Dr. Michael Rose – What Is Neuropathy?

What Are My Treatment Options?

Some symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy disappear or become milder several months to a year after the chemotherapy treatment is complete. However, nerve damage can sometimes be permanent. In those instances, individuals may need surgery to reverse the nerve damage and return comfortably to everyday activities. Surgical breakthroughs at The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction can offer solutions, such as nerve decompression.

Nerve decompression is a fundamental surgical procedure that relieves pressure on the affected nerve, resulting in significant symptom improvement in the majority of well-selected cases.

Nerve Healing is Time-Sensitive

If chemotherapy has damaged your nerves, early evaluation is critical; waiting more than 18 months can reduce the odds of full sensory recovery. 

Don’t wait to learn whether your nerves can still regenerate.

What Causes Chemotherapy‑Induced Neuropathy?

Certain cancer treatments can injure peripheral nerves. Damaged nerves misfire, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. In some patients, the injury also makes nerves more prone to compression at natural “tunnels,” further worsening symptoms.

Your Path to Recovery

Consultation & Evaluation

01

Meet with one of our surgeons  for a focused evaluation of your symptoms, treatment history, and nerve function. We’ll determine if nerve surgery can reduce pain, restore sensation, or improve function based on your unique neuropathy pattern.

Personalized Surgical Plan

Board‑certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon, internationally published on nerve decompression for chemotherapy‑induced neuropathy. Dr. Rose combines two decades of microsurgical experience with peer‑reviewed research to deliver consistently high rates of sensory recovery for cancer survivors.

 

David Tsai, MD

Peripheral‑nerve expert integrating neuromodulation adjuncts. Dr. Tsai spearheads combined decompression‑plus‑stimulator pathways for patients with persistent neuropathic pain, pushing outcomes beyond national benchmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does surgery really work?

Many patients experience significant pain reduction and sensory return.

Is it too late if my symptoms have lasted years?
Not necessarily. Candidacy depends on nerve health and timeframe; evaluation is the only way to know.
Will surgery eliminate all pain?

The goal is to relieve compression and restore normal signaling. Most patients report major relief; residual discomfort often improves with rehab.

How soon should I seek evaluation?
Earlier is better—ideally within 6–18 months of symptom onset.
What makes The Institute different from my local provider?
Few centers worldwide specialize in surgical solutions for chemotherapy‑induced neuropathy.
How long is recovery?

Initial healing is 2–4 weeks; nerve regeneration continues for months. Personalized therapy accelerates progress.
