5. Stretching
Stretching can definitely make a huge difference when it comes to preventing pinched nerves. There are certain types of stretches that you can do that will expand your muscles and make sure that they do not continue to contract and cause the radiculopathy that you are experiencing. However, it is important to do regular stretching before you do any sort of exercise. That’s because strenuous exercise can actually contribute to pinched nerves as well.
Any exercise where you stretch out your back muscles, including the shoulders and the lats, is going to be beneficial when it comes to preventing radiculopathy. Of course, stretching may not be enough so you may want to combine it with other types of natural treatment as well like the items listed here. For example, combining the way that you sit at your desk or stand with back stretches may eliminate your radiculopathy entirely.
