What Are Pinched Nerves?

The nerves running throughout your body fulfill essential roles. To function properly, they must remain unimpeded and free from damage. Unfortunately, various issues that develop along your musculoskeletal system can put pressure on nerves, interfering with their function.

A pinched nerve is often the result of a herniated disc or bone spur compressing one of your nerve roots near where it emerges from the spinal cord, although it could also be due to a swollen muscle or narrowing of a passageway through an extremity.

Regardless of what is pinching your nerve, the effects of that injury can be quite troublesome. Chief among the ill effects of a pinched nerve is chronic pain. The pain may originate in one part of your body and travel along the affected nerve’s pathway. The burning pain associated with a pinched nerve may also intensify if you move the wrong way.

Muscle weakness is another symptom of a pinched nerve. The muscles controlled by the affected nerve may not function normally. Your ability to move around and grip objects may be adversely affected as a result.

Numbness and tingling sensations are also symptoms of pinched nerves. The numbness and tingling sensations may be easy to deal with at first. Unsurprisingly, they can cause more issues the longer they persist.

The symptoms of a pinched nerve may even make their presence felt while you’re resting. It’s best to address your pinched nerves as soon as possible because they can significantly compromise your quality of life.

How Do Chiropractors Treat Pinched Nerves?

Arranging an appointment with a chiropractor should be your priority if you suspect that you have a pinched nerve. There’s no benefit in letting yourself experience more pain.

Chiropractors can treat pinched nerves by realigning the musculoskeletal system. During the diagnostic phase, your chiropractor can check if a herniated disc or bone spur is responsible for your injury. After identifying the misplaced tissue, they can adjust its positioning so it won’t affect the damaged nerve any further. We also offer acupuncture and Graston technique therapy to reduce soft tissue inflamation.

Conventional treatments for pinched nerves may not do anything about the alignment of your herniated discs or bone spurs. Because of that inadequate approach, your symptoms may resurface not long after treatment. Chiropractic adjustments are superior options that deliver lasting results.
