Majority of the nerve problems can be clinically diagnosed and a few may require further advanced medical tests to support the diagnosis.
There are plenty of successful treatment options based on the cause.The treatment modalities include medicines, physiotherapy or surgery and sometimes a combination.
Initially, carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with physiotherapy like stretching exercises, but beyond a certain period, it will require a surgical treatment.
Cut nerve can be repaired by microsurgical techniques. Nerves lost in an injury can be reconstructed. A well-repaired nerve by good microsurgical techniques can give excellent results and restore a good function.
With newer treatment modalities, patients have a very good chance for recovery and return to normalcy.
