Can a Chiropractor Help Your Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve refers to the stretching, compression or constriction of a nerve or set of nerves in the body. Pinched nerves often occur next to the spine as a result of a bulging disc, herniated disc or subluxation. However, pinched nerves can occur anywhere in the body.

Pinched nerves can cause a number of different sensations, including pain, a burning sensation, numbness or a “pins and needles” feeling. In some cases, a pinched nerve can resolve on its own, but in many cases, a chiropractic intervention can provide much more rapid relief.
 

What Are the Symptoms?

Your Birmingham chiropractor is here to assist you in finding efficient and effective pain relief from the resolution of a pinched nerve. In most cases, a pinched nerve is an underlying issue of presenting pain and other conditions in the body. Some of the symptoms of a pinched nerve include: 

• Back Pain
• Neck Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Headaches
• Radiating Leg or Arm Pain
• Numbness or Pins and Needles Sensation
• Limited Range of Motion
• Difficulty in Sleeping Comfortably
• Trouble Sitting for Long Periods

Relief From a Pinched Nerve From Your Birmingham Chiropractor

If you have any of these symptoms or conditions and they do not seem to be resolving on their own, contact your Birmingham chiropractor Back on Track Chiropractic. After a comprehensive consultation, health history and exam, your chiropractor will be able to tell you if there is a nerve disturbance at play. The underlying cause of your discomfort will be determined so that appropriate steps can be taken for pain relief and the resolution of the issue.

An appropriate treatment plan will be created and implemented to assist you in finding the relief you are seeking from the pinched nerve(s). The goal is to treat and relieve it at its source so that you can be more comfortable going forward. Chiropractic care helps to relieve pressure on spinal nerves and extremity nerves. Your Birmingham chiropractor may also prescribe additional modalities and exercises to complement chiropractic care and facilitate deeper, more efficient healing.
