Commands that enable people to move their hands, arms and legs are carried from the brain to these regions by nerves. Of course, as these nerves travel through the body, they pass by the bones and muscles. Here, if they are subjected to crushing for various reasons, that is, if there is a nerve compression; the signals they carry are disrupted. Just like when a cable or hose is crushed, there is a disturbance in electrical conduction, the nerve compression in question causes sensory disturbances called numbness, tingling, numbness, pain, and finally weakness, which we call paralysis.
The most successful treatment of nerve compression that does not go away with physical therapy is simply to free the nerve from the pinched place, and this is a job that only neurosurgeons can do. Of course, after determining the exact place where the nerve is pinched by means of advanced technology such as electrical measurements made by experienced hands, namely EMG and MR Neurography.
