WHAT IS A PINCHED NERVE in Delray Beach FL?

When a nerve is under pressure, it becomes a pinched nerve.

Symptoms of pinched nerves include:

• Pain where the pinched nerve is located
• Pain in other parts of the body, such as sciatica
• Numbness
• Weakness

When a nerve is pinched for too long, conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow can begin to develop. Your nerves can begin to malfunction.

If you’ve had the symptoms of a pinched nerve for a few days or more, it’s time to see a physician to find relief.

WHAT CAUSES A PINCHED NERVE?

Sometimes, it’s the result of repetitive motions. Often, pinched nerves happen when they’re pressed between ligaments, tendons, or bones.

Many conditions can cause tissues to put pressure on the nerves, including:

• Injury
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Stress
• Obesity

If you catch a pinched nerve early, usually there will be no permanent damage. The nerve will function normally after the pressure is relieved. If the pressure remains for long enough, there’s a chance of permanent nerve damage and chronic pain.

Sometimes, inflammation can cause a pinched nerve in the lower back, shoulders, feet, and arms. If a nerve is pinched in one part of your body, it’s possible you may feel symptoms in other regions of the body.

For example, a pinched nerve in your neck could cause symptoms in your:

• Elbow
• Hand
• Wrist
• Fingers

If a nerve is pinched or too long, it can also begin to break down causing swelling, extra pressure, and scarring.
