Clinical assessment of movement, muscle power and sensation often gives a good indication of the type of nerve injury, entrapment or tumour.
Neurophysiological investigation reveals deficits in nerve muscle and sensory functions and can indicate severity and location of a lesion, and if recovery is occurring.
MRI scanning is used to get further information about the nerve lesion or nature of tumours
The London Nerve Centre offers advice and treatment for conditions that affect the nerves. If you would like to find out more about the treatments we provide for orthopaedic conditions please visit our other musculoskeletal sites:
