Nerve Root Compression - Back Injury Lawyers
Our Oklahoma disc injury attorneys answer questions such as: What is nerve root compression? The spinal cord, the body’s central nerve network, is protected by vertebrae, and between the vertebrae, discs of cartilage and other tissue act as cushions between these bones as we move around in the course of a day. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves emerge from the spinal cord at different levels carrying motor and sensory information between the brain and the rest of the body. A bundle of nerves also extends beyond the spinal cord carrying nerve impulses to and from the legs. Nerve root compression occurs when one or more bulging or protruding or herniated discs compress or impinge on these nerve roots, irritating and eroding the nerve root, causing pain, numbness and tingling in the extremities.
Causes of Nerve and Back Injury
Nerve root compression is usually caused by herniated discs in the form of a bulge, protrusion or tear caused by a traumatic event, such as motor vehicle accidents and falls. Nerve root compression injuries can result in temporary pain and inability to function or in permanent loss of function below the compressed nerve. Always serious, nerve root compression injuries may require lengthy periods of inactivity, physical therapy, surgery, medication and rehabilitation. During that time, the victim of the injury may be in considerable pain, unable to lead their normal life, unable to work and perhaps unable to return to the type of work previously performed.
