Nerve Pain | Orthopedic Treatment in Philadelphia

Nerve Hydrodissection Therapy

Nerve Hydrodissection is a precise, ultrasound-guided procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function by freeing nerves trapped in inflamed or scarred tissue. Using a gentle injection of fluid—often combined with nutrients or regenerative solutions—this treatment separates and protects the nerve from surrounding structures, improving circulation and reducing irritation. At Meeting Point Health, we use this advanced technique to treat nerve entrapments, chronic pain, and mobility issues safely and effectively. The result is reduced pain, improved nerve function, and a path toward lasting relief without surgery.

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 nerve pain treatment plan can lead to effective recovery and prevent future issues.

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. 

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.

How to diagnose nerve pain?

If you think you are 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.
