Do you often wake up with unpleasant sensations such as tingling or tingling ? Do you often feel a sharp pain during movement that may ease, but eventually attacks again? One of the causes may be nerve oppression. Sometimes we talk about a pinched nerve when it is an acute condition that causes significant symptoms, especially pain. The result is limitations in normal daily activities or disturbed sleep.
Find out exactly what nerve compression is, what helps nerve compression, and how it can be prevented. What can help with pain, swelling and inflammation? Read more here.
The pain is sharp, burning or dull and may be accompanied by numbness in the hands or feet. Patients often describe this sensation as if their limbs are “not listening”. Difficulties may worsen with certain movements or activities, such as turning your head or stretching your back.
However, the lower limbs are not spared either, where the pain can shoot from the lower back (if it is a nerve oppression in the lumbar spine or sciatic nerve oppression).
Pain and numbness in the upper limbs, on the other hand, are among the symptoms of a pinched nerve in the cervical spine. [1]
Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis. Do not use this or any other article on the internet to make a diagnosis. Don’t put off seeing a doctor and address your condition early.
Nerve compression is a condition in which a nerve is compressed or strangled by surrounding structures such as bone, muscle, tendon or swelling. This compression can lead to pain, tingling, weakness or loss of sensation in the area supplied by the nerve. Nerve compression can occur in different parts of the body and the affected area becomes a source of pain or other discomfort. [2]
Nerve compression occurs when a nerve is subjected to excessive pressure from surrounding tissues (bone, cartilage, muscle or tendon). Oppression can occur in many parts of the body – the most common include a pinched nerve in the lower back, a pinched nerve in the hip or general nerve root oppression.
Nerve pressure can be related to the following situations:
Nerve compression also occurs when an intervertebral disc is prolapsed or when bone growths form on joints affected by arthrosis. Growths may also appear on the spine. [3],[4]
Nerve pressure can affect anyone, especially in older age. However, nerve compression in the wrist area, specifically carpal tunnel syndrome, which belongs to the isthmus syndromes, affects women more often.
The following are also consideredrisk factors for nerve compression:
Different procedures are used in the diagnosis.
If the symptoms of nerve compression do not subside after a few days of rest and do not respond to self-medication, you should see a doctor. Warning signs include difficulty grasping or holding objects in the hand and significant weakness of the limbs that prevents normal movement. [7]
Failure to treat nerve compression can lead to a number of complications:
Nerve damage
Muscle atrophy
Loss of sensitivity
Difficulty with movement
Do not delay treatment for nerve compression, and see a specialist if you have any health problems or doubts about your health. This will prevent unnecessary health complications.
Rest and conservative treatment are usually sufficient for patients to fully recover within days or weeks. If the oppression lasts only a short time, there are usually no long-term problems. Once the pressure on the nerve is relieved, its functionality is fully restored. If the nerve is pinched for a prolonged period of time, permanent changes and chronic pain can occur. [11]
The first recommendation for nerve compression is usually to keep the affected area at rest. Activities or movements that have caused distress and exacerbate the problem should be avoided.
Further action depends on the severity and cause of the oppression.
If it is necessary to take medication, it is usually:
These drugs relieve pain, inflammation and swelling.
Physiotherapy helps to stretch and strengthen the muscles in the affected area. This helps to relieve the pressure on the nerve in question. The physiotherapist will also recommend suitable exercises for the home environment.
Braces and collars temporarily immobilise the problem area and facilitate its recovery. [12]
Massages relieve pain caused by pinched nerves and relax tight muscles. A gentle massage can have a better effect than an intense deep massage. [13]
If conservative treatment does not bring results and the problems are of a long-term nature, surgery may be the solution. Surgery is used, for example, in severe cases of intervertebral disc prolapse or carpal tunnel syndrome. [14]
Treatment for nerve compression can only be determined by your doctor after considering your overall health. Therefore, do not use this article as a guide to treatment, which can only be determined by a doctor.
The risk of nerve compression can be minimized by various measures.
In the home environment it is possible not only to take preventive measures, but also to try supportive “self-treatment” in case of difficulties.
Nerve compression can occur in various parts of the body when a nerve is subjected to excessive pressure from surrounding tissues.
Nerve compression is accompanied by pain, tingling or decreased sensitivity at the sites to which the affected nerve leads.
The treatment is mainly conservative – physiotherapy, pain and inflammation medication, orthoses or massage.
For long-term problems of a serious nature, surgical intervention may bring relief.
The treatment of nerve compression is always determined by a doctor based on a general examination, an assessment of your health and an accurate diagnosis.
After a general examination, your doctor will recommend treatment for the cause of the nerve compression. They will also advise you on possible lifestyle adjustments and the next course of action.
Symptomatic treatment focuses on the manifestations or signs (symptoms) of the disease. Such treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and support comprehensive treatment during the course of the disease.

The solution may be symptomatic treatment using pulsed magnetotherapy, which targets symptoms and signs such as pain, swelling and inflammation. In addition, such treatment can support comprehensive treatment and significantly improve quality of life.
The basic principle of Biomag 3D pulsed magnetotherapy is the generation of electromagnetic pulses. These pulses penetrate through the clothing and through the entire depth of the tissue to the point of targeted application. The pulses have specially developed biotropic parameters (e.g. frequency, shape, intensity) to best affect various health problems.
The application is very simple. Select the desired therapeutic effect on the device and attach the connected applicator to the desired application site. Magnetotherapy is usually applied 2 times a day for 20 minutes.
We will be happy to help you try this method free of charge and advise you on which device to purchase.
