Nerve pain, also known as neuralgia or neuropathic pain, is a condition that arises when the nerves responsible for transmitting sensations to the brain are affected by an underlying health issue. It is a distinct type of pain that differs from other forms of pain. Neuralgia often presents as a shooting, stabbing, or burning sensation, sometimes resembling a sharp and sudden electric shock. Individuals with neuropathic pain tend to be highly sensitive to touch or cold, experiencing pain from stimuli that would not typically elicit discomfort, such as a light brush against the skin. This condition can also lead to a loss of sensation, numbness, and tingling.

If you are experiencing symptoms of nerve pain, it is crucial to seek professional help for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. At Hope Neurological & Medical Services we specialize in testing and treating neuropathic pain.
