How to Relieve Pain from Pinched Nerves: 4 Tips for Long Lasting Relief
Do you suffer from pain in your back or neck? If so, it's likely that the source of your pain is coming from your nerves. These are nerves exiting from either side of your spine, right next to the vertebra. When these nerves get irritated or compressed, it can lead to extreme pain and discomfort. In this blog, we will discuss some tips for relieving nerve pain quickly and easily!
 
Before we head into these tips, if you want to find out what does a pinched nerve pain feel like, read the blog HERE. It also gives you an understanding of why the symptoms of nerve pain can be so varied. 
 
These tips are simple yet very effective, as they make a big difference in the long run to your spine and nerve pain. So the first tip is to try and maintain a good posture in all your daily activities. If you are a mom who carries her baby or toddler on her hip for long periods of time try to swap sides often. This avoids the build-up of tension on one side of the spine and thus avoid irritation of the nerves on that side. 
 
The second tip is to follow good ergonomicsErgonomics is the study of people in their working environment. An example of this is when you are using multiple screens at work and you need to look at a screen on your left or right. Instead of turning your neck to look at the screen turn your office chair to face the screen that your full body turns instead of just your neck. This will help avoid the muscle spasm and tension in the neck and also the nerve pain that can get triggered by this.
 
The third tip is to use hot or cold packs on your neck or back as this is where your nerve pain originates. A cold pack works well for the dull achy feeling in the spinal muscles as cold packs help to ease the inflammation in the area. Meanwhile, hot packs help to ease muscle spasm and thus provide pain relief. You can use a hot pack if you have a stiff back or neck. If you want more details on hot and cold packs watch this video:


The fourth tip is to avoid or modify any repetitive movements by taking multiple mini-breaks. If you can do some light stretches during your breaks that will be even more beneficial. This gives time for your spine to destress and avoids any build-up of tension that can lead to nerve pains. An example of this is if you carry heavy loads at work try and take breaks where you stand up straight for a few seconds or a minute. If you are a mom, and you are changing diapers all day long, every time you finish off a diaper change stretch your back backwards to counteract the forward bent time you have spent at the changing table. 
 
If your nerve pain is due to medical issues such as diabetes, please work with your doctor or healthcare provider to manage your condition. These nerve issues are not covered in this blog.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
