How Chiropractors Relieve Pain from a Pinched Nerve
The pain and discomfort caused by a pinched nerve can prevent you from working, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. A pinched nerve can also be a symptom of a more serious health problem, like a herniated disc. Our chiropractors in Rochester can identify the root cause of your pinched nerve, and provide safe, effective chiropractic pinched nerve treatment that will get you back on your feet.
What is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve can occur when too much pressure is put on a nerve by the surrounding bones, cartilage, muscles, discs, or tendons. This type of nerve pressure can cause symptoms like pain, a tingling or ‘pins and needles’ sensation, numbness, and muscle weakness. Pinched nerves can occur in the neck, lower spine, wrist, or elsewhere throughout the body. The most common causes of pinched nerves are injury, trauma, disc herniation, arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, and obesity.
When to Visit Our Chiropractors for Pinched Nerve Treatment
You should visit one of our chiropractors for diagnosis and pinched nerve treatment if your symptoms don’t go away within a few days, are worsening, or are preventing you from participating in your normal daily activities. If your symptoms are keeping you from sleeping, exercising, working, taking part in hobbies, or spending time with family and friends, our chiropractors can help you get back to normal.
How Our Chiropractors Treat Pinched Nerves
The treatment our chiropractors provide will depend upon the underlying cause of your pinched nerve, your overall health, and any other health conditions you have. If you’re a good candidate for spinal decompression therapy, our chiropractors may recommend you start with that. During spinal decompression therapy, you lie fully clothed on a comfortable motorized traction table. One of our chiropractors controls the movement of the table using a computer, and the table gently and slowly stretches your spine. This can make herniated discs retract back into place, removing the pressure on your sciatic nerve. Other chiropractic treatments for a pinched nerve include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and Reiki.
