any advice for a trapped nerve in my neck?

Answer 1

The best treatment depends on a whole variety of questions - age, general health, medical history, how did it happen, symptoms etc, etc.
Trapped nerves in the neck often cause pain or 'pins and needles' in the hand and fingers. Which fingers are affected will give a clue to which nerve is trapped. Sometimes the cause is not a nerve being trapped but muscle spasm putting pressure on the nerve. Manipulation in this case might well make things a lot worse.

As for treatment, NOTHING should be attempted without a thorough examination by a registered professional. An Osteopath will conduct a detailed case history and do a thorough examination before deciding on the best course of treatment. Providing the patient is happy with what is suggested then treatment can then take place. Typically this would involve gentle massage and stretching followed (possibly) by manipulation. Manipulation may not be advisable or necessary and should be carried out with minimum force and only after massaging and stretching the area properly to 'warm up' the tissues. This way less force is needed, often a simple 'nudge' will do the trick. An few simple exercises afterwards will also probably help.

In short there is no simple answer *** many factors must be considered so please consult a properly registered professional. To find an osteopath in your area go to www.osteopathy.org.uk

I would not allow anyone to touch my neck until I have been to a neurosurgeon, he may do a MRI to be sure there is no other problems causing this trapped nerve.

Trust me, do not mess with your neck, I am paying for it for ever.

The big thing about alternative therapies is the alternative they provide is no contribution to resolution beyond placebo effect. You can of course ask your GP to arrange a private conventional referral, this at least will stand some chance of success and give some possibility that your money will not be totally wasted.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.
