Tim Tollestrup MD Dr. Tollestrup is a pioneer, developing surgeries to help people with chronic pain all over the world

Dr. Tollestrup is a pioneer; he is practicing a new form of surgery and a radically new treatment option for people suffering from chronic pain. Dr. Tollestrup is one of only four surgeons in the country who does peripheral nerve surgery. His surgeries provide long-term relief and solutions to a myriad of chronic pain problems previously considered to be untreatable. His surgeries and practice req

uire a comprehensive understanding of the peripheral nerve system. Most doctors and medical professionals do not understand or have any training about the peripheral nerve system
Understanding the peripheral nerve system is the Rosetta Stone for understanding chronic pain.

EMG and nerve conduction studies often miss peripheral nerve issues, especially in the lower body. This is often due to a lack of understanding of peripheral nerve anatomy by technicians or even neurologists. This ignorance leads to flawed testing and makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact problem. If you're struggling with complex nerve pain, surgery might be the clearer path forward.

Meralgia Paresthetica — Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis
and Surgical Treatment with Dr. Tim Tollestrup.

Meralgia Paresthetica is a condition caused by
entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
It produces burning, tingling, or numbness on the
outer thigh — and it is one of the most commonly
misdiagnosed nerve conditions in medicine.

In this video, Dr. Tollestrup explains what causes
it, what the symptoms feel like, how the diagnosis
is confirmed, and when surgery is the right answer.

Surgical treatment for Meralgia Paresthetica has a
100% success rate in appropriately selected patients.

Dr. Tollestrup is one of only four peripheral nerve
surgeons in the United States performing pain-focused
nerve surgery at this level. Patients travel from
across the country and around the world to his
practice in Henderson, Nevada — not because it is
convenient, but because this level of surgical care
is available from very few physicians anywhere in
the world.

If you or someone you know has been suffering from
burning or numbness on the outer thigh that has not
responded to other treatments — please share this
video. There may be an answer they have not been
offered yet.
