CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO TREATING HAND NUMBNESS
Well, sorting through the treatment of hand numbness is a process, but that’s because of the variety of potential underlying causes for it which we have to review.
In this chapter, you’ll learn about the theory of how to comprehensively rehab and treat the symptoms of an ulnar nerve compression. HINT: This is the most important part for you to read.
Treatment of the ulnar nerve can be broken down into five parts:
Find the site of compression
Decrease local irritation (passively or actively)
Decrease activity creating compression (until under control)
Increase nerve’s ability to slide through
Improve postural control, breathing patterns, movement patterns, etc.
This will be worth your time. It’s only a 5 minute section before we go into the stretch and passive care you came to see.
1. Find the site of compression
Think of a nerve as a garden hose. Any kink in the hose will affect the water flow, regardless of its location. When considering ulnar nerve compression, it works much like the garden hose, but there are a few sites on the nerve that have high probability of becoming entrapped:
At the spine (the nerve root)
At the brachial plexus (the neck region)
At the brachial sleeve (the arm)
At the cubital tunnel (the elbow)
Within the forearm muscles
At the Tunnel of Guyon (the wrist)
There are also a few other underlying problems that can trigger “symptoms of an ulnar nerve compression.” Be warned, most of these are probably going to scare you; so seeing a doctor to confirm your specific cause is good prevention of unnecessary panic attacks.
I once had a patient experiencing numbness/pain in the ring and pinky fingers at night. In his case, the cause was a tumor in his spine.
Another young man came in and presented with bilateral (both sides) numbness and pain in his hands/fingers. This is one of the major signs (bilateral symptoms) of spinal cord compression.
The individuals involved in these cases both asked, “Hey, can you just treat it?” Of course, my answer was no. Cases like both of these must be referred out for further evaluation, treatment and care.
It’s sad and scary to hear horror stories like these, but the great news is if they are found early, then they can be corrected to some degree. Ignorance is only bliss for a period of time.
Moral of this story: you should know, with certainty, what is creating your symptoms. If you don’t, the muscles of the hand can end up wasting away, or even worse.
After we’ve screened out all the red flags, I often have my patients start to examine what changes their symptoms. To do this, I’ll have them keep all variables constant and only move ONE body region to a new position and hold it.
From center, does a tilt of the head to the opposite side increase or decrease symptoms?
From center, does dropping the chin to the chest change it?
How about a shoulder shrug?
Do you see what’s going on here? We are localizing the area that has the greatest effect on the hand numbness. Everyone is different, and sometimes it’s not a position change, but rather a “stiffening” of a region. We will get more into stabilization in the eBook.
2. Decrease local irritation
Decreasing irritation of the region of nerve compression can be helpful in decreasing “flare-ups.”
In most cases, people are pretty aware of what activities or motions will trigger their symptoms. I’m never one to encourage a mindset of “avoidance,” but in this case, while we attempt to fully address the reason for the nerve compression, holding off on those activities or motions might be a good idea.
If you’re thinking something along the lines of, “It happens when I drive. How can I not drive?” or some other activity that seems unlikely for you to stop entirely, then a little more effort is going to be necessary from you!
I strongly encourage my patients to break down every activity into its separate movements or components, and to find the EXACT reason for the flare-up. The more time we can get the nerve to “breathe freely”, the less inflammed it will be. It’s not always avoidance of an activity… most of the time it’s a simple modification.

