How Can a Chiropractor Help With a Pinched Nerve?
A pinch on the arm may sound like no big deal, but a pinched nerve can become more painful if left untreated. Chiropractic care can treat the underlying cause of a pinched nerve and help you learn how to prevent this issue in the future. You can schedule a visit with our Saint Clair chiropractor for pinched nerve treatment to help you find relief from your pain without the need for medication or surgery.
Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve is a nerve that is under pressure or that is being compressed, resulting in a variety of symptoms. These can include:
- Pain in the lower back
- Pain the neck
- Pain traveling up and down the spine
- Headaches and/or migraines
- Tingling, burning, or numbness in the arms or legs
- Muscle weakness
Pinched nerves can occur anywhere throughout the body and tend to be more common in women, and people who have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or thyroid disease. Along with these risk factors and conditions, nerves can be pinched due to injuries, obesity, repetitive movements, and sports.
Chiropractic Care for a Pinched Nerve
Since chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and the rest of the body, it offers many treatment options that can help with nerve problems. Our chiropractor can provide you with non-invasive treatment options for your pinched nerve. Instead of relying on medication that temporarily stops the pain, chiropractic care focuses on finding and treating the underlying cause of the pain. Spinal adjustments can restore alignment, moving the muscle, joint, or bone that is pinching the nerve back into place to provide pain relief. Our chiropractor can also teach you stretches and exercises to help you prevent pinching a nerve in the future.
