Explore the Many Variants of Nerve Disorders
Nerve disorders can affect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves throughout the body. These conditions may interfere with movement, sensation, coordination, and organ function, often causing chronic pain, weakness, numbness, or neurological complications.
Nerve-related conditions range from mild and temporary to severe and life-altering. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important for managing symptoms, slowing progression, and improving quality of life.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged. Symptoms commonly include:
- Numbness or tingling
- Burning pain
- Muscle weakness
- Sensitivity to touch
- Loss of coordination
Common causes include diabetes, traumatic injuries, infections, and autoimmune conditions.
Radiculopathy & Sciatica
Radiculopathy develops when a nerve root in the spine becomes compressed or irritated. Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve, typically originating in the lower spine and traveling into the leg.
- Sharp radiating pain
- Tingling or numbness
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty standing or walking
Carpal Tunnel & CRPS
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that often develops after an injury or surgery.
- Hand numbness and wrist pain
- Severe burning pain and swelling
- Skin color or temperature changes
- Grip weakness
Trigeminal & Autonomic Disorders
Trigeminal Neuralgia involves sudden, severe facial pain triggered by simple activities. Autonomic Nerve Disorders affect involuntary body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.
Common Causes
- Traumatic injuries
- Diabetes / Autoimmune
- Repetitive stress
- Spinal conditions
- Toxic exposure
Symptoms
- Chronic pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Balance problems
- Sensitivity to touch
Diagnosis & Eval
- Physical examinations
- MRI or CT imaging
- EMG & Nerve conduction
- Functional assessments
Treatment Options
- Medication management
- Physical therapy
- Nerve blocks
- Minimally invasive care

Comprehensive care for a wide range of neurological conditions
Piriformis Syndrome
Each year in the USA, 1.5 million people have lumbar MRI scans to find the cause of buttock and leg pain called “sciatica.” It could be Piriformis Syndrome.

Pudendal Nerve Entrapment
Pain or numbness involving the area between the legs, including the genitals and occasionally some of the inside of the thigh, often aggravated by sitting.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Among the most common types of nerve entrapment is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) causing pain and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm and hand.

Brachial Plexus Disorders
The most common causes of brachial plexus injuries are motor vehicle injuries — particularly motorcycle injuries — and severe blows to the shoulder.

Nerve Trauma, Entrapment & RSD
The spine can be affected by arthritis, degenerative wear affecting joints and disks, and other abnormalities that cause pain, numbness and weakness.

Nerve Tumors
Some forms of facial and head pain — Occipital headaches, Foramen Magnum Syndrome, Trigeminal Neuralgia — respond only to surgical procedures.
