--is a physical structural specialist, specially trained to deal with problems of biomechanics and the interaction of body tissues--bone, muscle, fascia, ligaments, tendons. As a result, many are used to dealing with pain issues and have a more integrative and wholistic view of what might be causing symptoms.

The type of symptoms you may have may be caused by small-fiber neuropathy, which would not show up on standard nerve conduction studies or EMG, as these small, unmeylinated nerves that subsume the sensations of pain and temperature are simply to thin to be measured that way. Documentation of that may take much more specialized testing up to and including skin biopsy.
