Any Anti-inflammatory properties is something to look for with those with disc or spinal injuries.I'm gonna assume the anti-eptileptic properties of linalool would play into the nerve pain relief since it's all playing on the same system. I know when I looked up the nerve blockers I had to take for pain for a while they were most commonly used as anti-seizure meds. I know @Mossy is big on it so that also makes sense.
