Trapped Nerve Treatment in London

A trapped nerve, also known as a compressed or pinched nerve, occurs when surrounding tissues, such as muscles, bones, cartilage, or tendons, apply excessive pressure to a nerve.

Trapped Nerve: What Is It?

This pressure disrupts the nerve’s ability to function correctly, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. Trapped nerves can occur in various body parts, commonly in the spine, neck, wrists, and elbows.

One of the most common forms of a trapped nerve is sciatica, where the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg. Similarly, carpal tunnel syndrome involves a trapped nerve in the wrist, leading to hand discomfort and reduced mobility. While some trapped nerves may resolve themselves with rest and proper care, others may require medical intervention, such as physical therapy or more advanced treatments.

Addressing a trapped nerve promptly is essential, as prolonged compression can cause permanent damage to the nerve, leading to chronic pain or muscle weakness. At MHV Clinic, we focus on comprehensive approaches that promote recovery and help you return to optimal health.
