Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve refers to compression of either a nerve in the neck or the lower back that causes radiating arm pain weakness, numbness or pins and needles.
If a nerve is pinched it can be pinched by disc material or it can be stenosed by the bony elements of the spine.
Surgery for this can involve either removing the compression on the nerve through soft tissue removal or it may occasionally require larger surgery to remove the bony compression on the nerve.
I thoroughly evaluate the condition that is affecting your spine and provide you with a comprehensive array of treatment options to provide you with the best chance of achieving a resolution of those symptoms.
