Neurovascular Compromise

Neurovascular compromise occurs when nerves and blood vessels in a specific area are compressed or restricted, leading to reduced blood flow and nerve function. This can cause symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of sensation. It often results from injuries, swelling, or structural issues pressing on these tissues. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent lasting nerve damage or impaired circulation, which can affect mobility and overall health of the affected area.
