Understanding Nerve Injuries
Nerve injuries can happen when nerves are compressed, stretched, or damaged due to accidents, repetitive movements, or conditions like diabetes or herniated discs. Symptoms can include tingling, numbness, weakness, or sharp pain that interferes with daily life. Because nerves control both movement and sensation, untreated injuries can lead to long-term problems and limit your ability to do simple tasks comfortably.
