Electric Shocks & Tingling: Is It Nerve Irritation?

Introduction


Those sudden shooting pains, tingling or electric-shock like sensations in your limbs can be alarming. At Studio On (Phnom Penh & online globally) we’ve found these symptoms often point to nerve irritation—and that means there is a pathway toward recovery.


What causes these sensations?


Typically, the culprit is a spinal disc problem. When a disc bulges or becomes inflamed, it can press on nerve roots, triggering electric-like discharges along the nerve pathway. These sensations may reach down your arm or leg, depending on which nerve is affected.


At our clinic and online platform, we focus on identifying the root cause—disc, nerve, movement patterns—and tailor rehab accordingly.



Inflammation: a healing process, not just pain


Inflammation is your body’s way of repairing damaged tissue. While it creates discomfort, it’s often temporary. As the inflammation reduces, the nerve irritation eases, and symptoms decrease. Early physiotherapy intervention can accelerate this healing phase and reduce the duration of symptoms.


Nerve irritation isn’t only disc-related


Disc issues are common, but nerve irritation can also come from other sources: tight muscles, repetitive strain, prolonged poor posture, or even stress-related muscle tension. That means our treatment covers more than “just discs”—we address the movement system, nerve mobility, posture and daily habits.


How we approach it at Studio On


Here’s our pathway:

  1. Assessment: In-clinic or online video, we examine your symptoms, movement and nerve behaviour.

  2. Education: You learn why your nerve acts this way, what factors worsen it, and what helps it.

  3. Intervention: A combo of manual techniques (if in-clinic or directed online), targeted exercises to reduce nerve irritation, and gradual load increase to build resilience.

  4. Return to function: Whether it’s walking, lifting, work or sport, we guide you safely back.
