Peripheral Nerve Entrapment - Treating the Radial & Median Nerve

The median and radial nerves are two of the major peripheral nerves in the arm. They are responsible for providing sensation and movement to the hand and arm.In some cases, these nerves can become entrapped or compressed, leading to peripheral nerve entrapment. Peripheral nerve entrapment occurs when a peripheral nerve is compressed, irritated or pinched. This can cause symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and loss of sensation in the affected area. Massage therapy can be helpful in managing the symptoms of peripheral nerve entrapment. It can help to relieve the pressure on the affected nerve and improve circulation to the area. This can reduce pain and improve range of motion. Massage can also help to relax tense muscles and soft tissue, which can alleviate muscle spasms and cramping.
