What is a Pinched Nerve?



 What is a Pinched Nerve?

The term pinched nerve describes damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. Pinched nerves come from compression, constriction, or stretching. Symptoms include one or more of the following:
  • Numbness
  • Pins and needles
  • Burning sensations
  • Pain radiating outward from the injured area
  • The feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep"
Pinched nerves can sometimes lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. Such injuries may vary from minor, temporary damage to a more permanent condition if not quickly addressed.

Fitworks Corrective Therapy has a solution to help relieve the symptoms of pinched nerves. By building specific muscles and stretching, the posture of the body with become perfect.  The compression and constriction on the vertebrae and joints will be removed reducing the pressure on the nerves for relief of the pinched nerves.
