Clamp nerve
Often considered trivial.In fact, if not handled properly, this condition can trigger serious complications, ranging from paralysis to disorders of vital organs such as
lungs
And
heart
.
According to a specialist orthopedic orthopedy Eka Hospital BSD Asrafi Rizki Gatam, a mild clay nerve can indeed heal by itself through conservative treatment.However, if left unchecked and bad habits are still carried out, the impact can actually be fatal.
“If it is not treated, it can be numb, paralysis, loss of urination and large control, until the loss of sensation in the genital area,” Asrafi said in a media meeting in the Bintaro area, Friday (7/25).
Paralysis due to heavy clamp nerves can also have a wider impact.When a person is no longer able to move, the risk of complications increases.
“When it is paralyzed, the body is not actively moving. It can cause lung infections, heart problems, to drastically decreased quality of life,” he continued.
Handling of nerve clamps
Although so far the pinched nerve is more often associated with adulthood or the elderly, lately teenagers have also begun to experience it.Inactive lifestyle, poor posture, and sitting too long while playing gadgets is a trigger factor.
For mild cases, conservative therapy such as physiotherapy, stretching exercises, strengthening muscles, and adequate rest can be the initial solution.However, supervision still needs to be carried out regularly so that conditions do not develop become more severe.
As for the case of more serious clamp nerves, especially if it has interfered with activity or not responding to a doctor’s conservative treatment, it might suggest surgery.
“In adolescents, we prioritize the minimum invasive method. One of them is Bess (
Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery
), “explained Asrafi.
This technique uses two small incisions (around 0.5-0.8 cm) and is very precise, thus minimizing tissue trauma.
“The Bess method is considered very suitable for adolescent patients because the recovery time is faster and the risks are lower. This is important so that the growth and development process is not disturbed,” he said.
