Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain caused by nerve damage or irritation, rather than by an injury to muscles, bones, or tissues. Unlike typical pain, which acts as a warning signal, neuropathic pain can persist long after an injury has healed—or occur even when there’s no obvious cause.
Neuropathic pain can develop after spinal surgery, nerve injuries, or conditions such as Diabetic neuropathy, Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), or chronic back and leg pain from nerve compression. In many cases, spinal cord stimulation is recommended when other conservative treatments have failed to provide sufficient relief and pain significantly impacts daily activities, sleep, or quality of life.
