Nerve pain can feel like electric currents, sharp shocks, burning sensations, cold or crawling feelings, or even flowing sensations along your arm or leg. It’s often accompanied by pins and needles, numbness, or muscle weakness.
Nerves are the body’s communication lines, carrying messages between your brain and the rest of your body. Nerve pain occurs when these signals are disrupted—damaged nerves can distort messages, create new pain signals, or block normal signals altogether. In some cases, even non-painful signals can feel painful. The result? Pain that can range from mild irritation to severe discomfort.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, the most common nerve pain we see comes from injuries to the neck or lower back. However, nerve pain can arise from many causes, including:
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Nerve pain can be effectively managed if caught early, but delays make recovery more challenging. Our Belmore physiotherapists specialise in timely assessment, tailored treatment, and rehabilitation to reduce symptoms, restore function, and prevent further complications.
When needed, we work closely with leading pain specialists to ensure you have access to medications, surgical options, or advanced interventions—integrating these seamlessly into your recovery plan.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we assess and treat a wide range of nerve-related conditions, including:
The only reliable way to know is through a thorough assessment by an expert physiotherapist. Many people delay treatment, spending weeks or months on scans, GP visits, and referrals that aren’t necessary to start improving.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we prioritise early assessment and early treatment. Once we understand your condition, we can create a targeted plan to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent further complications. If additional investigations or specialist referrals are needed, we coordinate them seamlessly, so your recovery stays on track from day one.
