A Step-by-Step Way to Ease Nerve Pain
Most people don't make an appointment at a spine hospital the day they start hurting. They arrive after weeks or maybe months of discomfort, maybe feeling the ache go down their leg, or a leg feeling heavy, or their fingers going numb, or their sleep being constantly interrupted as the ache refuses to let them rest.
The decompression maneuvers on the spine are not performed hastily. These are normally recommended when more simpler forms of relief have failed to work effectively. The aim of such decompression or intervention is not to have “big surgery.” The aim is to relieve a nerve that has been compressed for far too long and allow it to heal.
