Innovative Neuropathic Pain Relief in Richardson, TX
Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain state that usually is unaccompanied by tissue injury. With neuropathic pain, the nerve fibers themselves may be damaged, dysfunctional or injured. These damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to other pain centers. The impact of nerve fiber injury includes a change in nerve function both at the site of injury and areas around the injury. Symptoms of neuropathic pain may include shooting and burning and/or tingling and numbness. These symptoms typically occur in the area that the injured nerves serve. Neuropathic pain often has no obvious cause. But some common causes of neuropathic pain include: alcoholism; chemotherapy; AIDS neuropathy; phantom limb syndrome; multiple sclerosis; inguinal neuralgia; post herpetic neuralgia (shingles); and complex regional pain syndrome (RSD-CRPS).
Advanced care patients trust and doctors recommend
Dr. Arif B. Khan utilizes nonsurgical treatments to relieve pain caused by neuropathy. This is usually accomplished through medication management using prescription medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, antidepressants, antipsychotics, anti-seizure and narcotic analgesics. When needed, he can also do sympathetic and peripheral nerve blocks. Spinal cord stimulators used in the most resistant of cases have also been successful in relieving neuropathy for patients in Richardson, Garland, Mesquite and Rowlett, TX.
We see patients monthly and carefully evaluate them for medication at that time. If another condition, such as diabetes, is involved, better management of diabetic nerve pain may alleviate the pain. Dr. Khan has been helping referring doctors provide their neuropathy patients with quality care for their pain-relief needs for over a decade. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist with a subspecialty board certification in pain management and has completed a fellowship in pain management, as well.
