What Is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons. This pressure can disrupt the nerve’s function, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. Pinched nerves are most common in the neck, back, and arms.
What Causes a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve can be caused by several factors, including:
- Herniated Disc: A bulging or ruptured disc in the spine can press on nearby nerves.
- Bone Spurs: Extra bone growth from conditions like osteoarthritis can compress nerves.
- Injury or Trauma: An injury or accident can lead to swelling or misalignment, pinching nerves.
- Poor Posture: Prolonged bad posture can cause nerve compression, especially in the neck and lower back.
- Repetitive Stress: Repeated motions or heavy lifting can strain muscles and compress nerves.
- Muscle Tightness: Tense muscles can apply pressure to nearby nerves, resulting in pain.
Signs of a Pinched Nerve
Common signs and symptoms of a pinched nerve include:
- Sharp or shooting pain in the affected area
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Weakness in the muscles controlled by the affected nerve
- Pain that worsens with certain movements or positions
- Limited mobility or difficulty moving the affected area
