nerve compression
Pinched neural tissue
Nerve compression is pressure on a nerve from surrounding tissue—bone, cartilage, muscle, or swelling.
The compression disrupts normal nerve function, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area.
Common examples include carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, and sciatica, where spinal nerves are pinched: The doctor diagnosed nerve compression in her lower back.
