Symptoms Of Nerve Pain Injuries
Symptoms of Nerve Pain and Injury may include:
Pain
Sensitivity
Numbness
Tingling or prickling
Burning
Pins and needles
Weakness
Nerve injury can be classified into three types:
Neuropraxia– blockage of nerve conduction but the nerve is intact. Spontaneous recovery in 4-6 weeks.
Axonotmesis– internal structures of the nerve are damaged, with no or partial damage to the outer part.
Neurotmesis– rupture of the nerve. The most severe type of nerve injury with no chance of spontaneous recovery.
Treatment With Physiotherapy
Treatment by our highly skilled Chartered Physiotherapists can relieve nerve root compression caused by fibrous scar tissue following a disc prolapse and can treat conditions related to compression of the sciatic nerve by other structures.
Our Physiotherapists also aim to prevent further episodes of sciatic pain through teaching correct postural techniques, and exercises to correct any muscle imbalance in the spine.
Other Common nerves injuries include Brachial plexus injury and Foot drop. Depending on the severity of the nerve damage, the nerve may experience some recovery or in the case of a laceration injury, a permanent disability may result. Nerves grow about an inch per month in adults. Nerve compression is common in the cervical and lumber spine.
