Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain state, most often accompanied by a tissue injury. According to various studies, neuropathic low back pain affects an estimated 5.6 million people in the US. The condition is typically characterized by a burning and shooting pain, along with a feeling of tingling and numbness.
The term gets its origin from ‘neuro’ which means nerves in Greek, and ‘pathy’, which means abnormality. In general, pain specialists classify the physical causes of pain into two types, the nociceptive and the neuropathic pain.
The nociceptive pain is time limited and results from sprains, bone fractures, burns, bumps, bruises and inflammation. On the other hand, the neuropathic pain is chronic and occurs in reference with the abnormal functioning of the central nervous system.
