Trapped Nerve (explained)

A Trapped Nerve is the common name for an Entrapment neuropathy. It is caused by compression or irritation of nerves and produces nerve pain symptoms either down the arm or leg, around the chest or even headaches. There are certain areas in the body that are more likely to trap a nerve due to the structure of the body parts (bones and muscles) around the nerves. This can also affect the blood vessels causing anoxia to the nerves and surrounding tissues.

Common sites for trapped nerves giving radiating pain are:
  • Neck-upper neck headaches and lower neck arm pain
  • Elbow-lower arm pain
  • Wrist-hand pain
  • Hip- leg pain including sciatica
  • Lower Leg-anterior lower leg pain
  • Foot-pain in the top of the foot

These are common problems encountered by osteopaths and can be easily treated depending on the cause. This will be discussed at the time of the initial consultation.
