Nerve Injuries

Nerve injuries occur when nerves, which carry signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, are damaged due to trauma, compression, or disease. This can result in loss of sensation, weakness, or paralysis in the affected area. The severity varies from mild, temporary numbness to complete nerve rupture. Recovery depends on the injury’s extent and location, with some nerves healing naturally over time and others requiring medical intervention like surgery or therapy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to minimize long-term effects and restore function.
