Specializing in Nerve Repair & Decompression

Chronic nerve pain can occur for a number of reasons, but some of the most common causes diagnosed by our team of specialists are nerve damage and nerve compression. When a nerve is damaged or “pinched” by swollen or scarred tissue, the result can be a serious amount of pain in a number of areas.

At Barrington Orthopedic Specialists, we offer a number of minimally-invasive solutions to help patients achieve relief from chronic neuropathic pain, including:

• Treatment of Primary or Failed Tarsal Tunnel Surgery: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compression of the tibial nerve that causes pain and numbness in the feet and toes. The team at BOS can perform an initial surgery to decompress the tibial nerve or correct a previous surgery that has not offered relief.
• Microsurgical Nerve Transfers: During a nerve transfer, your surgeon will take a portion of a healthy nerve and suture it to replace a damaged nerve, offering relief from pain. These can be used to correct a number of conditions, including drop foot.
• CRPS Surgical Treatment Options: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is an extremely painful chronic condition that can affect the upper or lower extremities. Peripheral nerve surgery may be able to help alleviate these severe symptoms.
• RSD Surgical Treatment Options: Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD) causes severe and chronic pain in the upper and lower extremities, usually presenting itself after another injury or a stroke. BOS is proud to offer minimally-invasive surgical options for patients to find relief.
• Peripheral Nerve Stimulators for Chronic Pain: Peripheral nerve stimulators are an exciting piece of technology that can help patients find relief from chronic nerve pain by targeting the nerves that send pain signals to their brains.
