Know Your Pain: Muscle vs. Nerve
Not all pain feels the same, and that matters.
Muscle strains often cause a dull, sore, or tight feeling that stays in one spot and worsens with movement or touch. In contrast, nerve pain feels sharp, burning, or tingling, often traveling down a limb, and may include numbness or weakness.
The difference isnβt just about how it feels, it changes how we treat it.
At A List Therapy Group, we assess how your body moves, loads, and responds to stress to figure out whether the pain is muscular, neural, or something else entirely.
π Nerve pain often doesnβt start where it hurts
π Muscle pain often improves with movement
π Both benefit from early, targeted care
