Nerve pain related to childbirth, C-section, pelvic surgery, and breast surgery is often overlooked. A peripheral nerve specialist can identify and treat these specific nerve injuries.
Overlooked
Nerve sources
Evaluation
Surgery and childbirth can injure or entrap small nerves of the abdominal wall, pelvis, and chest. The resulting pain or numbness is frequently dismissed as “normal,” yet it has a specific, treatable nerve cause.
From abdominal-wall numbness after a C-section to pain after mastectomy, a dedicated nerve evaluation can locate the responsible nerve and offer real options for relief.

Peripheral nerve surgery is its own discipline. Dr. Michaeli has dedicated his practice to the nerves, with fellowship-level training and thousands of nerve procedures.
Nerve work is measured in millimeters. Every repair is performed under high-magnification with microsurgical instruments and the latest reconstructive techniques.
Many patients arrive having been told nothing more can be done. A dedicated nerve evaluation often reveals options that general specialists do not offer.
Careful mapping identifies which specific nerve is involved — often a missed diagnosis elsewhere.
Decompression, neuroma surgery, or nerve release is matched to the source.
These are sensitive concerns; they are evaluated with expertise and discretion.

“After years of being told my pain was something I’d have to live with, Dr. Michaeli found the nerve causing it and fixed it.”
Neuroma surgery
“I had given up hope of using my hand again. The nerve transfer gave me back movement the other doctors said was gone.”
Nerve transfer
“The carpal tunnel release was quick and the night pain was gone immediately. I only wish I’d done it sooner.”
Carpal tunnel release

No. Many nerve conditions are first managed without surgery. Dr. Michaeli will recommend the least invasive effective option for your specific situation and only proceed to surgery when it offers the best outcome.
Nerve tissue is time-sensitive. The earlier a compressed or injured nerve is evaluated, the more options exist to protect and restore function. If you have progressive weakness or numbness, seek evaluation promptly.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Michaeli to understand your options and build a plan that fits your life.
