Pinched Nerve symptoms and Causes
A Pinched nerve (nerve compression) is a sign of too much pressure being applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues. This compression hinders the nerve’s function and can cause numbness, pain and tingling sensation.
Nerve compression can be caused by for example, a herniated disk in your lower spine causing pain that extends through the buttocks to the leg.
Most of the time pinched nerves go away on their own and there’s usually no permanent damage.
But if the symptoms persist and nothing is done, then permanent nerve damage can occur. It is best to seek the advice of a physician for extreme symptoms.

ERGO21 COLLECTION
Engineered for Comfort – Better than Gel Seat Cushions, Foam and Air Cushions!
LiquiCell keeps on working long after the point where Gel, Foam or Air technologies stop
Our skin is an amazing protection system for our body. It moves and stretches in all directions like Spandex. Our skin stretches to help us sit down and it stretches even more when we make contact with the chair because it is being compressed between our bones and seat. Within the layers of our skin that we are stretching are blood capillaries or vessels.
Our blood flow that is carrying the oxygen and nutrients is restricted. This slowly kills cells and signals are sent to our brain to shift or move, to give the skin a time to recover. So our skin protects us and now we can protect our skin with LiquiCell.
LiquiCell is a medical technology that protects the skin from being stretched and torn, thereby optimizing blood flow. These ultra-thin cells contain a liquid that is in constant motion allowing the body to glide or float. What this means is a greater long term comfort with less body ache and fatigue. It is also an aid for preventing pressure ulcers for people confined to chairs or beds.
5.0 out of 5 starsFinally a seat cushion that WORKS
After buying and returning over half a dozen seat cushions, this one actually WORKS. No hip pain, no leg pain, no back pain. Just pure comfort while driving now. How the heck did I not come across this sooner?
A+ and major kudos to whoever designed this cushion – finally someone knows what they are doing when it comes to seat cushions. If only the car companies listened to customers like this companies does.
LiquiCell to the aid of:
Pinched Nerve, Sciatica, Degenerated and compressed discs
Pinched nerve is the result of too much pressure applied to a nerve by the surrounding tissues. Sitting on LiquiCell Membranes reduces vertical pressure at the point of contact between the skin and the surface. This has numerous benefits that can bring relief to pinched nerve sufferers.
Most of the pain arises when one is trying to avoid the pressure points and shifts to one side or the other. This shift even in small amounts misaligns the spine, hips, discs and neck resulting in muscle tension and pressure and discomfort not only at the point around the pinched nerve but at all these places.
Sitting on the LiquiCell membranes neutralizes the vertical pressure so that the alignment is proper. This puts the least amount of pressure on the nerve and the affected surrounding tissues. Many have told us that they can sit longer. We still recommend that you get up every 20 minutes or half an hour and do some light stretching to prevent extra tension from building up.

Ergo21 Large Lumbar – Good for cars, mobility scooters, recliners. Most of these seats have some kind of Lumbar curve. Ergo21 Large lumbar provides relief without the added hump/Bump. Can be used with our Ergo21 Roll on situations where extra curve is needed like a sofa or chair with no curve.
Ergo21 Small Lumbar – Works well with low back chairs and wheelchairs.
Ergo21 Lumbar Roll – Fits in the small or middle of the back on seats like an office chair where the roll keeps one sitting straight with no pressure points
Suggestions – We recommend that you get a few different models to use it around the home, office etc.
Example: Ergo21 Travel cushion is a very versatile cushion and can be used in many seating situations. You can add at least one from the Ergo21 Sports or the Ergo21 Coccyx models. And, finally get at least two of the Lumbar Cushions. The Large Lumbar and the Roll or the Small Lumbar and the Roll. This way you will have different options for different needs based on the chair, car etc.
What Customers Are Saying…
“I really like the lumbar cushion in the car. I feel like it helps prevent me from rolling my shoulders forward because I have something to push my shoulders into. I have always thought car seats are not designed very well, and kind of encourage you to have bad posture. I feel like the lumbar cushion helps get me in that neutral position.”

Other Solutions:
Conclusion:
There are many ways in addition to our Ergo21 Cushions that one can relieve pain of a pinched nerve:
- Proper Sleep and rest
Good sleep aids and repairs the body getting a good night’s sleep may help reduce the damage
- Proper Posture
Make sure to maintain proper posture at the computer desk. Get a stand for the Laptop so the screen is at eye level. Take many breaks, especially when you feel tenseness at any part or joints.
- Stretching and Yoga,
Enough cannot be said of the rejuvenating benefits of Yoga, stretching and breathing. A simple breathing technique is just say these lines and notice the difference: Calming the whole body I breathe in….Calming the whole body I breathe out. Do this as many times it takes to get the oxygen flowing to the nerve and joints.
There are other things that one can research like Exercises for pinched nerve, icepacks, splints, some form of medication. Regular massages. A good technique is the Yoga Corpse pose. Just look on You Tube and select the one that suits you. The corpse pose helps for nutrients to flow freely throughout the body for faster healing.
My diagnoses are degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, degenerative scoliosis, arachnoiditis, scoliosis. I have had 2 knee surgeries, 1 total hip replacement, 5 back surgeries, 1 total reverse shoulder replacement and 1 major neck surgery which left me paralyzed for 2 weeks from being 1 year. The most pain I am experiencing is stemming from the spinal stenosis which is concave. The pain is unbearable at times. From my waist down I’m experiencing horrible pain that radiates down my legs and my feet. I am in bed more than not because sitting is very difficult. What one of your gel infused ergo21 cushions will help me to be more mobile. To sit with my family and eat with them, watch a movie with them or travel without experiencing horrific pain and paying the price for weeks. I appreciate your help regarding this matter and thank you for your assistance.
