Nervinklämning i skulderen: Symptomer, årsaker og behandling

Nervinklämning i axeln uppstår när en nerv kläms

Shoulder nerve entrapment, also known as shoulder entrapment, is a condition in which a nerve in the shoulder area becomes pinched or compressed. This can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect shoulder function and cause discomfort. In this article, we will review the most common symptoms, causes, and treatment options for shoulder nerve entrapment.

Definition and understanding: Nerve compression and impingement in the shoulder

When a nerve in the shoulder is pinched, it can cause radiating pain from the shoulder down the arm, tingling, numbness and reduced mobility. Common causes include muscle tension, injury, inflammation and poor posture. Early diagnosis and treatment with rest, physiotherapy and support are crucial to relieve the pain and prevent the condition from worsening.

Pinched nerve in the shoulder symptoms - this is what it feels like

A pinched nerve can cause a variety of symptoms, often worsened by specific movements or at night.

Common signs of nerve compression in the shoulder:

  • Pain and tenderness in the shoulder, which may be sharp, burning, or aching
  • Pain in the shoulder that radiates into the arm – sometimes all the way down to the hand
  • Tingling and numbness in the arm, hand, or fingers
  • Muscle weakness in the arm that makes it difficult to lift or carry
  • Limited mobility in the shoulder joint, especially when lifting overhead
  • Worsened pain at night or while resting
  • In impingement: pain when the arm is lifted to the side or forward, often due to compression of the supraspinatus tendon


Common causes of pinched nerve in the shoulder and shoulder blade

Common causes of pinched nerve in the shoulder and shoulder blade:

  • Wear and tear of the shoulder joint with age
  • Rotator cuff injuries that create pressure on nerves
  • Inflammation that narrows the space where the nerve passes
  • Poor posture leading to nerve compression in the shoulder and neck area
  • Overuse of the shoulder due to repetitive movements or heavy loads
  • Thoracic spine problems that affect shoulder biomechanics

Impingement often occurs when tissues around tendons and muscles swell, which can cause these structures to become pinched when the arm is lifted.
