What is a Nerve Pain?
Nerve pains, also known as neurogenic pain can be very debilitating and can often affect the quality of your life. But how do we get nerve pains, what does it feel like to have a nerve pain, how is it different from regular arm or leg pain and will it ever go away? These are some of the common questions around nerve pain that we will discuss in this blog. 

Our spine is made up of vertebra stacked on top of one another with a disc in between every two vertebra. There are nerves exiting the spine on either side at the level of these vertebra. So the nerves that exit the spine at the neck (cervical spine) will supply your hands and the nerves that come out the spine at your lower back (lumbar spine) will supply the bottom, legs all the way up to your toes. If these nerves are compressed or irritated for any reason such as a disc bulge or a spinal stenosis or an injury in the area this can lead to a nerve pain. A classic example of this is Sciatica, that is caused by the irritation or compression of the Sciatic nerve, the longest and thickest nerve in the body. It can cause a nerve pain anywhere along your lower back to your bottom and down to your toes. Nerve pains can also originate from other medical issues like diabetes or some medications. 

When you have a nerve pain you might feel it as a tingling numbness or a burning sensation or sharp shooting pain or just heaviness in the arms or legs. Different fibres in our nerves carry different sensations and the type of pain that you feel will depend on which part of the nerve is being irritated or compressed. The type of pain can vary between two people or between your left and your right side of your body. 
 
A common question that gets asked about nerve pain is if pain from pinched nerves (in the neck & back) ever go away?  Watch this video to learn more about this ….


It is important to know that most of the issues leading to nerve pain and neck/back pain are caused by inflammation. If you want to learn more about how to reduce your inflammation and nerve pain you can find the details HERE

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
xx Swati
