When to See a Neurologist for Chronic Pain

More than just a physical inconvenience, chronic pain may be an indication of a neurological problem. With our telemedicine services, we at Optimal Neurocare help you decide whether to seek the advice of a neurologist. Better management and alleviation might result from knowing when to take action. Here are several warning signs and the importance of professional care

Identifying the Symptoms

Attention should be paid to chronic pain that lasts more than three months, particularly if it is persistent or getting worse. Keep an eye out for signs like excruciating headaches, burning or tingling nerve pain, or discomfort following an incident like a concussion. Pain is a warning sign if it interferes with mood, sleep, or day-to-day functioning. These might point to disorders that neurologists are trained to diagnose, such as neuropathy, migraines, or spinal problems

Why a Neurologist?

Neurologists specialize in the neurological system, which includes the brain, spine, and nerves and is where chronic pain frequently begins. General practitioners are excellent for providing initial therapy. To identify the causes, they employ individualized evaluations and sophisticated diagnostic instruments. Our board-certified neurologists at Optimal Neurocare provide virtual consultations, going over your medical history and symptoms to develop individualized treatment regimens that may include medication or neuromodulation therapy.

When to Act

If over-the-counter pain relievers don't work or if you experience new symptoms like weakness, numbness, or changes in your eyesight, consult a neurologist. Urgent assessment is also necessary for sudden, intense pain or discomfort after a fall. Early management can stop the progression of illnesses such as post-stroke pain or fibromyalgia. It's simple with our telemedicine platform; schedule a visit from home to cut down on delays.
