Compression
|
"I had heard of
Gregs
lymphatic
drainage
massage
through My
Doctor
who is a Naturopath.
I had heard
that
it could help
Me
with my
cellulite.
We started
working
together and
I
noticed that
I was
beginning to
lose
weight.
Lots of
weight.
So much that
over
the last year
I
have dropped
several
sizes in my
clothes!
I have
personally
referred
friends,&
employees to
see
Greg.
I also have
regular
sessions of
both
lymph, and
regular
massage."

Definition of Nerve compression
Simply put, it is a pinching
of a nerve by putting too much pressure on it. That is why it is
referred to as a "pinched nerve". I am sure you are familiar with that
term. In the medical field nerve entrapment is also called pressure
neuropathy.
What
causes It?
There could be many things contributing
to it, but in the end it comes down to compression, constriction or
stretching of the nerve root. This results in something called ischemia.
(We discuss this in a
seperate article but basically it means the nerves are not getting
enough oxygen due to poor blood supply). The end result
is swelling below and above the problem area..
Symptoms:
Have you ever had your hand or foot fall asleep
before? Common symptoms
include the famous "pins and needles" feeling that you get when your
hand falls asleep. Other symptoms include numbness, burning
sensations, and pain.
Examples
of these symptoms :
- Sciatica pain
- Tennis elbow pain
- Carpal tunnel pain
Examples
Of Compressed Nerves:
- sciatic nerve (Tingling down the back
of your leg all the way up to your buttocks)
- tibial nerve (Pain from the knee and lower leg)
- peroneal nerve (pain along along the side of
your leg)
- plantar nerves (Pain or sensations in your feet)
- femoral nerve (tingling sensations from your
hip to your knee)
- median nerve (tingling sensations in your hands)
- ulnar nerve (shoots down your arm past your
elbows)
- radial nerve (also extends down your arm)
- nerves between the discs in your spinal column
Neuromuscular massage can help alleviate the pressure and thus the pain
that results from such pinched nerves.

Tennis
Elbow
"I
love tennis. So
when
I developed tennis
elbow, I was very discouraged. I knew that massage
could
help, but I actually called Greg by mistake. I was trying to call
another day
spa in our area. The lady said that Greg could probably help Me, so I
made an
appointment. After one series of massage My tennis elbow was gone. I
have sent
My husband, daughter, and tennis teamates to see Greg. I cant wait to
schedule
My next appointment."
