You’re at increased risk if you frequently participate in activities with repetitive motions, such as running, working on a computer, or repeatedly swinging a hammer.
Some medical conditions also increase your risk of a pinched nerve, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid disease. The added pressure on your spine when you’re pregnant or obese also may impinge on your nerves.
After a thorough physical examination, your New Jersey doctor checks your muscle strength and reflexes. Then he checks to see if your pain increases with certain motions. You may undergo additional tests such as a high-resolution MRI or an ultrasound. We may perform conduction studies to see if the nerve is functioning normally.
Treatment starts with discontinuing any activity that aggravates the affected discomfort. For some types of pinched nerves, your doctor may recommend wearing a splint to immobilize the area. Wearing a splint is expected when you have carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition. Learning ways to prevent pain, proper sitting and standing postures, help your recovery, and prevent future discomfort.
When simple lifestyle changes don’t relieve the discomfort, physical therapy can help you learn to stretch and strengthen muscles to relieve pressure. Over-the-counter pain relievers help to alleviate inflammation and pain. Corticosteroid injections reduce pain and swelling.
While your doctors at Redefine Healthcare always start with the minimally invasive treatments for pain, minimally invasive surgery may be required. The ligament that houses your carpal tunnel may need to be severed. If you need more extensive pinched nerve in the back treatment, your doctor may remove a bulging disc or bone spurs.
