Somatosensory rehabilitation is a method that addresses sensitivity disorders of the skin, often caused by nerve damage. These issues manifest as burning sensations, numbness, or pain upon touch, and may be related to trauma, surgical procedures, or medical conditions (diabetes, shingles).
Spontaneous nerve pain or pain triggered by a simple touch results from a disruption of the nerve fibers responsible for touch. About 7% of the population suffers from these issues and requires specific management.
At Kinatex Sports Physio, our approach is based on neuroplasticity, the ability of the nervous system to reorganize itself. By working on these mechanisms, we help normalize skin sensitivity to reduce neuropathic pain and improve daily function.
This method effectively treats symptoms such as hypoesthesia (decreased sensitivity), mechanical allodynia (pain on touch), and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). By reversing the mechanisms of nerve sensitization, somatosensory rehabilitation helps restore a sense of normality and comfort.
If you suffer from nerve pain related to accidents, surgical procedures, or medical conditions, somatosensory rehabilitation can provide lasting relief and improve your quality of life.
