Holistic, Personalised Relief for Trapped Nerves at Ellie Physiotherapy & Wellness

We don’t just treat the nerve. We treat you — your body, your stress levels, your lifestyle, your movement patterns, and your long‑term health.
This is what makes us different. This is why people choose us.
What is a Trapped Nerve?
A trapped nerve occurs when surrounding muscles, joints, or discs place pressure on a nerve. This can lead to:
Sharp or shooting pain
Tingling or pins and needles
Numbness
Muscle weakness
Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or turning
Sciatica symptoms
Left untreated, nerve irritation can become chronic — but with the right approach, recovery can be fast and lasting.
Symptoms We Commonly Treat
Nerve Pain in the Neck, Back, Arms & Legs
Clients come to us with:
Shoulder blade pain
Numbness in hands or feet
Pain when sitting, driving, or working at a desk
These symptoms often improve quickly with the right combination of hands‑on treatment and holistic support.
- Most clinics focus only on the physical symptoms.

What Causes a Trapped Nerve?
Understanding the Root Cause
A trapped nerve can be triggered by:
Muscle tension
Poor posture
Stress and emotional load
Disc irritation
Repetitive movements
Sudden injury

We identify the true cause — not just the painful area — so your recovery is complete and long‑lasting.
