Understanding Nerve Pain


When your hand gets too close to the stove, your nervous system sends a pain signal to your brain telling you to pull back before you get burned. But when your nervous system is damaged, it can misfire and trigger pain (burning, stabbing, shooting) without any real cause.

“I like AZ Pain Doctors because they prepped me carefully and explained everything. I had this nerve pain down the back of my left leg but after 3 injections in 3 weeks, it was gone. It has been over 2 years and I am ready for another visit. They are careful and clean. And after it's over, you visit the rest area room and get a treat and some OJ!”

“I felt so much pain from a crushed nerve and herniated disc post surgery, I didn't think I was ever going to get relief. Then Dr. Pico came into my life and is the only pain management office I will go to and/or refer my friends and family to. Never had any issues with making appts. Everyone is professional and caring. Don't know what I would do without them.”
