Exercises for Trapped Nerve | MHV Clinic

Specific exercises can help alleviate trapped nerve symptoms by reducing pressure and improving flexibility. These exercises, often part of physical therapy, focus on gently stretching and strengthening muscles around the affected nerve. Here are some practical exercises:

Neck Stretches

Gently tilting the head from side to side and holding the position can relieve tension in the neck muscles, easing pressure on trapped nerves in the cervical region.

Sciatica Stretches

The piriformis stretch and seated hamstring stretch target the lower back and legs, helping reduce sciatica pain.

Nerve Gliding Exercises

These exercises help the nerve move freely within its surrounding structures. Nerve glides involving hand and wrist movements can be highly beneficial for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Lumbar Rotation Stretches

For trapped nerves in the lower back, lying on your back and gently twisting your torso to one side stretches the lower spine and relieves compression.

Strengthening Core Muscles

Exercises such as planks and bridges strengthen the core and support the spine, preventing further nerve compression in the back.

Regularly practising these exercises can help manage slipped disc symptoms, improve posture, and prevent further injuries.
