What Is Nerve Compression Syndrome?
9. Prevention
When the cause of nerve compression syndrome is an underlying medical condition, keeping this condition under control may help to prevent or improve symptoms. Maintaining a healthy weight is helpful because excess weight can put pressure on nerves.
Avoid sitting, standing, or lying in one position for a long period of time. Have an ergonomic evaluation of your workspace to see if you can improve your positioning. Whenever possible, limit the repetitive activities you engage in. If you cannot avoid them, take frequent breaks to give the affected areas a rest.
