Nerve entrapment is common, with the most common being entrapment of the median nerve, known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Various other nerves can become entrapped in surrounding tissues as well.
When conservative measures for nerve entrapments fail they are often fixed with surgery.
We offer non-invasive and minimal-invasive alternatives to surgery for treatment of various nerve entrapments and chronic neuropathic pain:
Diagnostic ultrasound is a tool that uses sound waves to visualize structures inside the body and can aid in the identification of entrapped nerves as well aid in hydrorelease of entraped nerves.
Electromyography (EMG)
Electromyography is a tool that measures muscle response to electrical stimulation which allows for the precise diagnosis and localization of nerve-related problems.
Nerve Hydrodissection/Perineural Therapy
Nerve entrapment is common, the most common being entrapment of the median nerve, known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Various other nerves can be entrapped and when conservative measures fail they are often fixed with surgery. Hydrodissection offers a non-surgical approach by utilizing fluid to release the nerve from surrounding tissue structures, reduce pain and restore function. Entrapped or irritated nerves can result in pro-inflammatory pathways (TRPV1, Substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide) responsible for persistent pain that may affect the surrounding tissue environment or radiate pain to distant parts of the body. A variety of substances can be placed around these nerves and have been identified to inhibit these pathways and have neuro-regenerative properties.
Scrambler Therapy
Scrambler Therapy is a non-invasive solution that is 80-90% effective for chronic neuropathic pain for conditions like migraines, post-herpetic neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome/reflex sympathetic dystrophy (CRPS/RSD) and other neuropathies. This treatment uses a unique 4-phase neuromodulation frequency algorithm to alter pain signals through skin electrodes, helping your brain to perceive less pain through a process known as neuroplasticity. It's a drug-free approach that requires several sessions and has the potential to significantly improve your quality of life when other treatments have failed.
If you have suffered from nerve pain for more than 6 weeks, conservative approaches haven’t helped, and are interested in discussing minimally invasive treatment, please call our office (269) 883-6052 or contact us to schedule a consultation.
