The invention relates to methods of relieving spinal nerve impingement disorders (SNIDs) and symptoms associated with SNIDs. The methods involve percutaneously inserting an instrument into a spinal neuroforamen to separate a spinal neural structure and a non-neural tissue. The invention further relates to methods of assessing the physical location of spinal neural structure impingement. These methods can be used in conjunction with the methods described herein or with known surgical or therapeutic methods to provide relief to subjects afflicted with a SNID.
