Peripheral Nerve Surgeon in Kolkata
Home > Treatments > Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Overview
Peripheral nerves connect your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. They control movement and sensation. Damage to these nerves can cause pain, numbness or weakness. Peripheral nerve surgery helps restore movement and sensation in cases of nerve damage. It treats injuries caused by trauma, compression or underlying conditions affecting nerve function. The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore lost function. If you are experiencing symptoms, seek medical guidance from Dr. Rohit Mishra, an experienced peripheral nerve doctor in Kolkata.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need surgery for my nerve pain?
Not always. Dr Rohit Mishra first attempts traditional treatments like physiotherapy and medication to relieve pain. Surgery becomes an option when these methods don’t provide relief.
When should I see a doctor for nerve pain?
Visit Dr. Mishra if you have persistent numbness, weakness, or intense pain that interferes with daily life. He will help you prevent long-term damage to the nerves.
Can diabetic nerve damage be treated?
Yes, specific surgical procedures can help reduce pain and prevent further nerve damage in diabetic patients.
What happens if I delay nerve treatment?
Delayed treatment may lead to permanent nerve damage. We recommend getting early diagnosis and treatment done to get better results.
Is peripheral nerve surgery in Kolkata painful?
Surgery is performed under anaesthesia to minimise post-operative pain. You may feel mild to low pain, manageable with medications and therapy.
