“Can back nerve damage be fixed?”

If there is compression of the nerve, surgery can remove the compression.

Nerve damage in the lumbar spine can be due to a variety of reasons and the extent of injury is also variable. In cases of nerve injury due to mechanical compression such as disc herniation or spinal canal narrowing, nerve damage can show some improvement upon treating the underlying problem. Saeed S.
