Choosing Barefoot for Nerve Pain Physiotherapy Brisbane
A musculoskeletal physiotherapist can treat discomfort caused by nerve pain. At Barefoot Physio, we have specific and sensitive tests that will give us the information to guide our treatment. Our treatment is called Neural Tissue Management and involves treating the nerves at the neural interface – where the nerve interacts with other tissues, such as muscles and joints. Treatment may involve joint mobilizations to the neck or back joints, where the nerves come out of the spine. It can also include muscle treatment along the path of the irritated nerve. Nerve treatment is gentle and non-aggravating focused on reducing the sensitivity of the nerves, allowing them to be restored to their complete gliding movements within muscles and joints. By utilising sensitive objective tests, physios can see immediate results to determine how effective nerve treatment is.
Barefoot Physiotherapy
With our individualised and specific management approach, we can determine the most effective nerve treatment and then teach you ways to continue to keep your body happy and pain-free. These methods include muscle release exercises and motor control exercises to ensure that nerve pain in the future is prevented.
Our clients and their health are our number one priority, and we strive to provide the best nerve pain physiotherapy in Brisbane by offering a wide range of considered, holistic, tested strategies.

What Are the Specific Types of Nerve Pain?
Nerve pain can be hard to locate, making it a complex condition to understand. When a specific branch of a nerve is involved, the condition will often be named after that nerve. Here are some common examples:
- Piriformis syndrome – involves the sciatic nerve as it runs through the piriformis muscle. Often results in buttock and or leg pain
- Sciatica – pain from the sciatic nerve that may start near the lower back or buttock and travel down the back of the leg including the calf and foot.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome – involving the median nerve at the inner wrist, where tight muscles or swelling can make it difficult for the nerve to move freely. This is a common condition in computer workers and pregnant women.
- Radiculopathy – a nerve entrapment at the nerve root when it exits from the spinal cord through the spinal joints. This can occur in the neck or lower back and may involve sensation changes, weakness or pain can present anywhere along the path of the nerve
While these conditions may cause nerve pain, not all nerve pain is a result of a specific condition.
What Are the Symptoms of Nerve Pain?
Symptoms of nerve pain, nerve inflammation and nerve irritation can include:
- Burning
- Tingling or pins and needles sensation
- Weakness
- Heaviness
- Change in skin sensation
- Feeling of tight muscles and stretching does NOT help
- Achiness in a muscle or joint
- Headaches
- Sharp or shooting pain
- Numbness
- Restricted or unco-ordinated movement
- Radiating arm or leg pain
- Buttock or shoulder blade pain
A scan or imaging is not always required for nerve pain. Our physiotherapists will ask you specific questions and perform nerve tests regarding your pain to determine if a scan is required.

Follow up appointments range, depending on the physio, from $140 to $180 for a half-hour session.
