About nerve pain care at our clinic
Burning, tingling, electric shocks or numbness can be signs that a nerve is irritated. Some nerve pain comes from the spine and may suit chiropractic care; much of it does not. Knowing the difference is the first priority.
- Many causes. Nerve symptoms can relate to the spine, diabetes, vitamin levels and more.
- Careful screening. Reflexes, sensation and strength are checked at your first visit.
- GP partnership. We refer when symptoms point beyond the musculoskeletal system.
