Abbey Lane Chiropractic ClinicTreatment for Pinched Nerve Pain

According to chiropractic care, a pinched nerve is the result of a misalignment of the spine that creates nerve irritation causing severe soreness and pain in the back and neck. When the surrounding tissues of a nerve that include bones, cartilage, muscles and tendons are subject to extra pressure, the nerve’s natural function is disrupted causing acute and chronic pain. Chiropractic care offers relief for persistent numbness, tingling and burning sensations in the back, arms, shoulders, feet, hands or legs. A qualified Abbey Lane Chiropractic Clinic chiropractor will design effective treatment plans for pinched nerves that provide significant pain relief and help to prevent long term damage.

Causes of Pinched Nerves

In addition to traumatic injury, pinched nerves may be caused by repetitive motions, sudden twists or turns or by remaining in a stationary position for an extended period of time. Other signs of a pinched nerve include numbness and loss of sensation in the area of an affected nerve, burning or aching that cannot be ignored and a sensation often termed as a “pins and needles’ in your foot, commonly referred to as a foot that has, “fallen asleep”. In advanced and severe cases, pinched nerve problems may result in acute muscle weakness due to excessive nerve irritation and if not identified and treated promptly can result in a decrease of muscle size and function. Early diagnosis and chiropractic treatment are recommended to avoid permanent injury.

Consult With a Abbey Lane Chiropractic Clinic Chiropractor for a Pinched Nerve Problem When:

  • You are having difficulty looking over your shoulder (when backing up in your vehicle for example) and your range of motion has been noticeably reduced.
  • Tilting your head back or raising your arms causes pain when you pull your clothes over your head.
  • You must turn your whole body around rather than just your head to look behind you.

Problems With the Sciatic Nerve

Sciatic nerve pain, also known as sciatica is recognized as pain that travels from the lower back down to the leg. Responsible for the transmission of discomfort rom the lumbar area of the lower back to the lower extremities, sciatic nerve pain can radiate to the hip and buttock and may intensify by merely coughing, sneezing or even simply sitting for short periods of time.
