Common Peroneal Nerve Compression

Although the common peroneal nerve lies outside the lumbar spine, compression of this nerve often stems from upstream issues, including lumbar disc herniation or muscular entrapment. Symptoms include foot drop, tingling, and weakness along the outer leg.

Treating lumbar nerve root compression can relieve downstream nerve dysfunction. Chiropractic care and nerve gliding techniques may also support recovery. Addressing the entire nerve pathway is crucial in chronic cases of lower back and leg discomfort.
