Pinched Nerves: Symptoms and Treatments
9. Surgery
If other treatments don't correct a pinched nerve, doctors may suggest surgery. This approach can remove bone spurs and stabilize the spine by fusing two vertebrae into a single bone, easing back and neck pain.
Artificial disk replacement, which involves inserting a synthetic disk between vertebrae, is another option. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often treated with surgery to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
