Our nervous system is involved in everything our complex bodies do, from signaling and controlling our muscles to regulating breathing to sensing whether something is hot or cold. That’s why it’s such a problem when we suffer nerve damage. Whether due to sustained compression in an area such as the spine or through various tight…Read More >>
If you’ve been looking through this website, you’ve probably come across Dr. Seruya’s extensive involvement in the recent surge in acute flaccid myelitis, a devastating condition that creates sudden-onset weakness in one or more arms or legs in young children. But Dr. Seruya treats all sorts of nerve problems with his younger patients. That’s why…Read More >>
The body’s peripheral nerves are the links between our brain and the spinal cord and the rest of the body. Unfortunately, our peripheral nerves are fragile and can easily be damaged by trauma or continued compression. These injuries can then affect your brain’s ability to communicate with your muscles and organs. Dr. Seruya is a…Read More >>
Our peripheral nervous system is a network of 43 pairs of motor and sensory nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. These are the network of nerves that connect our sense organs, muscles, glands, and internal organs to the central nervous system. Injury or damage to these nerves…Read More >>
Our nerves are very sensitive, but this also makes them fragile and open to injury. Nerve damage can occur from prolonged compression, such as in carpal tunnel syndrome or in spinal stenosis; or from being over-stretched, cut, or as a side effect of diabetes, among other causes. When a nerve is damaged, it can have…Read More >>
It may seem obvious when you would have nerve pain. After all, our nerves are responsible for sensing injury and sending a message to the brain in the form of pain response, right? It’s not necessarily so cut and dried. In this month’s blog, we’ll go through the symptoms to watch for with nerve pain…Read More >>
You would think it would be easy to know if you have nerve pain and possible nerve damage — things would hurt, right? Well, it’s not always so simple. In this blog, let’s look at the types of nerves and the symptoms of pain and/or damage to those nerves. This isn’t something to trifle with….Read More >>
