Chronic Chest Wall, Post-Mastectomy & Core Pain Relief — Restore Strength, Stability, and Comfort
Find lasting relief from chest and core pain — including chest wall instability, post-mastectomy pain, core muscle injuries, and chronic or recurrent hernias — with the nation's leading experts in advanced nerve, reconstructive, and stabilization procedures.
Is Chest Pain Limiting Your Life?
For some patients, pain across the chest doesn’t go away after recovery. Whether caused by sternal non-union, nerve injury, or tension around surgical hardware, this pain can make simple movements—reaching, coughing, or sleeping—difficult and exhausting.
At The Institute, our surgeons focus on identifying the true cause of post-surgical chest pain and correcting it through stabilization and reconstructive approaches that restore structure and reduce nerve irritation.
You don’t have to live this way. Here’s who we help:
Patients with chronic pain or instability after open-heart surgery or sternotomy.
Individuals with pain from sternal non-union or hardware irritation.
Patients with chest wall deformity or tension following trauma or prior surgery.
Those with pain caused by scar tissue, tightness, or nerve entrapment.
People told their pain is “normal after surgery” but still seeking answers.
