How to Relieve Nerve Compression and Numbness? Get Expert Insights from ABTP.

Ever felt that tingling sensation in your limbs? It’s just not a glitch, but it is something your body is trying to tell you. It is basically your body’s nervous system sharing a help-me signal.

There can be multiple factors contributing to this condition, but the most common ones are:

Prolonged Sitting & Screen Time: These days, it is a common observation that many individuals are hunching over their phones or leaning over their laptops. These everyday habits can create nerve pressure. When an individual holds a position for too long, the nerves can become pinched, leading to tingling sensations and numbness in the limbs. Even, it is observed that sustained wrong posture can be a major cause of nerve compression. You may experience tingling or numbness in such cases, and all these are the misfiring signals that your nerves give.

Disc Bulge & Spinal Nerve Pressure: The discs between the vertebrae mainly act as shock absorbers and protect the nerves running towards the limbs. In the case of a disc bulge or when the disc has herniated, whether in the back or in the neck, it can impact the nerves running into your arms or legs. This pressure on the nerves can travel into your arms or legs, triggering a pins-and-needles feeling.  

Know the Root Cause of Nerve Compression

• Similar symptoms, different causes: Tingling or numbness may come from posture issues, disc bulge, or nerve compression.

• Quick fixes don’t last: Temporary relief doesn’t address the actual problem beneath the symptom.

• Prevents recurring discomfort: Treating the root cause stops symptoms from returning or worsening over time.

• Ensures accurate treatment: Knowing the exact issue helps your therapist choose the right techniques and exercises.

• Supports long-term recovery: Addressing the root leads to stronger movement, better nerve health, and lasting results.

This is how we tackle the nerve compression at ABTP:

Discover how to decode if tingling is truly caused by nerve compression.

Tingling may occur due to awkward sitting positions or leaning towards one direction for a longer period. But when it turns out to be a persistent one or becomes a frequent episode of your routine, then it is time to take notice. Medically, nerve compression or disc issues can also be an underlying reason for paraesthesia. 

You can start with simple tweaks:

• Take frequent breaks if you’re sitting or using a laptop/phone.

• Correct your posture: keep your shoulders relaxed, screen at eye-level, feet flat.

• Adjust your workstation: ergonomic chair, keyboard/mouse positioned well.

If the sensations still persist, it is time to take a deeper evaluation from ABTP – India’s Best Advanced Physiotherapy Centre. With the help of advanced scientific interventions, we look into the postural and spinal alignment as well as muscle balance.

,In this manner we can understand the root cause of the underlying condition. Furthermore, we treat the condition with manual therapy, nerve mobilization, and targeted exercises while also suggesting ergonomic corrections.

So, all we can say is that subtle tingling in your limbs isn’t normal, rather, it’s the warning sign that your nerves are sharing, especially in the conditions where you are spending hours sitting and are unable to maintain appropriate posture. Correct ergonomic habits, finest spinal and postural assessments at ABTP can help you restore the nerve health.
