Common Causes of Pinched Nerves

At Back on Track Chiropractic, there are a few common reasons why someone might come to see us with a pinched nerve. These injuries can develop from a sports injury, a car accident, and can even occur at work. A pinched nerve is ultimately caused by compression impinging the nerve anywhere along its roots. This might take place in the back as a nerve leaves the spinal cord. This might also take place at the final destination in the arm or leg. Regardless, a pinched nerve can lead to a variety of symptoms.

The Symptoms of Pinched Nerves

There are a few tell-tale symptoms of pinched nerves. Many patients end up complaining of numbness and tingling in the area innervated by a pinched nerve. Some patients might also feel pain, weakness, or burning sensations. This pain might get worse when the nerve is used. Fortunately, at Back on Track Chiropractic, we have a number of treatment options for pinched nerves at our disposal.

How a Chiropractor can Treat a Pinched Nerve

If someone comes to see us at Back on Track Chiropractic, our first job is to figure out where the damaged nerve is located. Then, we will figure out why the nerve has been compressed. We can use decompression, traction, manipulation, and physical therapy to free the nerve from its entrapment. This can help someone recover from a pinched nerve without ever having to go to the operating room.
