Damage to nerve layers may lead to AXONAL DEGENERATION.
Compression, nerve entrapment, and eventual loss of blood supply lead to characteristic changes in the nerve itself. The length of time a tissue can survive oxygen deprivation varies, but all ischemic tissue will eventually become necrotic under such circumstances.
The timeline generally begins with subperineurial EDEMA, followed by THICKENING of the perineurium, STIFFENING of the epineurium, THINNING of the peripheral myelin sheath, and — as the nerve breaks down — axonal degeneration.
Restoration of blood and oxygen supply via massage may minimizes damage, but it depends on the TYPE of structure causing the compression and the DEGREE of load on the nerve.
Immediate treatment should include:
🔺Training modifications
🔺 Graded exposure stretching of injured connective tissues
🔺 Stabilization of weakened areas
For long-term improvement, BIOMECHANICAL ALIGNMENT problems will need to be addressed.
