Treatment for Nerve Entrapment

Treatment for Nerve Entrapment

Background

Nerve decompression is the process of releasing the abnormal pressure or pinching of nerves that causes pain, burning and other symptoms in the foot, heel or ankle.

At The MicroSurgery Institutes of Dallas and Houston, we specialize in one of the most advanced procedures to treat painful nerve entrapment of the foot and leg. Highly trained specialists can accurately diagnose and if needed, perform this groundbreaking procedure which releases the pressure, or “decompresses” the entrapped nerve for long-term relief of your painful symptoms. Performed on thousands of patients worldwide with excellent results, this cutting-edge procedure represents a major improvement in the treatment of chronic foot and ankle pain when other traditional treatments have failed.
