Nerves are the most sensitive structures in the body thus resolving any nerve irritation requires a gentle approach. Unfortunately conventional exercises that you might use to release a tight muscle or joint (e.g. stretches) are not effective at treating nerve root irritation – in fact, in most cases this can lead to the irritation getting worse.
An Elite Akademy Physiotherapist can help you resolve the nerve irritation anywhere in the body by using specialised hands-on techniques in session. The best course of action once you leave the clinic is to prevent re-aggravation of the nerves through activity limitation and having minimal delay between further sessions. You should only need to limit your regular activities in the early stages of recovery.
In severe cases, prescribed medication may be helpful. If nerve irritation does not resolve quickly with the hands-on techniques, your physiotherapist will help you find an alternate solutions to resolve it.
