Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers patients and families most often ask about recovery after amputation, prosthetic fitting and walking rehabilitation.
What does amputation care involve?
Amputation care helps the residual limb heal, manages pain and complications, and prepares you for mobility and prosthetic use. Dr. Sana Arshad provides a complete, non-surgical approach — from wound and skin care to pain management, prosthetic preparation and long-term rehabilitation.
What is prosthetic rehabilitation?
Prosthetic rehabilitation helps you use an artificial limb safely and comfortably, improve walking and balance, and regain maximum possible independence. It combines strengthening, balance work and walking training, guided by careful assessment of fit and function.
When should I start rehabilitation after an amputation?
Rehabilitation planning can begin during recovery, with the surgical and rehabilitation teams deciding which activities are safe. Timing depends on wound healing, medical stability and your individual needs. Prosthetic readiness is assessed separately.
Is phantom limb pain treatable?
Phantom limb pain can be assessed and treated using an individual plan, which may include medicines and rehabilitation techniques. Response varies, and persistent or worsening pain should be reviewed by your care team.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No referral is needed. You can book a consultation with Dr. Sana Arshad directly for an amputation-care assessment, prosthetic planning or rehabilitation guidance.
Can I get back to work and normal life after an amputation?
Rehabilitation aims to help you return to daily activities and, where possible, work and community life. Goals depend on your health, amputation level, mobility and environment. A prosthesis is not suitable for everyone; other mobility aids may be recommended.
