Neuropathic Cancer Pain in Monroeville
After experiencing months of long-lasting pain, including headaches and pain related to cancer, it can leave you with chronic pain even after you’re in remission or the cancer is gone.
What Can Cause Neuropathic Cancer Pain?
Neuropathic Cancer pain is pain that ranges in severity and has lasted for six months or more. It often includes conditions like:
- lower back pain
- osteoarthritis
- rheumatoid arthritis
- neuropathic pain
- fibromyalgia
- many other conditions
Patients with this condition have trouble sleeping. They are tired, depressed, and struggle to maintain their responsibilities such as work or looking after their family. According to the researchers at Cancer-Pain.org, upwards of 50% of cancer patients experience pain while undergoing treatment, and up to 90% of people with advanced cancer experience pain. In some cases, patients take medication, which can later cause pain, numbness, redness, or irritation. Luckily, Pittsburgh East Health Center is here to offer you an alternative to these medications.
How Can Our physicians Help With Neuropathic Cancer Pain?
Often, following chemotherapy, nerve pathways are damaged and produce more pain. Pain that occurs from your condition or the treatment can quickly become chronic if you don’t get the right treatment. Changes to the body’s nerves from the disease and chemotherapy are inherent in most cancer patients, which is why most will subsequently end up experiencing pain from nerve damage.
At Pittsburgh East Health Center, our peripheral neuropathic treatments are noninvasive and have helped our patients find pain relief. If your medications are no longer working or have caused unpleasant symptoms, we’re here to offer you an alternative. Give us a call today at (412) 775-2395.

What Our Patients Are Saying

I have been to many chiropractors over the years, but Dr Shultz has techniques I have never experienced. I have neuropathy from cancer treatment that causes numbness in my legs and feet. I have extreme weakness that causes falls, and makes climbing stairs difficult. Since I’ve started treatment I have started noticing the feeling coming back in my feet, and my ability to walk has become easier. I still have a long way to go, but I’m confident that this treatment is effective. The staff is also top notch, and makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I have been going to see Dr Schultz at Pittsburgh East Health Center for several months now, and I have received Excellent Care. Everyone Is Friendly and Pleasant . I Would Highly Recommend Pittsburgh East Health Center.
Pittsburgh E. Health Center has helped me through a very difficult time in my life with my back. When I thought nothing could be done they gave me hope. The treatments have been very successful I am very happy with my progress and with how everything has been handled. They are very professional but most of all very caring about the individual and my well-being. I highly recommend them to everyone. They actually make it pleasant to go for therapy
