Pinched Nerve Treatment Mississauga

What Is a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is placed on a nerve by surrounding tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, or spinal discs. This pressure can interfere with normal nerve function and lead to pain, numbness, weakness, or abnormal sensations.

Pinched nerves commonly occur in the neck, lower back, shoulder region, wrist, and elbow. Depending on the location of the nerve compression, symptoms may radiate into the arms, hands, legs, or feet.

Physiotherapy helps identify the source of compression and addresses the underlying cause to promote long-term recovery.
