Neurological Disorder
Neurological conditions involve the complex network of your nerves and spinal cord. When something goes wrong in this system, it can lead to pain, unusual sensations, and a loss of function that disrupts daily life. The team of experts at The Family Pain and Wellness clinic is experienced in identifying the root cause of these issues and creating a personalized plan to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.
Neurological Conditions We Address at Our Clinic
Here are the neurological concerns that we address at our clinic:
1. Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. For those with this condition, even mild stimulation like brushing your teeth or putting on makeup can trigger a jolt of severe, shock-like pain.
The pain is typically brief but extremely intense, often described as debilitating. We understand how overwhelming this can be. Our approach focuses on advanced treatment options designed to calm the nerves and reduce the frequency and intensity of these painful episodes, helping you return to a more comfortable life.

2. Neuropathy/Nerve Pain
Neuropathy, often referred to as nerve pain, occurs when nerves are damaged or function abnormally. Instead of sending normal signals, they transmit incorrect messages to the brain, often perceived as pain.
People often describe neuropathy as a burning, shooting, stabbing, or shock-like pain. It can also feel like an electric shock.
This type of pain is common in the hands and feet, but it can affect other areas of the body. Diabetes, injuries, infections, and vitamin deficiencies are some of the many causes.
Our goal is to diagnose the specific type of neuropathy you have and use targeted therapies to help manage the pain and support nerve health.

3. Numbness/Tingling
That “pins and needles” sensation is common when a limb “falls asleep.” However, if numbness or tingling becomes persistent or occurs without a clear cause, it could signal a neurological issue.
This sensation means that the communication between your nerves and brain is interrupted.
Constant numbness can be dangerous, as it may lead to injuries you cannot feel. Tingling can be annoying and disruptive. We work to find where the nerve signaling is breaking down. Pinpointing the location and cause of the problem is the first step toward restoring normal sensation.
4. Electrodiagnostics/EMG
How do we find the source of your nerve problem? Often, we use tools like Electrodiagnostic testing, which includes an EMG (electromyography). This test measures the electrical activity in your muscles and the nerves that control them.
An EMG gives us a real-time look at how your nerves and muscles are communicating. The test helps us see how well your nerves are carrying electrical signals and how your muscles respond. It is a powerful way to confirm a diagnosis, assess the extent of nerve damage, and guide our treatment decisions.
The information from an EMG provides a clear roadmap for your care team.
