Compression Neuropathies Vid

For those of you who are not so squeamish and like seeing parts of the body from the inside, today's Vimeo video (see link below), looks at the pathology of compression neuropathies. Compression neuropathy is basically nerve damage caused by trapped nerves due to injury, or diseases like arthritis, herniated discs etc. Once again, the results can feel like most neuropathies, with tingling,burning, movement impairment and pain but the difference is that if caught early enough, a compression neuropathy may be able to be reversed through surgical procedure.