BEST ulnar nerve treatment video. I subscribed.
Thanks
OMG.... BEST video on my condition yet. THANK YOU!!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for these 5 exercises. I've watched many, many videos to find some relief for what I am experiencing, and your videos seem to be a bit different than the others and more helpful to me. I don't really have numbness in my ring finger and pinky however, but my issue has really been pain mainly in the wrist and arm from the entrapment. Once again, thank you.
Take a look at my digital manual then. Full of other unpublic videos and more www.p2sportscare.com/product/fix-hand-numbness/. Glad you liked the video!
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor i had glass cut on my forarm tendon artery and ulnar was cut its been 2 months of surgery is i can do this exercise is it safe
It's aggravating how much most people seem to hyperfocus on the numbness and tingling while completely glossing over the pain and sensitivity going down the arm, which for me has been much more frustrating. It's good to see there's ways to really target the forearm portion of the nerve.
I have massive pain on my left hand on the ring and pinky fingers. I had ulnar surgery last year and the pain still existed. Following this video has helped me greatly. So much less pain.
Can we work with you for it? I bet it goes a lot faster!
I HAD SURGERY SCHEDULED I WOKE UP COULD MOVE IT I CAN FEEL IN MY PALM WHERE NERVE IS TRAPPED
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor I just saw this. I have an OT now, would have loved to had worked with you on it.
glad to hear you really got it covered I have all of the ailments

OMgosh! Now I understand my neck pain as part of my ulnar area as well as hand clumsiness.... Marvelous exercises now before any surgery that might happen to me. A
"Pissed off nerve" reference is nothing I have ever heard, but fits!😂👍

So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Check out the book in the description. Epic
I have tried everything, lately finger that stimulate the brain seemed to work and then not. Yours makes sense. Will see how it works out. Have done all the pressure point stuff which years ago relieved a pinch nerve in my upper scapular right side causing left thumb incapacity, atrophied left bicep upper left scapular pain. The pressure points in the web of the left thumb fixed that something none of the Medical Doctors could do or had a clue about.

Thank you for this detailed video! I’ve just started PT and this was helpful to understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.
Glad it was helpful! Sub and share!! How is PT going so far?
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor Thanks for your reply! PT exercises made the symptoms worse. Now she’s focusing on soft tissue treatment which seems to calm things slightly but the minute I do more exercises, my arm/shoulder flares. It’s been 8 wks and I’m starting to wonder if things are ever going to get better.
Well if you want help you know where to find us
He's correct about the tricep stretch! I've been using this technique even before seeing the video, and it's true, it releases a lot of tension. It's almost like performing a chiropractic adjustment on your elbow, which can feel really good!
Good stuff!
hi from Germany, "melt" is a good word for IT:-) I´m an old yogi and dancing teacher, 66. I sucked your words! this is just the way how I came back to life (also in my dead 4. + 5. finger and inside-hand and powerless 1. + 2. finger, 3. out of motoric control) after awaking 4 weeks ago with heavy ULNAR, I think now it was blocked whereever it´s possible. the doc sad: well, it comes again - it didn´t, so started my own work and found help in the net. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Its empowering to find help on your own!
Your video is awesome!
Glad you think so! You may want to check out the free audio I recorded to give you a better idea of what to do next. Will stretches and exercises work, treatments etc. Good info you will need. www.p2sportscare.com/ulnar-nerve-podcast-opt/

@@Performance-Place-chiropractor
I called and left a message for Dr. Sébastien, local Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, and Physician advised I might need a surgery BUT YOUR VIDEOS CAME TO THE RESCUE, BLESS YOUR HEART🙏👍✅😇❤
Glad you liked the video. Surgery is needed for some people so please don't discount the recommendation of the people who know your situation the best. Talk to your doc!
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor
Understood. I refuse to go under the knife after all, and your videos helped me get rid of the pain associated with trapped nerve. What I'm trying to say is local health care providers couldn't help as much as your videos🙏✅👍✌
Hi John. Loved your message :). Thank you so much. Come see us so we can help you with complete resolution. That video is only a small part of what needs to be done. I even wrote a whole book on this subject www.p2sportscare.com/product/fix-hand-numbness/

Anytime!
Thank you sir .
Most welcome

You're welcome 😊
Thank you, thank you! I was afraid (from past experience with broken neck vertebrae) that I was going to have to have surgery again. Hoping like crazy that it's fixable with these exercises.
Happy healing. Come see us in person so we can decide the best course of action for you

Had surgery @7 years ago.Tommy John Surgery.bone spur removal. Ulner nerve repositioned. Numbness this last year almost always at 3am.I try to use my arm and my hand as much as I can
Why do you think it comes at 3am?
Wow thank you for these great exercises! I can already feel a major difference. How many times a day is it safe to do them ?
How safe they are depends on the type of case and the cause of symptoms. We never give exercises without assessing first so to answer that question we would need to assess you. You’re welcome to set up a consultation. Link in description for video

