Managing nerve pain at home is totally possible — and often an important part of a well-rounded treatment plan.
Here are some helpful remedies to try:
- Warm baths – Soothe irritated nerves and relax tense muscles
- Gentle stretching or yoga – Keeps your nerves from getting “stuck”
- Over-the-counter pain creams – Look for capsaicin or lidocaine
- Good sleep hygiene – Nerve pain can be worse when you’re tired
- Anti-inflammatory foods – Salmon, berries, turmeric, leafy greens
- B vitamins – Especially B12 and B6 (ask your doctor first!)
- Foot and hand massage – Can ease numbness and promote circulation
Of course, if the pain is severe or getting worse, home care alone might not be enough — and that’s where we come in.
