NERVE PAIN TREATMENT
BOOK ONLINENerve Pain Assessment & Treatment in Cambridge
Sciatica, trapped nerves, and nerve entrapments can cause significant pain and functional limitation. Roshan provides thorough neurological assessment and targeted treatment to address the underlying cause, reduce symptoms, and restore normal nerve function.
What to Expect from Treatment
Nerve pain (neuropathic pain) presents differently from musculoskeletal pain — it may involve burning, shooting, tingling, or numbness along a nerve pathway. Assessment includes neurological testing (reflexes, sensation, muscle power), nerve tension tests, and spinal examination to localise the source of nerve irritation. Treatment addresses the underlying mechanical cause through manual therapy, nerve gliding exercises, and spinal mobility work. Education about pain neuroscience helps patients understand their symptoms and supports recovery. Severe or progressive neurological symptoms are identified during assessment and referred appropriately if further investigation is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain along the sciatic nerve pathway, typically caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. Physiotherapy assessment identifies the specific cause and guides targeted treatment.
How long does sciatica typically last?
Most episodes of sciatica improve significantly within 6–12 weeks with appropriate management. Physiotherapy can accelerate recovery and reduce recurrence risk through targeted exercise.
