Electrodiagnostics involves the study of nerves and muscles to determine the source of a patient’s pain, numbness or weakness. If an individual suffers from a pinched nerve, imaging may be used to help identify what is causing it, says John Vetter, MD, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. If the pinched nerve is spine related, Dr. Vetter pursues a conservative initial course of treatment, including medicine, physical therapy and injections, in hopes of avoiding the need for surgery.
