A few moments ago, I met with some of the leading business executives in the country. And it was a sober meeting, because these companies and the workers they employ are going through times more trying than any that we've seen in a long, long while.
There's no compelling evidence that a pinched nerve is more likely to affect athletes in one sport more than in another. However, because the condition often involves overuse and repetitive movements, racquet sports, track and field, gymnastics, and weight lifting are activities that set the stage for pinched nerves.
Although this condition is often associated with back pain or a neck injury, almost any nerve is susceptible. Anything which increases pressure around a nerve can cause a pinched nerve. Common causes include body position such as leaning on elbows, habitually crossing legs, or poor posture. Over time this may lead to pressure injury to nerves in these regions. 1  Disc herniation or bulging discs and arthritis in the spine can cause pressure on nerve roots which leads to the pain or discomfort associated with a pinched nerve.