8/17/2020 - I saw a professional and have been struggling with this for a year now. I work heavily with my hands in construction. The doctor recommended cortisone shots. I've taken two rounds already since last October - second round in May. Both elbows are in a lot of pain and the second round didn't last as long as the first. Should I continue with another round of shots or pursue something else? What are my options?
Sounds like you're saying those have not worked for you right? You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results right?
Why don't you set up a time with us. We are VERY GOOD at this type of thing. Totally worth the money. www.p2sportscare.com/
Okay thank you Rita
Yep!!
I only have a good right arm as my left doesn’t work well. I have this compression super bad and the numbness is severe, constant and HURTS in my elbow mostly. Still struggling every day with this!
I'm not sure what I've done to cause it but randomly a couple weeks ago I got really sharp and sudden nerve pain in my forearm. It radiates to my fingers. Sometimes its in the front. Sometimes in the back. Its random but many times a day. When it happens I lose total control of my hand. No numbness and tingling. Is this common with a compressed ulnar nerve?
We’d like to help but we need more information. You may need to see a clinician for an exam due to the loss of control. Your condition sounds a bit more complex than most people. You should just contact us. We are offering free 10 min Zoom calls with our interns for this month. Take advantage. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form-youtube/ Just reference this conversation.
These are excellent
I have numbness in my hands and do Chiro and neck stretches it these are even better
Nice!
Dear Doctor, I don't have any nerve problem, but watched your video start to finish just because you explain it so powerfully. Thank you.
So nice of you. Thank you
If you’re low on B12, that can cause numbness and tingling (pins and needles) in the hands and feet too. Just ask your family doctor to get your blood tested. I did. Now I take B12 supplements and it’s helping.
Also tight clothes are no good for this and other health reasons.
thanks for sharing!
hi doctor!!! i have a question...the guide is also for pinky and ring finger pain? i have syntomps of pain insted of numbness...
The guide is for ring and pinky problems of all types
Sadly I think I've waited too long to address this issue. I had a nerve test done some 5 years ago and recently (past 6 months) it seems to be deteriorating. Is it too late for me to use the book or should I consider surgery? Probably you can't make that call without seeing me and running some tests. I use to live in Orange County but now I'm in Monterey County...any advice...I'm 61 and still very active, beach volleyball, biking and some light weight lifting. Thanks!
Hey Scott, give us a call. We dont need any special expensive tests to figure out what we can safely have you do at home for things like this. Extra tests are extra info that we normally will request if someone is NOT getting better with what we suggest. Message us and our interns can help figure out if we can help in any way. The call is free. It's not a consult... it's investigative if you should see us or not. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form-youtube/ Just reference this conversation.
Thanks I really hope this helps. I used to be a right handed watchmaker. Now I even write with my left hand. This all started about 10 years ago. Doctors don't know what's the problem. I would really like to repair waches again, but my condition is slowly going from bad to worse.

Hi 12 days ago i slammed the soft area between the elbow and funny bone into the corner of a wood frame - after excruciating pain for the first 10min and feeling like I was on the verge of vomiting , the numbness and electricity died down in my arm and it felt somewhat back to normal - I’ve been keeping a log since then of activities that seem to cause pain/discomfort and for the most part I’m able to do everything normally even work out with weights - but I noticed with prolonged guitar playing (having my arm bent for long periods of time) seems to activate a pain in the area of my injury - on the 11th day after my injury I tried to do gentle nerve flossing exercises for the ulnar nerve and noticed that when I went to the “salute position” there was a tightness and I couldn’t reach to my forehead - that very night my elbow area was tender and just laying down brought pain in the area - (it seemed to get worse after the nerve flossing exercises) I was wondering who I should see for this issue - any medical advice would be greatly appreciated thank you

