Chronic Radiculopathy Overview Nerves are persnickety creatures. They can generally tolerate some compression but don’t really like to be pushed around. Unfortunately, there are many conditions of the spine that cause nerve compression in [...]
An Overview of Arachnoiditis Three membranes, the dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater surround the spinal cord and nerves. The dura mater, which is the outer most membrane, contains the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) [...]

An Overview of Peroneal Nerve Entrapment Peroneal nerve entrapment involves trapping of a peripheral nerve in a tunnel. These peripheral nerves are different from the nerves in the spinal canal (the radicular nerves) due [...]
This syndrome involves trapping of a peripheral nerve in a tunnel. These peripheral nerves are different from the nerves in the spinal canal (the radicular nerves) due to their "protective armor", the epineurium and [...]
