Top 5 Signs Of A Pinched Nerve In The Neck & Shoulder Area | El Paso Manual Physical Therapy
Are you looking for more information about pinched nerves in the neck and shoulder area?
I'm going to cover with you today, the top 5 signs of a pinched nerve in the neck and shoulder area.
#1 Neck and Shoulder Pain
The areas that are commonly affected are on the side of the neck, on the back of the neck, up into the base of the head, in the upper trap area, and into the shoulder.
The muscles might spasm, they might tighten up, and get really hard, and that can be get very painful. Especially if they have been holding like that for a long time.
#2 Trouble Sleeping At Night
People with pinched nerves in the neck and shoulder area, often have difficulties finding a comfortable position to lie in when they fall asleep at night. They are often tossing and turning, they lie on one side, and then it starts to hurt more. Then they flip over and get comfortable for a bit, and then the other side gets affected. Or the same side may get affected as well.
Often times, people with trouble sleeping, because of pinched nerves, will live often on pain killers to go to sleep. They take something right before they go to bed, because they know what’s coming. They know they are going to have trouble falling asleep.
#3 Difficulty Turning The Head To One Side
People with pinched nerves, often can turn their head to one side without problems, but then going the other way, it’s little more uncomfortable. Stretching is happening. It may be on either side of the neck, and sometimes it changes from day to day.
#4 Headaches and Migraines
People with pinched nerves in their neck and shoulders, often have headaches and migraines and they may present in different areas.
Headaches and migraines like that, can cause sensitivity to light. They can also make you very grumpy as well, because it is just very uncomfortable to have those symptoms, while trying to work, and enjoy your relationships.
#5 Stretches and Exercises have not helped
Often times, when we see people here in the clinic, with pinched nerves in the neck and shoulder area, they have tried stretches, they have tried exercises, they have gone onto Google or YouTube, asked friends, or had Doctors or other healthcare professionals prescribed them certain exercises and stretches, and have found that it didn’t really last very long.
