Nerve damage can cause pain in several areas of the body. Examples of nerve damage Dr. Rosemary De La Cruz treats include:
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Nerve injury may cause chronic pain, which can affect an arm, leg, hand, or foot.
Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetes can cause nerve damage throughout the body that results in tingling and pain.
Ilioinguinal Neuralgia
This pain originates in the lower belly, genital area, and inner thigh from injury to the ilioinguinal nerve that runs through the lower back.
Occipital Neuralgia
Damage to the occipital nerve can cause pain in the neck, the back of the head, and behind the eyes.
Radiculopathy
Compression of a nerve root in the spinal column can cause pain in the neck or back.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
This facial pain typically results from a blood vessel putting pressure on the trigeminal nerve, which runs through the face.
