Phantom Limb, Real Pain (Webinar)

Pain: It’s definitely not in your head but sometimes it’s not in your limbs either…

Phantom Limb sensations are said to affect between 60-80% of amputees. Pain is complex and nothing highlights this more than the presence of pain in an area of the body that no longer exists. In our upcoming webinar, Prof. Cormac Ryan explains phantom limb pain in an easy-to-understand way including what it is and what we can do about it.
