Post-surgical Neuropathic Pain in Monroeville
Unfortunately, surgeries do not always go as planned. Sometimes the way the body responds to surgery can lead to entirely different issues. Occasionally, it can lead to persistent pain after surgery, and this is neuropathic pain (NP). The nerves are injured during surgery, and pain persists after the surgical wound has healed. It is a result of the inflammation of the nerves and causes the patient to experience numbness, weakness, and sharp, often unbearable, pain in the area where the surgery occurred.
What Can Cause Post-surgical Neuropathic Pain?
Many factors can lead to the development of post-surgical nerve pain. A common misconception is that chronic post-surgical pain is always a result of mistakes made during surgery. Of course, errors do occur on occasion. There are always risks when having a surgical procedure done. Patients with vitamin deficiency or a history of nerve damage may have a higher chance of post-surgical neuropathic pain. In some cases of nerve damage, the symptoms fade over time, while in more severe cases, nerve damage may become chronic if not promptly treated.

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
