Pinched Nerve Treatment in Los Angeles

Eliminate nerve pain at the source with expert, minimally invasive care from Los Angeles’s best spine specialist.

What is a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, or disc material, compress a nerve root, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. This compression often stems from herniated discs, bone spurs, spinal stenosis, or repetitive stress injuries and can affect the neck (cervical spine), lower back (lumbar spine), or other areas along the spinal column.

When a nerve is compressed, it can interfere with normal function, creating radiating pain that affects mobility and quality of life. At his advanced spine center in Los Angeles, Dr. Yashar and his compassionate team specialize in pinpointing the source of nerve compression and delivering precise, minimally invasive treatments to relieve pain, restore function, and help you reclaim your daily routine.

Signs of a Pinched Nerve

A pinched nerve can be easy to overlook at first, but symptoms often escalate. Common signs include:

  • Sharp, radiating pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, back, or legs
  • Numbness or tingling in the extremities
  • Muscle weakness or loss of coordination
  • Burning or “electric shock” sensations down the arm or leg
  • Pain that worsens with certain movements or prolonged sitting/standing

How is a pinched nerve Treated?

The right treatment for a pinched nerve depends on its location and severity. Dr. Parham Yashar, one of the best minimally invasive spine surgeons in Los Angeles, offers customized, precision-guided treatment to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore function.

Treatment options may include:

  • Conservative care (physical therapy, medication, injections)
  • Microdiscectomy or decompression surgery to remove pressure
  • Minimally invasive laminectomy or foraminotomy
  • Advanced motion-preserving techniques to avoid fusion when possible

Using robotic-assisted technology and image-guided precision, Dr. Yashar ensures safer procedures, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Pinched Nerves

Can a pinched nerve cause dizziness?

Pinched nerves do not usually cause dizziness directly. However, if the nerve is compressed in the neck (cervical spine), it can disrupt balance signals and occasionally lead to dizziness as a secondary symptom.

Do all pinched nerves require surgery?

No. Many pinched nerves respond well to non-surgical treatment such as physical therapy or epidural injections. Surgery is considered if symptoms persist or worsen.

How long does recovery take after surgery for a pinched nerve?

Recovery varies based on the procedure. Many patients return to light activity within days and resume normal routines within a few weeks under Dr. Yashar’s guidance.
