Nerve Disorders

Nerve Disorders Can Affect Most Major Areas of the Body

The nerves throughout your body relay information about touch, muscle health, and bone status to your spinal cord and brain via sensory nerves. Motor nerves allow your brain and spinal cord to control muscle movement. These nerves can be injured or impaired in many ways, often due to mechanical causes like pinched or entrapped nerves. When identified, these issues can frequently be resolved by relieving the nerve compression.

The most common nerve entrapments are carpal tunnel syndrome (affecting the median nerve at the wrist) and cubital tunnel syndrome (affecting the ulnar nerve at the elbow). While many doctors treat these, other entrapments affecting the neck, shoulder, arm, hand, lower back, buttock, leg, and foot can be harder to diagnose and treat.

At Neurological Injury Specialists, we recognize the complexity of these disorders. Dr. Aaron Filler and our team use advanced techniques, including MR Neurography studies from The Neurography Institute and Open MRI guidance, to accurately diagnose and provide targeted treatments for even the most challenging nerve disorders and entrapments.
