Peripheral nerves relay messages between the brain and the body. When a peripheral nerve is damaged—whether by injury, disease, or another medical disorder—the symptoms range from a tingling feeling to shooting pain to paralysis. Some peripheral nerve conditions can be treated with medication and physical and occupational therapies; for others, surgery is necessary to relieve chronic pain and/or restore the nerve’s function.

The Peripheral Nerve Center at the Neurological Institute of New Jersey is a comprehensive center that treats all types of peripheral nerve disorders, using state-of-the art Magnetic Resonance Imaging neurography, the latest in electrodiagnostic studies, and the skill of an experienced surgical team and other specialists in conditions affecting the nerves.
