Other Treatments

Chronic nerve pain can happen almost anywhere in the body.

Postherpetic neuralgia after shingles is a major focus of Dr. Aguila’s work. But nerve pain is not limited to shingles. Injured, compressed, or irritated peripheral nerves can also cause long-lasting pain in the head, arm, trunk, low back, pelvis, leg, ankle, or foot.

Possible treatment direction

How Dr. Aguila’s team thinks about chronic nerve pain.

The goal is not to force every patient into surgery. The goal is to understand whether a peripheral nerve may be contributing to persistent pain and whether a nerve-focused treatment path is appropriate.

Step 01

Locate the pattern

Pain location, sensation, triggers, injury history, and prior procedures help identify whether a specific nerve pathway may be involved.

Step 02

Look beyond labels

Many patients arrive with broad labels like chronic pain, failed surgery, or unexplained pain. A nerve-focused review looks for a more precise cause.

Step 03

Discuss options

Depending on the condition, options may include further evaluation, nerve decompression, nerve reconstruction, nerve disconnection, or referral when another path is more appropriate.

This page is educational and does not diagnose your condition. Persistent or severe pain should be reviewed by a qualified medical professional who can evaluate your history, exam findings, imaging, and prior treatment results.
