Trapped Nerves, also known as pinched nerves or compressed nerves, occur when a nerve becomes squeezed or irritated by surrounding tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones. This pressure disrupts normal nerve function, often leading to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected area.

Trapped Nerves can develop due to several factors, including repetitive motion, poor posture, muscle tension, spinal disc herniation, arthritis, or trauma. They are common in both active individuals and those with sedentary lifestyles, particularly when the same body areas are placed under constant strain.

The symptoms of a Trapped Nerve vary depending on its location but may include sharp or burning pain, pins and needles, or radiating discomfort that follows the path of the affected nerve. Common areas where Trapped Nerves occur include:

• Neck (Cervical Radiculopathy): Pain radiating into the shoulders, arms, or hands.
• Lower Back (Lumbar Radiculopathy): Sciatica-like pain extending into the legs or feet.
• Wrists (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome): Tingling or numbness in the fingers and hand.
• Elbows (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment): Weakness or numbness along the forearm and hand.

At The Pain & Injury Clinic Mullingar, we provide targeted treatment for Trapped Nerves using Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy. This advanced, non-invasive technique helps to reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and restore normal nerve function. With expert assessment and care, most patients experience significant pain relief and a return to normal mobility and comfort.
