What is Nerve Tension Testing?
Nerve Tension Testing is a gentle method used by physiotherapists to check if nerves in your body are tight, irritated, or trapped. This can cause long-lasting pain or discomfort.
Why Should You Consider Nerve Tension Testing?
If you’ve tried other treatments but still have symptoms, nerve tension testing can help pinpoint the exact cause. It helps in diagnosing problems such as:
- Sciatica (pain down your leg)
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (pain or tingling in your hand)
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Lower back pain
- Elbow or wrist pain
- Tingling or numbness in arms and legs
How Does Nerve Tension Testing Work?
At our Melbourne clinic, our trained physiotherapist will gently move your limbs in specific ways to see if your nerves move freely. To get to the root of your discomfort, we utilize a range of targeted techniques, including ulnar nerve glides, a precise lower limb tension test, and a comprehensive upper limb tension test. These movements are slow, controlled, and safe.
Here’s what you can expect during your session:
- Assessment: We ask about your pain, symptoms, and health history.
- Testing: Gentle stretching and positioning of arms, legs, and neck.
- Results: Immediate feedback about the health of your nerves.
- Plan: A clear treatment plan to help ease your symptoms.
