Pinched nerve / Compressed nerve (Neuritis / Peripheral nerve entrapment)
Rehab training for the injury
Rehab 1 – Rehab 2 – Rehab 3 – Rehab 4
Acute phase:
You should begin the following from acute phase from the start, even if 12 hours or more have elapsed before you get started.
0-5 min. (or as soon as possible after injury)
- Elevate the shoulder over heart level.
- Apply a tight compression band if possible or squeeze your hands around your shoulder.
5-40 minutes. While applying ice
- Lying down make circular movements with the shoulder joint to the pain limit, thus allowing the fluid to be removed by the body so that the swelling dissipates as much as possible.
The rest of Day 1 and Day 2.
- Keep a tight compression band on for the rest of the day, but make sure it is not so tight that the arm starts sleeping or you experience numbing.
- Lying down make circular movements with the shoulder joint as much as possible
- Use the shoulder minimally and stop immediately if you experience pain
Sub-acute phase:
Day 3-100
- Begin shoulder rehab 1-4.
- Use the shoulder as normally as possible if there is no pain associated with it.
- Use support bandages, sport taping or kinesiology tape when you return to sports and exercise.
