Contact UsAbout Phantom Limb Pain
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is the uncomfortable sensation that patients experience from a limb that is no longer a part of the body. In cases of severe injury, trauma, or illness, an extremity, such as an arm, leg, hand, or foot, may need to be surgically removed. In many instances, patients often feel pain or itchiness from the limb that has been amputated. This phenomenon is believed to be caused by misplaced sensory information by the brain.
Symptoms include the sensation of acute or chronic cramping or stabbing pain, burning, itching, or throbbing. These side effects can occur weeks or even months after a limb has been surgically removed. Nerves do not stop sending signals to the brain, even when an extremity has been amputated. If you are suffering from phantom limb pain, contact Pain Zero in Central Ohio to learn more about all of your treatment options.
Phantom Pain Treatment
Phantom limb pain is a chronic condition in which the brain sends pain signals from the nerves of the missing limb. Previously, phantom limb pain was considered a psychological issue, but medical research revealed that this condition may be caused by misinterpreted sensory signals of the brain and spinal cord.

Many patients have experienced significant improvement after treatment. There are several treatment options, therapies, and nerve applications available that can improve your symptoms, such as:

Dr Lesley is Amazing!! Shes kind, caring, & listens. I absolutely loved meeting her.
This place is amazing and the best Pain Clinic I’ve ever been to! The staff is incredible! And Lesley Newell is the best!!!! Having 17 spine surgeries I’ve had a lot of nerve damage and neurological junk going on with my legs and arms that I’ve dealt with for several years that nobody could seem to help with. After my visit with Leslie Newell, she solved that for me and I am just amazed that this lady knew exactly what to do to help me and now I haven’t dealt with that neurological issue now for a little over a month. She is amazing! And if any of the Pain Zero staff sees this, please relay this to Lesley! She is a godsend! 🙏🏼
