Nerve Entrapment
Introduction
Nerve entrapments in the leg (such as sciatic or peroneal nerve entrapments) can cause pain, numbness, or weakness, often mistaken for muscle or joint issues.
Signs/Symptoms
Pins and needles, burning pain, numbness, muscle weakness, or pain that radiates along the nerve pathway.
Causes
Compression from tight muscles, swelling, scar tissue, or anatomical variations.
How Physio Can Help
Treatment includes nerve gliding exercises, manual therapy, postural correction, and strengthening to relieve compression and restore function.
