Understanding Arachnoiditis

Arachnoiditis is a serious, progressive neurological condition caused by inflammation of the arachnoid membrane surrounding the spinal cord and brain. It can be triggered by spinal surgery, epidural injections, infection, or trauma. In its most severe form, known as Adhesive Arachnoiditis, nerves clump together and adhere to surrounding tissue, causing permanent nerve damage, chronic pain, and disability.