Hi i dont feel my 4 fingers in left hand more than week what can I do?
You need to talk to a doc then
love it
thanks
I hit my “funny bone” ulnar nerve pretty hard 2 1/2 weeks ago against an edge. A perfect hit and very hard. Pinky and ring finger were tingling and numb for about 15-20s. It resided and went to normal. Next day with just a dull ache where I hit the nerve and very minimal discomfort sensations in hand. No pain, tingling, or numbness though. The nerve now still feels a bit swollen still, slightly tender.
If I perform the waiter nerve glide, as I flex my elbow fully with hand extended I’ll feel the nerve slide over my medial epicondyle, and as I go back to extend my elbow it pops back. No pain with this. Normal elbow bending doesn’t cause this pop, But I realize it’s definitely an issue and only happens with the waiter stretch.
My question Is, is it possible I just bruised the nerve/area and it’s swollen? Also is it also possible to fix this possible subluxation issue with alternate exercises, nerve stretches, etc.?
I perform a lot of Bodyweight work (push ups, pull ups, etc.) there’s no pain when I do them, but I don’t want to make an issue worse so I cut them out and stick to more straight arm work (handstands, front lever, l sits, etc.) in the meantime
Any response is appreciated thanks!
Hello. It’s possible to injury a nerve to compression. You would have to speak with your doctor in person about timelines, treatment and so on. We don’t see people with trauma.
As for subluxation of nerves, I see people who have this on both elbows from time to time… one is painful the other isn’t. Hope that helps some. Happy healing.
If the numbness is in the middle portion of my index finger what is the best exercises to reduce or deplete numbness completely ? Finger tip is fine just anything from below to before my knuckle is what is numb and tingling. Please let me know
Btw It happened by a deep cut in my palm between index and thumb and cut an artery, not sure if that helps. I just want to know if I'll get back all strength in my hands and lose tingling numbness
I think to know what the best exercise is we should watch you do some movements and I will need to ask you some questions. If you want to do that, we are offering 10 min free Zooms for this week only to chat about it. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form/ Spots are limited
Can you tell me what would cause my entire rib cage to feel achy off and on? I have bulged cervical discs that no longer hurt but my rib cage still aches off and on. My PT has no answer for me.

For the past 2 mths. My 2 baby fingers on my right hand are numb. My doctor knows about it & was gonna give me a cortisone shot. But said keep ice on nerve by my elbow & Voltaren. But I still have it
why do you think it is not working?
I had performed a few basic ulnar exercises last night, as my problems have heightened to the point I had to try to find some relief. I was sure to be very gentle in doing so & only performed a few. I really wish I had found your content first though as, when i woke up today, my ring finger, left hand is really quite swollen & sore, Im also in much more discomfort throughout the entire length of the nerve at the sites that you covered than I was before, should I be concerned?! Im aware inflammation is the bodys first defence, but I am now more than a little apprehensive about reengaging it so as not to irritate it further 😕

My nerve has been entrapped for 1 week. How long should I wait to see an orthopedist? I’m doing exercises and ibuprofen.
You should be examined by a qualified medical professional as soon as possible.
I took the numbness seriously and even went to the ER. Twice. They did nothing for me and told me there was no neurological reason for the numbness. My pinky finger has now been numb for over 2 years.
We would like to help if you’re open to it
After months of having sudden odd nerve sensory issues, I finally was able to figure out that I have an issue with my ulnar nerve, but in the brachial plexus area. I got some odd tingling and numbness sensations in my right shoulder blade area that became fully numb after some regular exercising, but then has slowly gotten a bit better. I finally did a pushup recently and each time I did one I felt a sudden nerve pain in my elbow and it's in the ulnar nerve area. After searching up brachial plexus and ulnar nerve flossing I've noticed that's when I start feeling all the sudden tingling sensations again. This suddenly happened to me after some abuse in my family then the next day I attempted a "reverse" pullup, where I was held up to grab the bar and then let go to slowly descend down. Not sure which caused my issue, but it definitely started suddenly after something that happened here. Hope I can fix it.. I have an appointment coming up soon
Thanks for sharing Sapphire. Sadly your story is not uncommon. The great news is that most people can get better within a month or so if they pick the right type of care. If you want any help with it just reach out via the link in the description

