Chiropractic Care for a Trapped Nerve in London
More than a third of the patients who visit Inc-Health Clinic worry that they may have a trapped nerve. On examination, the cause is often muscle tension or another common condition rather than something more serious, but it is important to have symptoms properly assessed.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess where your symptoms are coming from, explain what I find, and recommend appropriate care. A trapped nerve in the lower back can also be linked to sciatica.

Understanding the Problem
What Is a Trapped Nerve?
Trapped nerves give a wide variety of symptoms. More often than sharp pain, people notice pins and needles, numbness or a dull ache, most commonly in the arms or legs. Sciatica is one example.
Nerves are very sensitive, and when one is irritated or compressed, sensation can feel dull or be lost, and muscles can feel weak. The nerve may be affected where it leaves the spine, passing through narrow openings between the vertebrae, or further along its path, for example in piriformis syndrome or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Clear, personalised care for trapped nerves
Every consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your spine and the area affected, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

Why It Happens
What Causes a Trapped Nerve?
The most common cause of nerve irritation is physical pressure. Nerves leave the spine through narrow openings, and anything that narrows the space further, or that squeezes the nerve along its route, can irritate it. Poor posture, long hours at a desk, repetitive movements, inflammation and muscle tension can all contribute.
Symptoms often start mildly and can change over time, so it is worth having them checked early. Carpal tunnel syndrome, for example, occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. Posture is often part of the picture, so you may also find our posture pain page useful.
Getting Help
When to See a Chiropractor for a Trapped Nerve
If you notice pain, tingling or numbness in the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, back or leg, it is sensible to have it assessed sooner rather than later, as nerve symptoms often respond better when care starts early.
I examine your spine and the area where you feel symptoms, test movement, strength and sensation, and explain what may be contributing. Chiropractic care may include gentle adjustments, soft tissue work, posture advice and exercises. If your symptoms suggest something that needs medical attention, I will refer you on.
Seek urgent medical help if you develop sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or genitals, or symptoms in both legs.

Nerve Symptoms
Pinched Nerve Symptoms: Tingling, Numbness and Radiating Pain
A trapped or pinched nerve can cause sharp or burning pain, pins and needles, numbness or weakness in the area the nerve supplies. In the neck, symptoms may travel into the shoulder, arm or hand, while in the lower back they may run into the buttock or leg. Ida examines your spine, joints and nerve function to work out where the nerve is being irritated and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Seek urgent medical help if you develop sudden weakness, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels. For leg symptoms from the lower back, read our page on sciatica treatment, and for neck-related arm pain see neck pain treatment.
