What We Treat

Nerve pain treatment in Vancouver.

The burning, the pins and needles, the fingers that go numb at night. It can settle down, and it starts with a cause-first evaluation, not a guess.

Why It Happens

Nerve pain starts somewhere. We find where.

Burning, tingling, and numbness mean a nerve is irritated or compressed somewhere along its path. That spot is often not where you feel it. A nerve pinched at the wrist, elbow, or neck can light up the whole hand. Chase the symptom alone, and the real source keeps firing.

That’s why guessing rarely works. A cause-first evaluation, one-on-one with a Certified Hand Therapist, traces the symptoms back to the spot that’s actually compressed. From there we start non-invasive: nerve gliding, desensitization, and splinting. Wait too long, and an irritated nerve can lose ground that’s slow to come back.

The Honest Truth

An irritated nerve doesn’t calm itself.

If you keep waiting

  • The numbness spreads, and light touch stops registering
  • A compressed nerve left too long can weaken the muscles it feeds
  • Night symptoms wreck your sleep, and everything else gets harder

If you start this week

  • You learn where the nerve is actually pinched by visit one
  • Nerve gliding and splinting to take the pressure off, no surgery first
  • You get a plan with an endpoint: a real one, not an open tab of visits

Nobody regrets starting too early. Every week, someone in our clinic says they regret waiting.

How We Fix It

The same four phases. Built for your nerve.

Every plan has an endpoint. Here’s what the four phases look like for nerve pain.

Weeks 1–2

Pain

Calm the nerve down.

Splinting and desensitization take pressure off the irritated nerve and settle the burning, starting your very first visit.

Weeks 2–6

Prime

Get the nerve moving freely.

Nerve gliding restores the smooth movement a compressed nerve lost, without provoking it.

Weeks 6–10

Perform

Rebuild strength and feel.

As symptoms settle, targeted work rebuilds the grip and control the numbness stole.

Weeks 10+

Prevent

Keep it from coming back.

The habits and positions that pinched the nerve get fixed so it stays quiet: that’s the endpoint, not just another appointment.

I highly recommend Andrew Peaker! I saw Andrew after injuring the tip of my finger. He gave me exercises that helped get feeling back into my finger that I could do even as a mom driving kids everywhere and always on the go. He tailored my exercises to fit what I needed and my lifestyle.

Questions, Answered

What people ask before booking for nerve pain.

Often, no, and surgery is rarely the right first step. Many compressed and irritated nerves settle with the right non-invasive care: nerve gliding, splinting, and desensitization, matched to where the nerve is actually pinched. A cause-first evaluation finds that spot first. If surgery ever turns out to be necessary, you will know, but most people never get there.

For many irritated nerves, yes, and the right movement matters more than the amount. Gentle nerve gliding and desensitization help a nerve move and settle so feeling and control return. What makes it work is tailoring the exercises to your nerve and your day, guided one-on-one with a Certified Hand Therapist, so you will actually do them.

It depends on how long the nerve has been irritated, and you get a plan with an endpoint from the start. Care moves through all four phases, Pain, Prime, Perform, and Prevent, over a series of visits. You will always know which phase you are in and what is left, not an open-ended string of appointments.
