Frequently Asked Questions

The most common orthopedic causes are nerve root compression from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sciatica.

Progressive or bilateral numbness, loss of bladder or bowel function, or weakness accompanying numbness require urgent evaluation.

Treatment targets the underlying cause. Epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, PRP therapy, and physical rehabilitation are effective for most nerve-related numbness.
