When to see a specialist
Arrange an evaluation when nerve symptoms persist, follow a clear arm or leg pathway, or begin to affect strength, dexterity, balance, or walking.
- Shooting, burning, or electric pain into an arm or leg
- Numbness or tingling in a consistent hand, finger, foot, or toe pattern
- Weak grip, difficulty lifting the arm, foot slapping, or trouble pushing off
- Symptoms worsened by particular neck or back positions
- Recurring nerve symptoms that interrupt sleep, work, or driving
- Imaging that shows possible nerve compression and needs correlation

Nerves thread through tight openings around vertebrae like this one — the spots where compression usually happens.

What happens at your first appointment
The first visit localizes the nerve pattern, tests how well the nerve is functioning, and identifies which structural findings are likely relevant.
02 Focused nerve testing
The doctor checks strength, sensation, reflexes, gait, and provocative maneuvers to narrow the affected nerve and region.
03 Imaging and test review
MRI, X-rays, CT, or prior electrodiagnostic results are compared with the clinical pattern. Additional tests are ordered only when they may change the plan.
04 Cause-specific pathway
Treatment is matched to the likely cause and may include monitoring, pain management, a targeted injection, decompression, or another specialist referral.

- Selective nerve-root or epidural injection
- Monitoring of stable strength and sensation
Surgical care
- Foraminotomy or focused nerve decompression
- Microdiscectomy when a disc fragment is the matching cause
- Broader decompression or stabilization when stenosis or instability is involved
