Causalgia treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

Causalgia is an intense, persistent pain, often described as burning, that appears after an injury to a peripheral nerve, generally in a limb. It is part of what are called regional pain syndromes and is usually accompanied by changes in sensation.

How it usually feels: constant burning, pain out of proportion to the stimulus, extreme sensitivity to touch and, at times, changes in the temperature, color, or sweating of the affected skin.

Frequent origin: it is related to previous nerve damage from trauma, surgery, or other causes.

Who assesses it? The orthopedist and the physical medicine and rehabilitation professionals, together with the physical therapist, take part in its study and functional management. If a burning pain persists after an injury, seeking specialized evaluation helps guide care.
