Damage to the spine can interrupt the transmission of nerve impulses involved in the reflex arc, leading to impaired or absent reflex responses. Depending on the location and severity of the damage, reflexes may be diminished, exaggerated, or completely absent. Physical therapy and rehabilitation techniques may help restore some function in reflex arcs affected by spinal damage.
Answer... They operate on the brain, spine[when nerve damage is present], do nerve biopsies... that sort of thing... too numerous to catalog here... Why not do a 'net search. There is a great deal of information for you.
In the lumbar spine, compression or injury to the sciatic nerve (specifically the peroneal branch) can lead to foot drop. This nerve supplies the muscles that control dorsiflexion of the foot, and damage can result in weakness or paralysis of these muscles, leading to difficulty lifting the foot and toes.
You can find nerve tissue mostly in your spinal cord. Your spine protects your spinal cord. An other word for the spine is vertebral column.
There are any number of ways. Since we walk upright and use our hands, the spine really is not well made for walking upright. We have four curves and all of our body's weight on the lower part. Gravity does compress the discs and that causes nerve damage. Sudden stops that can occur in car crashes can further move the vertebra and that does more damage. As we age, bone loss occurs and again causes nerve damage. Maybe we need to be redesigned.

If it is done correctly nothing should go wrong. However if a nerve is hit or severed then it can cause serious damage which may include paralysis.

The nerve pathway travels down from the s1 spine. If the nerve root at the s1 is impinged or herniated, symptoms of sciatica can appear.
There are several nerve branches in the spinal column. The most popular being the sciatic nerve which branches of the lumbar spine into the legs.
