Peripheral Nerve Procedures

The human body has four distinct parts within the nervous system itself and the peripheral nerves are one of those parts.  The peripheral nerves main purpose is the transmitting of signals and information from the spinal cord to the rest of the body and vice versa.  An important fact to know about peripheral nerves is that unlike the brain or spinal cord, which when injured have limited capacities to heal; they have a very high capability for rejuvenation.  That is very good news for a patient.  When surgery is done to repair the peripheral nerve in a relatively short time frame, it can actually re-grow, thereby giving the patient a chance to benefit from total or almost total recovery in many cases.  Recuperation from such surgery can take months and require extensive physical therapy so a patient should not give up hope if it seems like it is taking a long time to heal.  

The Chapman Medical Center medical teams perform complex surgeries on a regular basis dealing with serious nerve damage, always with a view of finding out newer and less invasive procedures for their patients.

Since the function of the peripheral nervous system carries the sensory information to and from the spinal cord and brain, it deals with touch, feeling of pain or pressure, heat or cold and the relative position of your body wherever you currently are.  There are diseases that do affect the peripheral nervous system; carpal tunnel syndrome is a common one we routinely hear about.

The Southern Californian Center for Neuroscience and Spine (SCCNS) can provide you with a comprehensive neurological exam to find out what may be affecting you. At times a CT scan may be needed or even a spinal tap to discover any problems.   Some nerve conditions may only require medication while others need to be treated with neurosurgery.
