Expert Care for Complex Nerve and Body Conditions

Have chronic pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations, or unexplained discomfort?

Living with chronic pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations, or unexplained discomfort can dramatically affect every aspect of your life. Whether symptoms are caused by nerve damage, spinal conditions, injury, inflammation, or chronic disease, finding the source of your pain is the first step toward lasting relief.

At Apex Advanced Spine & Pain in Boise, Idaho, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of nerve and body conditions that affect mobility, function, and quality of life. Our team combines advanced diagnostics, evidence-based therapies, interventional pain management, medication management, physical rehabilitation strategies, and personalized treatment plans to help patients regain control of their health and return to the activities they enjoy.

Nerve disorders and chronic pain conditions can impact the entire body. Because the nervous system serves as the communication network between the brain, spine, muscles, joints, and organs, even a small disruption can lead to widespread symptoms. Peripheral nerve disorders can cause pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, balance problems, and functional limitations. Millions of Americans are affected by these conditions every year.

At Apex Advanced Spine & Pain, we focus on identifying the root cause of symptoms rather than simply masking pain.

Understanding Nerve and Body Conditions

The nervous system controls movement, sensation, balance, coordination, and many automatic bodily functions. When nerves become irritated, compressed, inflamed, or damaged, communication between the brain and body can be disrupted.

This disruption may lead to symptoms such as:

Numbness
Tingling
Burning sensations
Electric shock-like pain
Muscle weakness
Balance difficulties

Reduced coordination
Sensitivity to touch
Chronic pain
Fatigue
Mobility limitations

Nerve-related conditions may develop gradually or appear suddenly following injury, surgery, illness, or disease. Common causes include diabetes, spinal disorders, trauma, nerve compression, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and degenerative conditions.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged. Symptoms commonly begin in the feet and hands and may progress over time.

Patients often experience:

  • Burning pain
  • Tingling sensations
  • Numbness
  • Muscle weakness
  • Sensitivity to touch
  • Balance problems
  • Difficulty walking

Peripheral neuropathy may result from diabetes, injury, autoimmune disease, infections, chemotherapy, or other medical conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve function and reduce symptoms.

Sciatica

Sciatica is one of the most common nerve-related pain conditions. It occurs when irritation affects the sciatic nerve, causing pain that travels from the lower back into the buttocks, hip, and leg.

Common types include:

  • Radiating leg pain
  • Burning sensations
  • Tingling
  • Numbness
  • Weakness
  • Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods

Our comprehensive approach focuses on reducing nerve inflammation while restoring mobility and function.

Occipital Neuralgia

Occipital neuralgia affects nerves at the base of the skull and often causes:

  • Headaches
  • Neck pain
  • Scalp sensitivity
  • Pain behind the eyes
  • Shooting pain into the head
  • Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods

This condition is often mistaken for migraines or tension headaches. Our providers utilize specialized diagnostic techniques and targeted treatments designed to address the underlying nerve irritation.

Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerves)

Radiculopathy, either Cervical or Lumbar, occurs when spinal nerves become compressed or irritated as they exit the spine.

Symptoms may include:

Cervical Radiculopathy

  • Neck pain
  • Arm pain
  • Hand numbness
  • Shoulder weakness
  • Tingling in fingers

Lumbar Radiculopathy

  • Low back pain
  • Sciatica
  • Leg pain
  • Foot numbness
  • Weakness in the legs

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist.

Patients frequently experience:

  • Hand pain
  • Tingling
  • Numbness
  • Weak grip strength
  • Difficulty performing repetitive tasks

Early intervention can help prevent worsening symptoms and permanent nerve damage.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia causes severe facial pain and is often described as one of the most painful nerve conditions.

Patients frequently experience:

  • Sharp facial pain
  • Electric shock sensations
  • Jaw pain
  • Facial sensitivity
  • Pain triggered by speaking, eating, or touching the face

Proper diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Post-Surgical Nerve Pain

Some patients experience persistent nerve pain following surgery.

Common symptoms include:

  • Burning pain
  • Hypersensitivity
  • Tingling
  • Numbness
  • Scar-related discomfort

Our team evaluates the underlying causes of post-surgical pain and develops individualized treatment strategies aimed at restoring comfort and function.

Chronic Neck, Back, and Joint Pain

Not all nerve symptoms originate directly from nerve damage. Conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles, and connective tissues may contribute to:

  • Chronic neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Hip pain
  • Knee pain
  • Joint dysfunction

Comprehensive evaluation allows us to identify the true source of pain and develop effective treatment strategies.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is a chronic pain condition that often develops after injury or surgery.

Symptoms may include:

Cervical Radiculopathy

  • Severe pain
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Swelling
  • Color changes
  • Temperature changes
  • Reduced mobility

Early treatment often produces better outcomes and may help prevent progression.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Muscle and soft tissue disorders frequently coexist with nerve-related conditions. Myofascial pain syndrome involves painful trigger points within muscles that can cause:

  • Localized pain
  • Referred pain
  • Muscle tightness
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Chronic discomfort

Targeted treatment can significantly improve function and quality of life.

Advanced Diagnostic Evaluation

Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. At Apex Advanced Spine & Pain, our evaluation process may include:

Comprehensive Medical History

Understanding:

  • Symptom patterns
  • Previous injuries
  • Surgical history
  • Medical conditions
  • Lifestyle factors

Diagnostic Imaging Review

When appropriate, we review:

  • MRI studies
  • CT scans
  • X-rays
  • Ultrasound findings

Physical Examination

We evaluate:

  • Strength
  • Reflexes
  • Sensation
  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Range of motion

Functional Assessment

Understanding how symptoms impact:

  • Walking
  • Work
  • Sleep
  • Exercise
  • Daily activities

This comprehensive approach helps us create precise and individualized treatment plans.

Epidural Steroid Injections

Used to reduce inflammation around irritated spinal nerves.

Selective Nerve Root Blocks

Target specific nerves responsible for symptoms.

Peripheral Nerve Blocks

Can provide both diagnostic information and therapeutic relief.

Radiofrequency Ablation/b>

Interrupts pain signals from targeted nerves.

Joint Injections

Help reduce inflammation and improve mobility.

Trigger Point Injections

Address painful muscle knots and soft tissue dysfunction.

Advanced Image-Guided Procedures

Enhance precision and safety while targeting the source of pain.

When to Seek Care

You should consider evaluation if:

✓   Pain persists for more than a few days or weeks
✓   Pain is getting worse
✓   You have limited range of motion
