What is a Transaction?

Entrapment neuropathies are conditions that occur when nerves are under pressure as they pass through narrow or compressed spaces in the body. This prevents the nerves from functioning properly and often leads to problems such as pain, numbness or tingling. It is especially common in areas such as the wrist, elbow or ankle.

How is it done?

At our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, patients with symptoms of entrapment neuropathy undergo a detailed examination. Depending on the patient’s complaints, the condition of the nerves is evaluated with advanced imaging and tests such as ultrasound, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or EMG (Electromyography). These tests help to identify the area where the nerve is compressed and the severity of the condition. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options are planned to reduce the pressure on the nerve.

What are the Symptoms?

• Numbness and tingling sensation in a certain area
• Weakness and limitation of movement in the affected joint or limb
• Pain, especially in areas close to the impingement site
• Muscle weakness and loss of strength
• Difficulty in daily activities

What are the Treatment Methods?

• Surgical Interventions: Surgeries can be performed to release the pinched nerve or to widen the narrow space around it.
• Drug Treatment: Painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to relieve nerve pain.
• Physical Therapy: Special exercise programs are applied to restore nerve function and increase muscle strength.
• Preventive Methods: Splinting and ergonomic adjustments are recommended to reduce pressure on the nerve.

Entrapment neuropathies can be largely cured with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In our clinic, healthy functioning of the nerves is ensured and quality of life is improved with treatment methods planned specifically for each patient.
