Nerve Pain Treatment

Nerve pain can feel sharp, burning, or radiating—often caused by compression, inflammation, or injury to delicate nerve pathways. At Meeting Point Health, we use targeted regenerative and functional therapies such as Nerve Hydrodissection and Peptide Therapy to calm irritation and restore healthy nerve function. Our approach addresses both the source and the symptoms, helping you find lasting relief and renewed comfort.

What Are The Different Types of Nerve Pain?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. This compression can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain, primarily affecting the first three fingers of the hand.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is caused by compression or irritation of the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck to the hand. This often occurs where the nerve passes under a ligament at the elbow. Symptoms include numbness and tingling in the ring and small fingers, along with pain that can radiate from the elbow down the arm to the shoulder or hand.

Sciatica

Sciatica results from irritation or impingement of the sciatic nerve, which starts in the lower back and travels through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. This condition can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the leg, and may lead to difficulty moving or feeling the foot.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome occurs when the nerves and blood vessels running from the neck through the armpit to the arm are compressed in the upper chest. Often seen in individuals performing overhead activities or with tightness in the neck and shoulders, this condition can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in the hand, shoulder blade, and neck, as well as weakness in certain hand muscles. Severe cases may also lead to symptoms like blood pressure changes, irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and other complications.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. This condition can cause a wide range of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or sharp pain, typically in the hands and feet. Neuropathy may also lead to muscle weakness, coordination issues, and sensitivity to touch. Common causes include diabetes, injuries, infections, and certain medications. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to managing symptoms and preventing further nerve damage.

What Are Symptoms of Nerve Pain?

Burning Sensation: A persistent or intermittent burning feeling in the affected area.
Sharp or Stabbing Pain: Sudden, intense jolts of pain that may feel like an electric shock.
Tingling or “Pins and Needles”: A prickling sensation, often in the hands or feet.
Numbness: Partial or complete loss of sensation in certain areas of the body.
Sensitivity to Touch: Pain or discomfort from light touch, even from clothing or bed sheets.

Treatment Options for Nerve Pain

These therapies for nerve pain focus on relieving discomfort and restoring mobility through various surgical alternative treatment options. Early intervention and a customized treatment plan can lead to effective recovery and prevent future issues.

Nerve Hydrodissection

Nerve hydrodissection involves the use of ultrasound-guided injections of an aqueous regenerative solution such as peptides to flush space around an entrapped nerve.

Prolozone

Prolozone therapy is a mixture of ozone gas and a prolotherapy solution is injected into the affected area, often around joints, ligaments, or tendons. The theory is that this combination not only irritates and strengthens the tissues (like prolotherapy) but also delivers the potential therapeutic benefits of ozone, such as improved circulation and tissue oxygenation. Prolozone combines procaine, dextrose, B vitamins, saline, oxygen, and ozone into a damaged joint and the combination allows for regrowth of damaged tissue.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma PRP therapy is a medical treatment that involves the use of a patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Once injected, the growth factors and other bioactive substances in PRP work to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote the formation of new blood vessels. This helps in reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing the overall healing process.

Acupuncture

Medical acupuncture uses needles to stimulate nerve activity, initiate muscle firing and induce the release of chemical substances such as neurotransmitters, endorphins, and hormones. This helps to reduce pain and boost your body’s natural healing ability.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy therapy is a medical injection procedure whose goal is to relieve pain and promote healing of musculoskeletal conditions, especially involving ligaments, joints, and tendons. Prolotherapy stimulates healing, causes inflammatory responses that increase blood flow and the arrival of immune cells and growth factors to the injection area, and tissue repair.

Peptide Therapy

Peptide Therapy can be introduced as an at-home treatment, and in-office for joint injection and nerve hydrodissection purposes. Peptide therapy introduces peptides to signal communication with our cells to perform a specific response. Administrating peptides elicits a response to regulate or improve physiological functions. For regenerative medicine, peptides for wound recovery, and tissue repair, reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery time, and promote cell migration and differentiation.

How To Diagnose Nerve Pain?

If you’re experiencing nerve pain, your doctor will evaluate your symptoms and medical history, followed by a comprehensive examination. This includes orthopedic testing and advanced ultrasound diagnostics to identify potential peripheral nerve entrapment.

FAQs

What makes Meeting Point Health Different from other clinics?

Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance?

No, we do not accept insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid; however, we do take HSA/FSA, cash and credit cards. We also work with CareCredit if you choose to finance.

Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, and the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.

Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition. For example, if you visit your physician for chronic knee pain, they will likely start with a steroid injection because insurance requires that you exhaust steroid injection efforts before discussing other options, which may possibly impair your overall chances of recovery. Not good!

Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.

Can I get an insurance reimbursement?

Good news! If you have out-of-network insurance benefits, you can submit your receipts for potential reimbursement. Depending on your plan, you may receive a percentage of the cost of your visit back either as a reimbursement check in the mail from the insurance company (or an equivalent amount applied to your out-of-network deductible, if applicable). Some plans reimburse up to 80%! All you have to do is ask the front desk for an insurance receipt after your visit.
