Treatment

We are committed to the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of peripheral nerve problems. Our goal is to maximize function, minimize suffering, and help patients realize their full potential despite their affliction with difficult, painful, and sometimes disabling peripheral nerve disorders.

A detailed history and neurological examination provides the most important first steps in diagnosing your peripheral nerve problem. These are completed during your first visit. You will likely require electrodiagnostic studies and perhaps imaging studies as well to provide additional, crucial diagnostic information.

We utilize a wide range of treatment modalities that have been rigorously scrutinized and proven effective to help our patients enjoy the best outcomes possible. Noninvasive treatments may be as simple as a recommendation to maintain active use of an affected extremity, or as complex as a detailed physiotherapy regimen involving modalities such as splinting, massage, ultrasound, or weight training. Invasive treatments range from the minimally-invasive decompression techniques to exquisitely complex and lengthy brachial plexus reconstruction and tumor excision procedures.
