Double crush syndrome occurs when a nerve is compressed in more than one location along its path—leading to pain, weakness, and numbness. At Oakridge Physiotherapy Centre in Vancouver, we offer specialized care for double crush syndrome physiotherapy, aimed at addressing multiple points of nerve irritation for lasting relief.
This condition often affects the upper limbs and can involve areas like the neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist. Common examples include simultaneous compression of the cervical spine and carpal tunnel. Our experienced physiotherapists assess your full movement chain to pinpoint where nerve interference is occurring.
Treatment typically combines manual therapy, neural mobilizations, posture correction, and strengthening exercises to reduce compression and restore nerve function. Adjunct therapies such as massage therapy and electrotherapy may be included to ease muscular tension and inflammation.
Our team of specialists works collaboratively to ensure your care is holistic and effective. If you’ve been struggling with persistent tingling, burning, or numbness, we can help.
