Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is widely used following injuries to promote recovery. Many patients with neuropathic pain will benefit from a formal exercise routine. Even the lightest amount of exercise and stretching can be beneficial. Certain physical therapy modalities also can be very useful. For painful muscle spasms, manual therapy and therapeutic massage can be helpful. Electrical stimulation also helps many patients with neuropathic pain. This type of therapy is called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation or TENS.