I think it comes from my Multiple sclerosis. When I sleep, often I lose all sensation in the entire arm (the whole arm goes numb) and sometimes it wakes me up. But there was a morning it was unlike the others. Numbness and weird (as if my fingers were put in the snow for a long time) sensation remained in my right little and ring fingers. The day after I also had this sensation in the left hand. And now it's been a week. I am scared it doesn't go away. Even with the exercices. Is it a multiple sclerosis relapse? Please if someone can help me. Thank you
Sorry to hear that. We don’t specialize in MS so we would not have any advice.

Hi John. Would you like our help with your recovery?
Haven’t found anything on the internet about this going away. I’m terrified.
It goes away. We have tons of clients who have gotten rid of it. Contact us if you want some direction. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form/
Odd. it did not come through yet. Try sending it to info@p2sportscare.com. Its best if you do not discuss your things in full detail on TH-cam
Same i feel depressed
I got mine by reaching behind me operating a high reach lift for a month. It’s bugging me so bad now.
Come see us! We can help
What about the ulnar nerve going over the bone by the elbow.
What would you like to know about that?
I ORDERED AND PAID FOR THE ULNAR BOOK AND STILL HAVE NOT REC'D IT
Mike, sorry for this inconvenience. We've emailed you twice with instructions on how to access it. Just go to www.p2sportscare.com/my-account and reset your password, then when you log back in, go to My Account > Downloads and you will see the guide.
This choke hold aggravates several points along the pathway. No go.
You need more specific help I think
When doing the flossing type exercises, if the sensation in the fingers goes from numbness to being able to feel the nerve move - so not pain but having an actual flossing sensation -- is that a good sign or a sign to back off?
Id have to evaluate you to see to be honest. I need much more info. You are welcome to contact us. Info@p2sportscare.com Lets set up an appointment
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor Thank you for replying!
Yep. Looking forward to working with you
I wish I could do all of these exercises so the numbness and tingling of my pinky/ring fingers would subside. I had 2 right shoulder replacements (hemi in 10/21 which failed and then total reverse in 4/22 which went well and recovering well but it was from necrosis after 3 part fracture of humerus) and so my shoulder/arm movements are restricted to a certain degree. Going for EMG and consulting now with my orthopedic surgeon. It’s literally a pain LOL. To top it off, due to 2 years over use of left arm, have massive pain from tennis elbow that just won’t heal. (6 months now), PT did nothing. I literally am like a T-Rex with the 2 little useless arms. Ugh.
Oh no!! Im sorry to hear that.
I have ulnar nerve compression but my pinky actually has an extremely sharp pain at the tip of it (no numbness). Should I be doing something differently or will these arm exercises help with it? Thank you!
We would love to help! But we would need a lot more information to give you good suggestions. We help people with this all the time with great success. Message privately us if you want to talk more about it. If you are under 18 years old, speak with your parents and have them contact us. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form-youtube/ Just reference this conversation. You may need to come see us in person to address this properly
OMG-I have the exact sharp pain right at the tip of my pinky finger. What did you end of doing and did you get relief?
@@debbiemoore3656 hello. Surprisingly the pinky pain was actually caused by shingles (even though I’m younger and even though I do have ulnar nerve compression). But I also ended up developing some other shingles symptoms too. I think the stress from the ulnar pain is what caused me to develop shingles. I went on shingles medication and it fixed my pinky pain. In terms of my pain of the ulnar nerve compression, I still get irritation but pretty manageable. What I did to feel better was keep my arm as straight any chance I get and for as long as possible. I made sure not to sleep on my arm and there were times where I would where an elbow brace backwards while sleeping. But some nights it actually made things worse. Please let me know if I can be of any other help or if you have any other questions.
@@WavyFBaby Holy cow- that never crossed my mind! I’m going to check that one out! Thank you so much for your reply. I’m glad you are doing better and thanks for the tips.
@@debbiemoore3656 no problem! Good luck with everything and please keep me updated; I’d love to hear the outcome.
Crummy week of sleep. Ulnar wakes me up every few hours. Like a large vehicle is parked on my palm. Was cutting firewood, Axe went past the log twice and banged the fiber glass handle full force on the log. Funny that it doesn't bother me all day.
Ya funny thing is bothers most people only at night
I am getting better already
Nice! Also if you are having pinky and ring finger issues, you may want to check out the free audio I recorded to give you a better idea of what to do next. Will stretches and exercises work, treatments etc. Good info you will need. www.p2sportscare.com/ulnar-nerve-podcast-opt/
How often should we do these to see benefit? I have struggled since 2016 with these and have not found relief
The exercises we show in this video are not usually used for more than 10 days. Performing them comes with risk and has a cost. If you have been dealing with this for 6 years I’d suggest allowing us to tailor some exercises that are specific to the reason why you are still have this after 6 years. Honestly I won’t not do these exercises until you have a movement assessment. We can do this for you. It gives us the information we need to suggest the correct intervention so you don’t wait more time. Here is the link p2sportscare.janeapp.com/#staff_member/1 get the Discovery Session. It is our form of a consultation. We have a virtual option as well. Looking forward to helping you out!!
Thank you! I didn’t see any cost for sessions but was prompted to put credit card info in without that knowledge. I think there should be prices listed so the patient is aware. I live out of state so I doubt insurance covers this. What is the cost of an out of state visit?
Call our office for all of those details. 714-502-4243. The Discovery session is $29 US. All of the info comes via email after the booking.
what about ice or heat?
We don’t often use that with our people
My problem is not so much numbness in the hand (only when I REALLY stretch it out it feels numb). My problem loud and uncomfortable snapping of the elbows when doing exercise. I have completely stopped doing push-ups because of this. :(
Hey Ricardo, believe it or not this is pretty simple to get rid of. We have countless reviews that confirm it. Why don't you look at our online book as an option www.p2sportscare.com/product/fix-hand-numbness/ or just let us work with you directly. We had someone recently who was able to do push ups again within less than 3 weeks using our 5 step method. Info@p2sportscare.com
Bruh I was using cologne and I had my wrist pointed at me, I pressed on the cap and I felt an adjustment in my wrist. My pinky is numb now.
Bruh. That's not good
Performance Place Sports Care & Chiropractic I did some stretches and it went away today thankfully lol.

