Peripheral nerves are those nerves that are outside the central nervous system. That is, outside the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nerves are not safe from suffering disorders or alterations. When they suffer them a distortion of the information that is handled between the brains. The rest of the body takes place. That represents a barrier to our correct interaction with the environment that surrounds us. To combat these conditions we have nerve mobilizations. We explain a specific technique for the mobilization of the medial nerve.
Radial nerve: where it comes from, travels and what it does
The radial nerve is a peripheral nerve that comes from the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a nervous structure located in the neck. That arises from the union of several nerves that come from the spine, specifically from the union of nerves C5, C6, C7, C8 and T1). The radial nerve is born in the armpit. Immediately goes down the entire back of the arm to the elbow. Once there is divided into 3 branches. One that will continue on the back of the forearm one that continues on the front of the forearm. The last one also travels in the back but becomes more superficial. In the image below, you can see the path of the radial nerve: Continue reading “Medial nerve mobilizations to improve the carpal tunnel”
