Neuropathic Pain/Peripheral Neuropathy Pain in Beverly Hills CA

Neuropathic pain differs from inflammatory pain because it does not originate from the local area but from another point along the course of a nerve supplying the area. Depending on the origin of the pain, it can be central or peripheral neuropathic pain. 

While it is correctly considered as a chronic condition, neuropathic pain can be managed by a skilled specialist. It is one of the conditions we treat at the Orthopedic Pain Institute IN Beverly Hills. We use a combination of treatment options, including medications, injections, nerve stimulation or neuromodulation, to bring relief to patients. 

The Best Way to Treat Neuropathic Pain 

For the best results in the treatment of neuropathic pain, certain guidelines must be followed. The first important step is to identify the underlying medical condition. This helps the specialist to reduce or stop further degeneration of the nervous system. 

After the underlying condition has been identified and treated, the focus will be turned to the ongoing neuropathic pain. At this point, medication can become the major treatment option. Over-the-counter medications like antidepressants and anticonvulsant can be used. Pain creams and patches can be used in some instances to provide pain relief. 

Depending on the outcome of the treatment options used, a specialist may change the course of treatment at any time. For instance, if any of the medications in use cause intolerable side effects, some doctors may switch to peripheral nerve stimulation or spinal cord stimulation (depending on the type of neuropathic pain).
