Phantom limb pain.
A pain in a limb that is no longer there.
Phantom limb pain — pain experienced in a body part that has been amputated — is a real and treatable neuropathic syndrome. The toolkit includes pharmacology, mirror therapy, sympathetic blocks, and neuromodulation.
If this is you, we can help.
Burning, cramping, shooting, or aching pain perceived in a body part that has been amputated. Sometimes triggered or modulated by stump positioning or sensation.
Your first visit.
Careful history. Examination of the residual limb. Discussion of the multiple available treatment options. Coordination with prosthetics as appropriate.
A layered, evidence-supported approach.
Pharmacotherapy for the neuropathic component. Mirror therapy and graded motor imagery as foundational rehab. Sympathetic blocks (lumbar sympathetic for lower extremity, stellate for upper) — both diagnostic and often therapeutic. For refractory cases, peripheral nerve stimulation and spinal cord stimulation.
