Post Amputation Limb Pain
Post-amputation limb pain refers to pain felt in the area where a limb has been amputated. It is caused when the nerve endings at the site of the amputation continue to send pain signals to the brain. The pain can range from mild to extreme. Treatments are aimed at interrupting the pain signal to the brain and may include a variety of non-surgical methods including Biofeedback, relaxation techniques, massage, heat application, physical therapy, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) of the stump, neurostimulation techniques and medications. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove scar tissue that is entangling a nerve. The physicians at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians are committed to using the most minimally invasive methods possible to help you get relief from your pain so you can stay active and live a healthy and productive life.
