Neuropathic Pain

This type of pain can have a profound impact on daily life, often leading to sleep disturbances, emotional stress, anxiety, and even depression. At Mind Scan, we understand that chronic pain isn’t just physical-it affects your mental health too. That’s why our approach is holistic, treating both body and mind.

Common Symptoms of Neuropathic Pain

• Burning or shooting pain
• Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation
• Numbness in hands, feet, or limbs
• Increased sensitivity to touch or temperature
• Pain from stimuli that shouldn’t hurt (e.g., light touch)
• Muscle weakness or coordination problems
• Sleep issues due to discomfort
• Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety due to ongoing pain

Common Causes of Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain can result from a wide range of conditions, including:

• Diabetes (Diabetic Neuropathy)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Stroke
• Nerve compression (like sciatica)
• Shingles (Post-herpetic neuralgia)
• Chemotherapy-induced nerve damage
• Infections (e.g., HIV)

In some cases, the cause may be unknown-yet the pain is very real and requires professional attention.

Mind Scan’s Holistic Approach

At Mind Scan, we treat neuropathic pain with a dual focus: relieving physical discomfort while supporting your emotional well-being.

Our treatment options may include:

• Multimodal pain management plans
• Psychological counseling to help cope with chronic pain
• Stress reduction therapies (mindfulness, relaxation techniques)
• Medication support (where applicable)
• Sleep and lifestyle guidance
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for pain perception and emotional impact

We work with each individual to build a personalized care plan that addresses both physical and psychological dimensions of pain.
