Can a pinched nerve on foot heal?

Dr. Lauren Elson answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Relieve the pinch!: See a physiatrist to determine exactly what nerve is being pinched, and where/why it is being pinched. With out altering mechanics or the problem, it is unlikely to get better. Most cases are manageable with proper diagnosis/treatment.
