Understanding the Crisis
Nerve disorders affect nearly 20 million Americans, according to data from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Yet, these conditions often remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. Patients suffer from chronic pain, numbness, tingling, burning sensations, and muscle weakness, all of which can erode their mental health and productivity. What’s worse, the cost of managing nerve conditions is staggering — not just for individuals, but for the nation’s healthcare system. In 2023 alone, Americans spent over $60 billion treating nerve-related conditions.
