Ehlers-Danlos & Nerve Pain: Dr. Matt Oseto Offers Expert Tips for Relief & Recovery

The Pod of Inquiry dives deep into the complex relationship between nerve entrapment and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in our upcoming episode with Dr. Matt Oseto.

EDS is a group of connective tissue disorders that can affect various parts of the body, including joints and nerves. Nerve entrapment occurs when a nerve is compressed by surrounding tissues, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness.

This episode explores Dr. Oseto's vast experience with EDS and peripheral nerve surgery.
