Phantom limb pain affects up to 80% of amputees, turning loss into ongoing suffering. But today, science and integrative care provide new hope.
What Is Phantom Limb Pain?
-
Pain that feels like it’s coming from a limb that’s no longer there
-
Can feel like burning, twisting, itching, or crushing
-
Often triggered by nerve damage and brain “rewiring” after amputation
Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short?
Opioids and standard painkillers often fail because phantom pain stems from complex nerve-brain signals, not tissue damage.
Pillars of Dr. Raj’s IV Care:
- Ketamine infusions Can reset abnormal nerve signaling and reduce pain perception.
- Mirror therapy Trains the brain to reinterpret signals, reducing phantom sensations.
- Spinal cord or peripheral nerve stimulation Directly modulates pain signals at the source.
- Mind-body therapies Hypnosis, meditation, and CBT help reframe the pain experience.
