Neurological conditions and chronic pain, explained in plain language. If your condition is not listed here, the office can tell you whether an evaluation would be appropriate.
Recurring head pain is rarely “just a headache”. The type matters, because the treatment differs.
Migraine occurring on 15 or more days a month. Often treatable with preventive medication or Botox where clinical criteria are met.
Attacks with light or sound sensitivity, nausea and one-sided throbbing pain that disrupt normal activity.
Severe one-sided attacks around the eye, occurring in bouts. A distinct condition requiring distinct treatment.
Sharp, shooting pain from the base of the skull upward, arising from irritation of the occipital nerves.
Where spinal pain involves a nerve, it needs a neurological assessment as much as a structural one.
Back pain persisting beyond three months, or returning repeatedly despite treatment.
Persistent neck pain, often with stiffness, headache or pain referred into the shoulder and arm.
Pain travelling from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg, caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve root.
A pinched or inflamed nerve root in the neck or lower back, producing pain, numbness or weakness along the nerve’s path.
Pain from the small joints of the spine, typically felt as localised ache and stiffness that worsens with movement.
Degenerative joint change in the spine contributing to ongoing pain and reduced movement.
Pain generated by the nervous system itself, rather than by injury to tissue.
Burning, tingling or numbness — usually starting in the feet or hands — caused by damage to the peripheral nerves.
Disproportionate, persistent pain in a limb after injury, often with changes in skin colour, temperature or swelling.
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling and night-time hand pain.
Nerve-type pain that has not yet been explained, where a structured neurological work-up is warranted.
Conditions where pain is not confined to one site and where a single-specialty approach often stalls.
Widespread musculoskeletal pain with fatigue and sleep disturbance, requiring a combined management approach.
Ongoing shoulder, knee or hip pain contributing to a wider chronic pain picture.
Cases where the diagnosis remains uncertain, or where previous treatment has not produced results.
You do not need a diagnosis before you call. Describe your symptoms to the office and they will tell you whether an evaluation with Dr. Rajneesh is the right next step.
