Postoperative & Post-Traumatic Pain
Targeted Relief from Nerve Pain After Surgery or Injury
Overview
Persistent pain following surgery, injury, or trauma is more common than many realize — especially when nerve irritation or entrapment is involved. At Barcelona Cryo Center, we specialize in identifying and treating the nerve-based causes of lingering post-procedural or post-injury pain using ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis.
This minimally invasive technique uses controlled cold energy to safely deactivate the specific sensory nerves transmitting pain — offering lasting relief without damaging surrounding tissues or relying on medications.
Whether your symptoms started after an operation, fracture, soft tissue injury, or chronic inflammation, our goal is to restore your comfort and quality of life through precise nerve targeting.
Postoperative & Post-Traumatic Pain Conditions We Treat
Cryoneurolysis may offer relief for the following forms of chronic pain after surgery or trauma:
Post-thoracotomy Pain
Learn MorePersistent nerve-related pain after thoracic surgery, often involving intercostal nerve injury.
Pain After Rib Fractures
Learn MoreChronic or subacute pain due to intercostal nerve irritation or healing-related mechanical compression.
Neuromas After Surgery
Learn MoreAbnormal nerve regrowth causing sharp or burning pain at previous surgical sites (e.g., amputation, mastectomy, abdominal wall).
Phantom Pain / Stump Pain
Learn MorePain sensations from a missing limb or body part (phantom) or the residual limb itself (stump), often due to nerve dysfunction or neuroma formation.
Pain After Mastectomy (Breast Cancer Surgery)
Learn MorePersistent nerve pain, burning, or sensitivity in the chest wall or underarm area following breast surgery, often related to intercostal or intercostobrachial nerve irritation.
Why Cryoneurolysis?
Unlike medications that treat the whole body or invasive surgeries that involve cutting or cauterizing nerves, cryoneurolysis:
- Targets only the problematic sensory nerves
- Preserves motor function and surrounding tissues
- Offers months of relief with a single outpatient treatment
- Is performed using live ultrasound guidance for maximum precision
Most patients can return to daily activities the same day with minimal discomfort.
Reclaim Your Recovery
Surgery and trauma are supposed to lead to healing — but when pain lingers, it can limit your return to full activity and quality of life. Cryoneurolysis offers a focused, modern solution to restore relief and function.
Explore the individual conditions listed above or book a consultation to learn whether cryoneurolysis is right for you.
