Nerve Impingement: you’ve heard of it, but what is it, and how can Massage Therapy help?
Nerve impingement, or a pinched nerve, occurs where there is too much pressure applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues such as bone, tendon, cartilage, or muscles.
Pinched nerves can be caused by a number of conditions:
Injury
Arthritis
Overuse
Prolonged positions
Diabetes
Some common signs and symptoms that might indicate a nerve impingement:
Numbness
Decreased sensation
Sharp, aching, or burning pain
Tingling
⭐ Massage therapy can target the area of a pinched nerve, and provide effective relief from the symptoms when the cause of nerve compression is stressed or tight muscles. It helps the muscles relax, and also help reduce the pain that comes along with it.
