Nerve Impingement

Nerve impingement, commonly referred to as a pinched nerve, occurs when surrounding tissues such as bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons exert excessive pressure on a nerve. This pressure disrupts nerve function, causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Nerve impingement can occur in various areas of the body, including the neck, back, arms, and legs. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, repetitive strain, and injuries.

Comprehensive Care for Nerve Impingement

At Emirates Hospitals, we specialize in diagnosing and treating nerve impingement to alleviate discomfort and restore functionality. Our multidisciplinary team of neurologists, orthopedic specialists, and physiotherapists employs advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI, CT scans, and nerve conduction studies to identify the affected nerve and determine the underlying cause.

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s condition, severity, and lifestyle needs. Non-surgical options include physical therapy, pain management, anti-inflammatory medications, and lifestyle modifications to reduce strain on the affected area. For severe cases that do not respond to conservative treatments, minimally invasive surgical procedures may be recommended to relieve nerve compression.

Our patient-centric approach emphasizes long-term recovery and prevention. We educate patients on ergonomics, posture improvement, and exercises to reduce the risk of recurrence.
