I'm sorry to hear you are having that problem. :-( From what I understand this is mostly being done in the VA medical system right now, but I bet some of those VA doctors are in private practice as well. Try calling your local VA hospital, to find out more about the therapy and what local doctors may be doing it. Alternatively, there's no reason why any orthopedic specialist couldn't learn how to do it, as it seems relatively uncomplicated and they could probably learn how to do it by simply reading medical journals, so try calling around to local doctors and see if any are willing to help. Best of luck to you! Hi, Jeffrey! I’m sorry to hear you are having that problem. :-(

Does anyone know where I can find a doctor to treat me with the mirror image therapy. I need help. Jeffrey Martin I lost my arm in a car accident 27 years ago, and have had increasing PLP.

I have a door-size mirror in the garage, haven't put it up yet. I think I'll try it, to see if it makes my brain feel strange as well. That’s pretty interesting, Kent.

I actually used to amuse myself this way, even without being an amputee. It still gave my brain a strange sensation. I heard about this treatment many years ago.
