Abdominal Pain Treatment in Wichita, KS
If you are experiencing chronic pain in Wichita or surrounding areas including Andover, Derby, Mulvane, Wellington, Winfield, Newton, Maize, Goddard, McPherson, Augusta, El Dorado, Eastborough, Bel Aire, and the greater Sedgwick County region, it can significantly affect your quality of life, sleep, and daily function.
At Kansas Pain Consultants, we specialize in evaluating and treating chronic pain using advanced, minimally invasive techniques, particularly when the cause is nerve-related or has not responded to traditional treatments.
Common Causes of Abdominal Pain
Pain can arise from multiple sources, including internal organs, muscles, or nerves. Common causes we evaluate and treat include:
● Chronic wall pain
● Pain after hernia repair (post-herniorrhaphy pain)
● Post-surgical pain
● Nerve entrapment syndromes (including anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment)
● Chronic pancreatitis-related pain
● Functional pain
● Cancer-related pain
● Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (rare cases involving the abdominal wall)
Pain After Hernia Repair
Persistent pain after hernia surgery is more common than many patients realize and is often related to nerve irritation or entrapment.
This type of pain may involve nerves such as:
● Ilioinguinal nerve
● Iliohypogastric nerve
● Genitofemoral nerve
