Peripheral Nerve Program
A patient-centered, evidence-based program that provides comprehensive care for peripheral nerve conditions and injuries from the subspecialists at Rothman.
Peripheral Nerves Issues
Peripheral nerves reside outside of your brain and spinal cord. Motor nerves convey information from your brain to the rest of your body. Sensory nerves convey information from your body, back to your brain and spinal cord. After failure of non-operative treatment for peripheral nerve damage, peripheral nerve surgery is needed for nerve compression or disruption that causes numbness, weakness, pain, and/or loss of function.
