How To Fix A Nerve Problem

A nerve learns, it tolerates, it conditions and then eventually it can give back, though, maybe not in the way you’d expect it to.

A nerve can only give back what it is given.

Take for example the daily habit of sitting at a desk. Nerves lengthen and shorten to accommodate this activity. How can we expect it to simply adapt to a new environment without questioning?

Some of us may be fortunate enough to get away without many questions, whereas, some may not. 

If nerves scream or shout, there is always a valid reason, you just need to figure out what that reason is. 

There is a descriptive phrase, that “nerves scream at rest”, suggesting a feeling of intense pain or discomfort, even when someone is supposedly resting. This feeling could be related to nerve damage, nerve pain, or an overactive nervous system. 

Often unexpected change is what causes  injuries/problems to happen. From irritations to entrapments. From sensitisation to desensitisation.

Like learning a new skill which takes some honing, nerves and other tissues in and around the body adjust in the same way. 

Learn how to modulate the nerves through common modalities like stretching and strengthening. If you sit for long, standing may help temporarily. But that alone simply can’t change much. 

Train your nerves to learn a new range, to cater for both sitting and standing, bending and lifting etc. Doing something once or ad hoc is not enough. Give it a valid reason to adapt and with  time, you’ll forget you had a problem in the first place. You’ll simply be left with a good habit to balance out the bad.
