Navigating the Diagnosis is Half the Battle

Chronic Pain can be incredibly varied and complex often coming at the intersection of multiple pathologies in the body. As such Dr. Iqbal is an expert in proper diagnosis tracing the pathway from the site of pain to the brain and treating it at every accessible point therein. Below are some of the primary conditions he treats. A more comprehensive list follows afterwards.

Spinal Radiculopathy

Spinal Radiculopathy

Also known as a pinched nerve, this is a condition where a specific nerve in the spine becomes compressed or irritated. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that can radiate from the spine to other parts of the body, depending on which nerve is affected. Spinal radiculopathy can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a herniated disc or degenerative changes in the spine.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy

A condition that affects the nerves in the body, causing them to malfunction. It can occur in any part of the body but is most commonly seen in the extremities. It is caused by a variety of factors, such as diabetes, infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to toxins. Symptoms include tingling, numbness, burning, or shooting pain in the affected area with severe cases leading to weakness, loss of coordination, or difficulty with balance.

Neuralgia

Neuralgia

A condition that causes severe, shooting pain in a nerve or group of nerves. It is usually felt as a sudden, intense, and sharp pain that can be triggered by movement or touch. Neuralgia can be caused by a variety of factors, including inflammation, infection, or damage to the nerve. It can occur in any part of the body, but is most commonly seen in the face, neck, and back.

Arthritis Pain

Arthritis Pain

Pain that is caused by inflammation in the joints. It can vary in intensity and can be described as a dull ache, sharp stabbing, or burning sensation. It often causes stiffness, swelling, and a limited range of motion in the affected joint.

Post Surgical Pain

Post Surgical Pain

Pain that persists for more than three to six months after a surgical procedure. It is different from acute post-surgical pain as it is not routine and often occurs due to a variety of factors such as nerve damage, scar tissue formation, chronic muscle spasm and/or inflammation. The pain can be constant or intermittent and can vary in intensity. It can also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as stiffness, numbness, or tingling.
