Pinched Nerve: Causes, Symptoms, and Chiropractic Treatment
How chiropractic care can relieve the pain and discomfort of compressed nerves
A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues such as bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons apply excessive pressure to a nerve. This compression disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness.
Common Symptoms
Signs you may have a pinched nerve:
- Sharp, aching, or burning pain
- Tingling or 'pins and needles' sensation
- Numbness or decreased sensation
- Muscle weakness in the affected area
- Sensation that a hand or foot has 'fallen asleep'
Where Pinched Nerves Occur
Pinched nerves can occur throughout the body but are most common in the neck (causing pain that radiates to the arm), lower back (causing sciatica), and wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome).
Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractic care is highly effective for treating pinched nerves. By restoring proper spinal alignment and reducing pressure on affected nerves, chiropractors can provide significant relief without surgery or medication.
