Pain Management: Nerve Injuries
What are the Most Common Nerve Injuries? Your central nervous system in your brain and spinal cord branches out and reaches every square inch of your body through your peripheral nerves, where most nerve injuries occur. Any time you cut or burn yourself, you damage the tiny nerves in the affected area. Mostly, these neural pathways recover and grow back very quickly. With larger injuries, however, the damage can be far more significant, causing chronic and serious problems with function and pain.
