What Is a Pinched Nerve?

Pinched nerves are exactly what they sound like. Nerves become too compressed by pressure from surrounding bones, muscles, or cartilage, leading to painful symptoms. Pinched nerves can happen in your lower, middle, or upper back, arms and elbows, or hands and wrists. Some of the most common causes of pinched nerves include:

  • Muscle inflammation causing the muscles to compress the nerves
  • Injuries at work or due to an accident
  • Overuse and repeated stress
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Obesity
  • Herniated or slipped discs

Pinched nerves can be accompanied by several different symptoms, including:

  • Pain
  • Tingling
  • Numbness
  • Muscle weakness
  • Pins and needles sensation
  • Muscle twitches and spasms

Chiropractors Can Help

Our chiropractor will determine if your pain, numbness, and tingling are due to a pinched nerve. Through a comprehensive physical exam and medical history, we can determine the cause of your pinched nerve, and what treatment will be appropriate for you. Some of the treatments for pinched nerves may include:

  • Gentle muscle stretches to stop your spasms and encourage more flexibility
  • Massage therapy to reduce inflammation compressing the nerves
  • Spinal decompression therapy to take pressure off of bulging discs that are pressing on the nerves
  • Chiropractic manipulation and adjustments to correct misalignments or pinched nerves such as in cases of sciatica
  • Lifestyle recommendations, such as incorporating flexibility exercises and correcting your posture to prevent pinched nerves from recurring
