Pain Isn’t Just in Your Head - But It Might Be in Your Nerves

Understanding Neuropathic Pain and How to Finally Get Relief

Have you ever felt a sharp, shooting, burning or electric-like pain that doesn’t make sense - even when there’s no obvious injury? If so, you could be experiencing neuropathic pain - a complex condition that affects the way your nerves send messages to your brain.

Unlike muscle or joint pain, nerve pain can be relentless, misunderstood, and resistant to standard painkillers. For many people, it starts after surgery, an accident, or an illness like shingles or diabetes. But for others, the cause is harder to pinpoint.

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we specialise in getting to the root of difficult, persistent pain - and we don’t stop at “we can’t find anything wrong.”

What Does Nerve Pain Feel Like?

Patients describe neuropathic pain as:

• A burning or tingling sensation

• Sharp, stabbing, or electric shocks

• Pain triggered by touch, cold air, or even clothing

• Numbness, weakness, or hypersensitivity

It can affect the back, legs, arms, face, or torso - and often interferes with sleep, mobility, and mood.

Cutting-Edge Treatments That Target the Source

At The Manchester Pain Clinic, we offer advanced diagnostic tools to accurately assess nerve function and identify the source of your pain.

Once diagnosed, treatment may include:

• Image-guided nerve blocks

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Regenerative therapies

• Specialist medications tailored for nerve pain

• Psychological support to manage the emotional toll

We take a holistic, consultant-led approach, ensuring your treatment is effective, personalised, and delivered with compassion.
