Any pinched nerve or nerve that is compressed or irritated has the potential to cause significant nerve pain. Nerve pain is often described as sharp, shooting or burning pain. Sometimes nerve pain is associated with muscle spasm, weakness, pins and needles, and numbness. Symptoms of nerve pain can be constant or intermittent in nature and typically remain on one side of the body. It is often difficult to sleep, and mornings can also be very uncomfortable. It is not surprising that people seek nerve pain treatment to ease their nerve pain.

Causes of Nerve Pain

Nerve pain is typicaly caused by various injuries of the spine however it is also possible to have a peripheral pinched nerve. These injuries can be acute such as those caused by trauma, or chronic due to long term wear and tear.

Acute episodes of nerve pain could result from high impact trauma such as motor vehicle accidents or sporting injuries. It is also common for low impact activities such as bending, lifting, twisting or even poor posture to cause nerve pain.

Common Injuries

Disc bulge: Discs are situated between your bony vertebrae, acting like shock absorbers to reduce stress on your spine. Disc injuries are common and can occur due to sudden movements or from long term postural stress. Disc injuries cause inflammation and pain and in extreme cases can irritate nearby spinal nerves leading to nerve pain, otherwise known as a pinched nerve. My Physio Perth are experts in nerve treatment Perth, including the treatment of disc injuries and are happy to dispel myths such as the ‘slipped disc.’
Spinal dysfunction: Poor posture can result in irritation of the spinal nerves and may lead to nerve pain.
Spinal degeneration: As we age, we develop wear and tear of the discs, joints, and bones of the spine. This can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis) through which the spinal nerves travel and result in nerve impingement and ultimately nerve pain.
Piriformis Syndrome: The Piriformis muscle originates from the tail bone and attaches to the femur in order to rotate and stabilize the hip joint. Because the sciatic nerve runs next to, or sometimes through the Piriformis, muscle, tension or strain of the muscle can result in Sciatic Nerve irritation.
