Specialist evaluation and treatment options for peripheral nerve injuries, compression and conditions affecting nerve function.
Peripheral nerves carry signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. Injury, compression, inflammation or certain growths can affect these nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling or muscle weakness. Peripheral nerve surgery may be considered when symptoms or nerve damage require surgical evaluation.
A specialist may assess whether surgery is appropriate when a patient has:
Peripheral nerve surgery may be used in the evaluation or management of conditions such as:
Depending on the diagnosis, surgical procedures may include nerve decompression, neurolysis (freeing a nerve from surrounding scar tissue), nerve exploration, neuroma revision or nerve grafting. The specific procedure is determined by the treating team.
Evaluation may include a detailed medical history and neurological examination. Nerve conduction studies, high-resolution ultrasound or MRI may be recommended to help identify the location and nature of the nerve problem. Treatment may involve non-surgical care, surgery, or a combination of approaches, based on individual findings.
Peripheral nerve conditions may require coordinated care from specialists such as neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons and neurologists, along with rehabilitation, physiotherapy and pain-management teams when appropriate.

If you are experiencing persistent numbness, tingling, pain or weakness, consult a specialist to understand the cause and explore appropriate treatment options. Book an appointment with Citi Neuro Centre.
Symptoms may include pain, tingling, numbness, reduced sensation or muscle weakness. Symptoms vary depending on the nerve involved.
No. Some nerve conditions can be managed without surgery. A specialist evaluates the cause, severity and progress of symptoms before recommending treatment.
Depending on the condition, assessment may include a neurological examination, nerve conduction studies, ultrasound or MRI.
Recovery varies according to the type and severity of nerve damage, the procedure performed and the patient’s overall health. Your treating team can discuss expected recovery and rehabilitation.
Recovery depends on factors such as the type of injury, how long the nerve has been affected and the treatment performed. Outcomes vary, and improvement cannot be guaranteed.
