HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR PINCHED NERVE
A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a
nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles or tendons.
This pressure disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness
or weakness.
A pinched nerve can occur at a number of sites in your body. A
herniated disk in your lower spine, for example, may put pressure on a nerve
root, causing pain that radiates down the back of your leg. Likewise, a pinched
nerve in your wrist can lead to pain and numbness in your hand and fingers
(carpal tunnel syndrome).
With rest and other conservative treatments, most people recover
from a pinched nerve within a few days or weeks.
Causes-- A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure (compression)
is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues.
In some cases, this tissue might be bone or cartilage, such as
in the case of a herniated spinal disk that compresses a nerve root. In other
cases, muscle or tendons may cause the condition.
In the case of carpal tunnel syndrome, a variety of tissues may
be responsible for compression of the carpal tunnel's median nerve, including
swollen tendon sheaths within the tunnel, enlarged bone that narrows the
tunnel, or a thickened and degenerated ligament.
A number of conditions may cause tissue to compress a nerve or
nerves, including:
·
Injury
·
Rheumatoid or wrist arthritis
·
Stress from repetitive work
·
Hobbies or sports activities
·
Obesity
If a nerve is pinched for only a short time,
there's usually no permanent damage. Once the pressure is relieved, nerve
function returns to normal. However, if the pressure continues, chronic pain
and permanent nerve damage can occur.
Symptoms-- Pinched nerve signs and symptoms include:
·
Numbness or decreased sensation in the area supplied by the
nerve
·
Sharp, aching or burning pain, which may radiate outward
·
Tingling, pins and needles sensations (paresthesia)
·
Muscle weakness in the affected area
·
Frequent feeling that a foot or hand has "fallen
asleep"
The problems related to a pinched nerve may be worse when sleeping.
Risk factors-- The following factors may increase your risk of experiencing
a pinched nerve:
·
Sex. Women are more likely to
develop carpal tunnel syndrome, possibly due to having smaller carpal tunnels.
·
Bone spurs. Trauma or a condition that
causes bone thickening, such as osteoarthritis, can cause bone spurs. Bone
spurs can stiffen the spine as well as narrow the space where your nerves
travel, pinching nerves.
·
Rheumatoid arthritis. Inflammation
caused by rheumatoid arthritis can compress nerves, especially in your joints.
·
Thyroid disease. People with thyroid disease
are at higher risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Other risk factors include:
·
Diabetes. People with diabetes are at
higher risk of nerve compression.
·
Overuse. Jobs or hobbies that
require repetitive hand, wrist or shoulder movements, such as assembly line
work, increase your likelihood of a pinched nerve.
·
Obesity. Excess weight can add
pressure to nerves.
·
Pregnancy. Water and weight gain
associated with pregnancy can swell nerve pathways, compressing your nerves.
·
Prolonged bed rest. Long periods of lying down
can increase the risk of nerve compression.
