Find Relief with Expert Pinched Nerve Treatment at BioMotion Physical Therapy
At BioMotion Physical Therapy, we provide personalized and effective care for patients experiencing a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve root by surrounding tissues like spinal bones, muscles, or soft tissues, leading to discomfort that can affect your daily life.
Pinched nerve symptoms can vary widely, from a dull ache or burning pain to muscle weakness, shoulder pain, and neck pain. Whether you’re dealing with cervical radiculopathy, lumbar radiculopathy, or carpal tunnel syndrome, we offer targeted treatment plans that help you relieve pain and prevent permanent nerve damage.
Our non-surgical approach allows us to address your symptoms with care and precision, helping you regain function without invasive procedures.
What Causes a Pinched Nerve?
Pinched nerves happen when tissues put excessive pressure on a nerve root or nerve roots branch, interfering with the nerve’s ability to function. Common pinched nerve causes include herniated discs, spinal misalignment, repetitive stress, or inflammation from surrounding soft tissues. Additional causes of a compressed nerve include:
- Herniated disk or herniated disc
- Bone spurs in the spinal canal
- Inflammation due to rheumatoid arthritis
- Weight-related issues, including excess weight or weight gain
- Repetitive tasks or poor posture
- Cubital tunnel syndrome, carpal tunnel, or nerve entrapment
- Neurological disorders
In some cases, symptoms may be temporary, such as when your arm or leg has “fallen asleep.” A pinched nerve in the cervical spine can lead to pain, numbness, or tingling that travels through the shoulders and arms. In these cases, a pinched or compressed nerve may lead to chronic pain and lasting nerve impairment if not addressed properly.
Why Physical Therapy Matters for Nerve Compression
At BioMotion, our goal is to provide long-term pain relief and improve your physical function without resorting to surgery. Physical therapy is a proven method to treat a pinched nerve by reducing compression, improving posture, and strengthening the surrounding muscles to protect the affected nerve.
Encourages healing and circulation to the affected area
Strengthens muscles to support the spinal cord and joints
Improves flexibility and reduces stiffness
Teaches safe movements that avoid worsening pain or further injury
How We Diagnose and Treat Pinched Nerves
When you visit BioMotion Physical Therapy for pinched nerve treatment, our team begins with a full physical exam to assess your mobility, posture, and pain points. If necessary, we may collaborate with your physician for imaging or testing to confirm a pinched nerve diagnosed by MRI or nerve studies.
Your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Manual therapy to relieve pressure on the median nerve, ulnar nerve, or other nearby nerves
- Therapeutic exercise to restore strength and flexibility
- Modalities to reduce inflammation, such as ice, heat, or electrical stimulation
- Ergonomic education to prevent re-injury
We also help patients reduce reliance on medications by offering natural pain relief techniques, though in some cases your physician may prescribe pain medication or anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to support healing.
Recognizing the Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve
Common pinched nerve symptoms can include:
- Sharp pain or burning pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, back, or legs
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Radiating pain or worsening pain when sitting or moving
- Muscle weakness or loss of grip strength
- Symptoms that are worse at night or after prolonged activity
Conditions like cervical radiculopathy, lumbar radiculopathy, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment can mimic other injuries, which is why professional evaluation is essential. In severe cases, untreated compression may lead to permanent nerve damage. You may notice your symptoms worse at night or after long periods of sitting, especially if the affected nerve remains compressed.
Do You Need Medical Treatment for a Pinched Nerve?
While most pinched nerves resolve with conservative treatments, some cases may require medical attention or even a surgical procedure if symptoms don’t improve. At BioMotion, our goal is to help you avoid invasive options by addressing the underlying cause through physical therapy.
