Understanding Trapped Nerves
Trapped nerves are very common — around 80% of people will experience one at some point in their lives.
They usually occur when a vertebra moves out of alignment, placing uneven pressure on the intervertebral disc. This can lead to:
- A bulging disc
- A prolapsed disc
- A herniated disc if the issue is left untreated
Because nerves connect to so many areas of the body, the effects can vary widely. Symptoms linked to trapped nerves include:
- Drop foot or muscle weakness
- Sciatica and leg pain
- Migraines or headaches
- Frozen shoulder
- Lumbar (lower back) pain
- Hip or groin pain
The level of pain and disability can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-disrupting symptoms.
