Nerve Pain

Nerve Pain and Trapped Nerves in Cardiff

At Governing Function Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in Cardiff city centre, we provide professional care for people experiencing nerve pain, including symptoms caused by trapped or irritated nerves.
Our approach combines osteopathy, neurology, and rehabilitation to help you understand the contributing factors and support better function and comfort.

Understanding Nerve Pain

Nerve pain can occur when a nerve is compressed, irritated, or affected by surrounding muscles, joints, or posture. Common areas include the back, neck, shoulder, arm, or leg, and symptoms may include:

  • Shooting, tingling, or “electric” pain

  • Numbness or pins-and-needles

  • Weakness in muscles supplied by the affected nerve

  • Pain that worsens with certain movements or positions

At Governing Function, we assess nerve-related symptoms carefully to identify mechanical, muscular, or postural contributors. Nerve irritation can often be influenced by how your body moves and functions, making an individualised assessment essential.

Our Approach to Care

Your first consultation involves a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and daily activities, followed by a thorough physical and neurological assessment.
This helps us identify patterns of movement, joint restrictions, or muscular imbalances that may be contributing to nerve irritation.

Treatment may include:

  • Osteopathic techniques to improve joint and muscle function

  • Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR) to address neurological dysfunction

  • Movement and rehabilitation exercises to reduce mechanical irritation and improve function

  • Lifestyle, posture, and ergonomic advice to support long-term nerve health

Our goal is to help relieve contributing tension, improve movement, and support your overall functional comfort.
