Painful Diabetic Neuropathy

Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a type of nerve damage that occurs in people with diabetes. Elevated blood sugar levels over time can injure peripheral nerves, particularly in the feet and hands, causing chronic pain, tingling, numbness, or burning sensations.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that usually develops after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. The pain is often disproportionate to the initial injury and may be accompanied by changes in skin color, temperature, and swelling in the affected limb. CRPS typically affects an arm or leg but can occur in other areas as well.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves, responsible for transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, become damaged or dysfunctional. This can lead to sensations such as pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness, most commonly in the hands and feet. Depending on which nerves are affected, symptoms may also impact balance, coordination, or muscle control.

Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve)

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the spine becomes compressed or irritated, often due to a herniated disc, bone spur, or narrowing of the spinal canal. This compression can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates along the path of the affected nerve, commonly impacting the neck, arms, lower back, or legs depending on the location. When nerves in the lower spine are affected, symptoms often travel down the leg, a condition sometimes referred to as sciatica.

Sciatica

Sciatica is pain that travels from your lower back down one leg, usually caused by pressure on a spinal nerve. It can feel sharp, burning, or electric, and may come with numbness, tingling, or weakness.
