Nerve pain—also known as neuropathic pain—can feel sharp, burning, tingling, or electric. It may stem from a variety of conditions, including sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), post-surgical nerve injury, or pinched nerves in the spine. Unlike muscle or joint pain, nerve pain is often chronic and difficult to control with over-the-counter medications alone.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe that pain relief should not come at the cost of your health or independence. That’s why our approach to nerve pain focuses on:
We’re here to help you find real, lasting relief—without relying on opioids.
Nerve pain—also known as neuropathic pain—originates from damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. Unlike muscle or joint pain, which stems from inflammation or injury to tissues and bones, nerve pain comes from irritated, compressed, or injured nerves, and often feels sharp, shooting, burning, or electric.
Muscle pain tends to be dull, sore, and improves with rest or massage. Joint pain often involves stiffness and swelling. But nerve pain lingers, flares randomly, and often worsens at night. It can also be accompanied by tingling, numbness, or hypersensitivity, making daily tasks feel unbearable.
NSAIDs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen treat inflammation—but they don’t correct nerve signal errors or restore nerve health. Opioids may dull the sensation, but they don’t address the underlying dysfunction. In fact, long-term use can lead to:
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we take a different approach—non-opioid therapies that treat the root cause and help your nerves heal naturally.
Opioids are often prescribed for pain—but when it comes to nerve pain, they may do more harm than good. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we’ve seen firsthand how short-term relief from opioids can lead to long-term setbacks.
The body quickly builds a tolerance to opioids, meaning higher and higher doses are needed to get the same effect. This can lead to:
The opioid crisis in America underscores just how dangerous this path can become—especially when nerve pain persists for months or years.
While opioids may numb the pain temporarily, they do nothing to repair nerve damage or dysfunction. Nerve healing requires:
Opioids suppress the symptoms but don’t support the biological recovery process—often delaying more effective treatment.
Pain is your body’s way of signaling something is wrong. Opioids silence that signal—but the underlying damage continues. That can:
At Medici, we believe pain management should be about healing, not hiding. Our non-opioid therapies aim to restore nerve health, reduce inflammation, and improve your quality of life—safely and sustainably.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we specialize in cutting-edge, non-opioid solutions designed to address the root causes of nerve pain. Our approach is comprehensive, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique condition and recovery goals.
These targeted procedures are performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to deliver medication precisely where your pain begins—whether it's a compressed nerve root or an inflamed spinal joint. Benefits include:
These are often used to stabilize pain so that you can fully participate in physical therapy and recovery.
For patients with severe or treatment-resistant nerve pain—especially after surgery or with conditions like CRPS—spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offers a life-changing solution. SCS works by sending mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. Ideal for:
This FDA-approved, non-opioid technology is fully reversible and can often reduce or eliminate the need for medications.
For those seeking to heal nerves naturally, regenerative medicine options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and biologic injections can support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. These therapies use your own body’s healing cells to:
They are especially beneficial in mild to moderate nerve compression, post-traumatic neuropathy, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Nerve pain can impair your mobility, strength, and balance. Our expert-guided physical therapy programs are designed to:
Neuromuscular re-education retrains the body to move without triggering pain, which is critical for lasting recovery.
Not all medications are addictive. Our pain specialists carefully select non-opioid options based on your nerve condition, including:
These treatments offer relief without the risks of sedation or dependence.
Oxygen is a powerful healer. At Medici, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to:
This can be especially beneficial for diabetic neuropathy, CRPS, and post-surgical nerve pain.
Sometimes, nerve pain isn’t just about the nerve—it’s about the surrounding tissue. Our trained therapists use myofascial release and manual scar tissue therapy to:
This hands-on approach is both gentle and effective—especially after surgery or trauma.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we specialize in helping patients overcome complex nerve pain using non-opioid, minimally invasive treatments. Whether your symptoms are recent or chronic, we provide customized solutions that target the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Pain shooting down the leg from the lower back—often caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis—can be debilitating. We use image-guided nerve blocks, physical therapy, and spinal cord stimulation to ease inflammation and relieve nerve pressure safely.
Tingling, burning, or numbness in the hands or feet is often related to diabetes or circulatory issues. Medici offers non-opioid therapies such as regenerative medicine, HBOT, and balance-focused physical therapy to protect nerves and restore function.
When pain worsens instead of healing after surgery or injury, our integrative approach can help. We specialize in treating CRPS and post-laminectomy nerve irritation using advanced neuromodulation, myofascial therapy, and anti-inflammatory strategies.
From cervical radiculopathy to trigeminal or occipital neuralgia, our team uses precise diagnostics to locate compressed or inflamed nerves and treat them with non-opioid injections, nerve stimulation, and manual therapy techniques that provide lasting relief.
