Pinched Nerve

A Pinched Nerve can be a source of persistent pain, discomfort, and functional limitation, affecting everything from your ability to move freely to your overall quality of life. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we regularly help patients manage and recover from nerve compression through expert Chiropractic and Physiotherapy care.


What Is a Pinched Nerve?


A pinched nerve, also known as nerve compression, occurs when surrounding tissues, such as bones, muscles, tendons, or discs, apply excessive pressure on a nerve. This pressure disrupts the nerve’s function, often resulting in pain, tingling, weakness, or numbness.


Pinched nerves can occur in various parts of the body, including:


  • Cervical spine (neck)
  • Lumbar spine (lower back)
  • Thoracic spine (upper back)
  • Peripheral nerves (arms, hands, legs, feet)


Common Causes of a Pinched Nerve


There are several potential causes of a pinched nerve, including:


  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Bone spurs (osteophytes)
  • Poor posture or prolonged positions
  • Repetitive motion injuries
  • Arthritis or degenerative disc disease
  • Trauma or injury


Even everyday habits like sitting improperly, sleeping in awkward positions, or overusing certain muscles can contribute to nerve compression over time.


Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve


Symptoms may vary depending on the location of the nerve, but commonly include:


  • Sharp or burning pain in the neck, back, or limbs
  • Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations
  • Numbness in the affected area
  • Muscle weakness
  • Radiating pain (e.g., sciatica or cervical radiculopathy)
  • Increased discomfort when sitting or turning the head


In some cases, symptoms may worsen with certain movements or positions and may even interfere with sleep or daily tasks.


How Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Can Help


At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we take a comprehensive and non-invasive approach to treating pinched nerves. Our goal is not just to relieve symptoms but to address the underlying cause and restore proper nerve function.


Chiropractic Care


Chiropractic adjustments help to:


  • Relieve pressure on the compressed nerve
  • Restore spinal alignment and mobility
  • Improve nerve flow and reduce inflammation
  • Support long-term spinal health


Gentle, targeted spinal manipulations can be especially beneficial for conditions like herniated discs and spinal misalignments.


Physiotherapy


Our physiotherapists create personalised treatment plans that may include:


  • Postural correction and ergonomic advice
  • Targeted exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles
  • Manual therapy and myofascial release
  • Stretching routines to improve flexibility
  • Modalities such as ultrasound or nerve gliding techniques


By improving mobility and muscle balance, physiotherapy helps reduce the risk of recurrence and promotes overall recovery.


When to Seek Help for a Pinched Nerve


If your symptoms last more than a few days or begin to interfere with your daily activities, it’s important to seek professional care. Without proper treatment, nerve compression can lead to chronic pain, muscle wasting, and permanent nerve damage.
