Physical Therapy for Neuropathy

Neuropathic pain relief exercises and physical therapy are key to human health. They help to avoid pain, increase mobility, and ensure health. An integrated approach of exercise and physical therapy has a positive effect on human health. Over time, pain disappears, mobility improves, and physical functions are restored. It is important to follow the advice of doctors and undergo physical therapy on time. This is what will allow you to feel pain relief and nervous system recovery. Here are the main benefits of physical therapy:

  • Improved mobility. Neuropathy often affects a person’s coordination and deprives them of physical activity. This pain can restrict movement and become a barrier to everyday life. Constant fatigue, muscle weakness, and pain are unbearable. Neuropathic pain relief exercises help restore muscle activity. Doctors often create individualized treatment plans based on the patient’s capabilities. Physical therapy is designed for a person’s mobility, current condition, and capabilities. Usually, specific exercises to coordinate balance and improve walking help a person. 
  • Reduction of pain. It is essential to understand that neuropathy causes unbearable pain that becomes the key to a healthy life. Physical therapy is aimed at reducing this pain and avoiding it in the future. Pain management therapy is the most important for achieving a good result. Creating special exercises and an individualized treatment plan is the main thing. Unique methods are also used to avoid pain. Often, this is through electrical stimulation or ultrasound therapy. 
  • Increase in strength. Often, neuropathy becomes an obstacle to the physical condition of a healthy person. Unique treatments and physical therapy help to avoid muscle weakness. They are aimed at increasing the stability of the whole body and improving its functions. Supporting the body and maintaining muscle strength is the most important. An entire course of nerve pain treatment is the best option to restore stability and reduce pain.

We all strive for a good quality of life and its fullness. It is essential to understand that physical therapy is aimed not only at restoring the human nervous system and body. It also provides critical emotional and psychological benefits. Creating particular tasks prescribed by doctors is helpful. Often, a person can participate in various activities aimed at their health.

Physical therapy for pain relief is vital for strengthening the body and improving a person’s life. There are certain exercises that are important for improving health. They are aimed at reducing the pain of nerve damage and improving a person’s physical condition. They help to become more flexible and strengthen muscles. Here are some effective exercises:

  • Aerobics. Another highly effective exercise is aerobic exercise. Usually, a person can use these exercises in everyday life. Regular walking, cycling, or swimming is beneficial. These exercises can become both strengthening and hobbies. They are suitable for the cardiovascular system and for strengthening muscles in general.

Pain Management Therapy: How Physical Therapy Fits In

Neuropathic pain therapy helps people reduce it and restore their physical fitness. When experiencing chronic nerve pain, a person experiences complete discomfort and weakness. Avoiding it is the most desirable thing for a person. There are several ways to support your body and get rid of pain. A comprehensive approach will help to achieve better results more quickly. Here are some tips:

  • It is essential to combine medications with physical therapy for comprehensive treatment. Physical therapy is aimed at reducing pain and eliminating its causes. Medications work to reduce pain immediately and allow a person to live a better life. An integrated approach will help you cope with this problem faster and be healthy.

Treating nerve pain is essential for well-being and restoring your health. It is important to understand that physical therapy really plays a vital role in eliminating pain. However, you should not forget about your lifestyle and its improvement. Regular sleep will help restore your nerves and reduce pain. Restricting junk food and alcohol will also have a positive impact.

Just such an amazing staff that makes you feel like part of their family. I’ve been going there for over 5 years now... and each visit I get the very best care and treatments that I have ever received in the 20+ years that I’ve been dealing with severe debilitating migraines. Since i started seeing them the number of my migraines has dropped from 15-20 a month to 2-3 every 3 month. I highly recommend them …they will change your life!read more

Dr. Askari was very kind and explained everything so I could understand. The other staff were nice as well. I would... have gave 5 stars but I was a little taken aback when I checked in and had to pay 600.00 upfront. I think that should have been discussed in a appointment confirmation call or email just so I could have been prepared.read more

I was obviously stressed, needing to see a neurologist. The staff was so patient and Dr. Ansari was so kind. At one... point he told me to relax, we have time, when I was relaying my history of my condition. That helped ease my stress. I have seen 3 other neurologists and he was the only one who performed any assessment tests on my cognitive and physical skills. At one point I couldn't complete two assessments and got upset and cried. I was told, it's OK. That's why you're here. I was truly impressed, and super pleased with the whole experience!read more

Since my first post my thoughts have changed here. It's unfortunate. My doctor and PA were great, but the office staff... is horrible. They never call you back when they say they will, they misinform you, they cause you too much stress wondering what's going on, they don't keep you posted. They never answer the phone. At this point I've left four messages in the last week, and I have sent three messages. Twice from their portal and one direct email. No response. My appointment is on Monday morning at 8:30am, no confirmation on my insurance and what's going on. What the heck is going on, this is ridiculous!I've given up... the stress her office staff has put me through is just not worth it. You can do so much better, please clean house, either change out your office staff, or find a way for them to be more efficient please. You have to do something. This is not how you want to run your practice. It leaves a very bad impression on your business.read more

Had very positive appointments with Jodie and Dr. Sheth for my migraine care. Jodie was so fast with the injections and... has so much valuable info. I started to feel light headed during checkout and the staff was SO helpful—giving me a chair, water, and taking me into a private room until I felt better. Highly recommend this practice for migraine patients, they know what they’re doing!!read more

I had such a good experience with Lone Star Neurology, Brent my MRI Tech was so awesome and made sure I was very... comfortable during the appointment. He gave me ear plugs, a pillow, leg support and blanket, easiest MRI ever lol 🤣 My 72 hour EEG nurse Amanda was also so awesome. She made sure I was take care of over the 3 days and took her time with the electrodes to make sure it was comfortable for me! Paige was also a huge help in answering all my questions when it came to my test results, and letting me know her honest opinions about how I should go forth with my treatment.read more

The professionalism and want to help attitude of this office was present from the moment I contacted them. The follow... up and follow through as well as their willingness to find a way to schedule my dad was above and beyond. We visited two offices in the same day with the same experience. I am appreciative of this—we spend a lot of time with doctors and this was top notch start to finish.read more

I love going to this office. The staff is friendly and helpful. The doctor is great. I am getting the best... neurological tests and treatment I have ever had. The only reason I did not give them a 5 star rating is because it is impossible to reach a live person at the office to reschedule appointments. Every time I have tried to get through to the office it says all people are busy and I am sent to a voicemail. If they could get their phone answering fixed, I would give them a strong 5 stars.read more

Let me start by saying that I have been coming here for years. Due to my autoimmune disease, I am in this office... once every three weeks for multiple hours at a time. The office is very clean and the staff very friendly. My only complaint would be there communication via phone. They aren't the best at responding if you leave a voicemail and expect a call back. I understand that this is prob just due to the sheer number of alls they receive daily. What I can say I like the best about the office are the people. Bobby who handles my infusions is great. I never have any issues with her setting up my infusions. She is very quick to reply to messages sent via text and if she were to leave then my whole opinion of the office may change. I also enjoy people like Matt, Lauren, and Jodi. I appreciate all that they do for me and without this team I'm not sure I would be as happy as I am to visit the office as frequently as I have to. Please ensure that these folks are recognized as they are what makes my visit to this office so tolerable :).read more