Your video's are very helpful.
Thank you.
Thanks!!
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor i have subscribed, i can't seem to find the videos
Can an mri show ulnar nerve problems
A good examine by someone who knows how to examine is all most people need. MRIs dont show all reasons for pain
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor I’d like to ask another question. I have been having distal bicep pain and ulnar nerve pain. My surgeon told me she thought the distal bicep pain was coming from my neck. I had a cervical spine mri and i have bulging discs, arthritis and bone spurs and narrowing in c5 and c6. So, my question is from what I have read and watched, the c8 affects the ulnar nerve. My c8 is fine. So, if my c8 is fine, would that rule out that the neck is affecting the ulnar nerve?
Nerve roots like c8 combine to form more than just the ulnar nerve. it is a part if the medial and radial. The body is pretty complex and some people's symptoms are not the same as others with the same pathology. Sounds like your surgeon is on to something. How to solve the issue (with or without surgery) would be the next question. We see people with nerve conditions often and with the right style of care most of them get better without invasive procedures. Contact us if you'd like.
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I’m just nervous that it could be my neck. I don’t want any kind of neck surgery. She is talking about an e m g/nerve conduction study
Yes it can be frightening but there is a public misconception that is the neck is involved it requires surgery. The neck is like any other part of the body that simply requires a specific rehabilitation and treatment approach. Surgery is rarely required but time is of the essence. Info@p2sportscare.com
Thanks for video. I wish you were in Atlanta. I’d see you ASAP. I have it in elbow no pain or numbness in fingers just elbow tightness
I don't know if I say it in the video but I have a whole manual I wrote on this that has more videos that I have not made public. www.p2sportscare.com/product/fix-hand-numbness/
