Treatment for numbness and tingling depends entirely on the cause. Nerve compression at the wrist, a diffuse neuropathy and an irritated nerve root in the neck all produce similar symptoms and respond to completely different things, which is why localisation comes before treatment.
Treatment for numbness and tingling depends entirely on the cause. Nerve compression at the wrist, a diffuse neuropathy and an irritated nerve root in the neck all produce similar symptoms and respond to completely different things, which is why localisation comes before treatment.
This is the part that most changes outcomes. A compressed median nerve at the wrist often responds to splinting, activity modification and sometimes injection, with surgery considered if those fail. A diffuse neuropathy is treated by addressing what is driving it, whether that is glucose control, a vitamin deficiency, thyroid disease or a medication, alongside symptom relief. A cervical nerve root problem is different again.
Medications used for nerve pain can make symptoms considerably more tolerable while the underlying cause is addressed. They do not repair the nerve, and using them as the whole plan is how a treatable cause gets missed. Ordinary painkillers tend to work poorly for nerve pain, which is a common source of frustration.
The Henderson office on West Horizon Ridge Parkway runs its own AANEM-accredited electrodiagnostic laboratory, so the study that establishes the cause is done and read there. Ongoing management continues at the same office, and the record is shared with Las Vegas if a follow-up is easier on that side of the valley. This practice performs no surgery.
Clinical Neurology Specialists has been physician-owned since 1998, when Leo Germin, M.D., FAANEM founded it. Five board-certified neurologists and four advanced practice providers see patients at the Las Vegas and Henderson offices, each with its own AANEM-accredited electrodiagnostic laboratory.
