Sudden Shooting Nerve Pain

I originally came to West Coast Spine Center in Sarasota, Florida because I began experiencing sudden, shooting nerve pains that started in my feet and quickly spread throughout my body. This came out of nowhere and was more than a bit concerning. To make matters worse, I was traveling abroad when it happened, which only added to my stress. Being a very active and generally healthy person, I knew something was seriously wrong. As soon as I returned home, I contacted Dr. Craig Barcomb, a highly respected Sarasota chiropractic chiropractor, hoping to find the true source of my pain and mobility issues.

Dr. Barcomb is a certified Gonstead chiropractor, which means he practices one of the most thorough and precise methods in chiropractic care. This gave me much more confidence that we would be able to identify and address the root cause of my symptoms rather than just treating them temporarily.

After a complete examination and a detailed discussion of my symptoms, Dr. Barcomb took full-spine X-rays and performed a thermographic Nervoscope scan to detect areas of heat, inflammation, and nerve pressure along my spine. Reviewing these images together on a large screen allowed me to fully understand what was going on in my body and gave me a clear picture of how he planned to treat my condition.

Dr. Barcomb pinpointed my lower back and neck as the primary sources of the nerve pain and discomfort I was experiencing. He developed a personalized treatment plan focused on these problem areas, using precise Gonstead chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment and nerve function.

Through just five visits so far, I’ve already experienced noticeable improvements in my symptoms, and follow-up thermal scans confirm reduced inflammation and nerve irritation. My current treatment schedule is three visits per week, which will taper down as my recovery continues.

I’m feeling better every day—my mobility is improving, my nerve pain has decreased, and I finally feel like I’m on the path to full recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Craig Barcomb and West Coast Spine Center to anyone in Sarasota or the surrounding areas who is dealing with back pain, neck pain, nerve symptoms, or any type of mobility issue.
