Pinched Nerve

Relief From Nerve Compression

A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissue presses on a nerve, triggering radiating pain, numbness, or tingling that can make everyday movement uncomfortable. Our experienced team takes a gentle, whole-person approach to ease that pressure and address what's causing it, so you can move and feel like yourself again.

When Pain Radiates Beyond the Spine

Pain doesn't always stay in one place. A problem in the spine can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels into other parts of the body.

For example, low back pain may radiate down into the lower body - commonly known as sciatica - reaching the:

  • Buttock
  • Hip
  • Thigh
  • Leg
  • Foot

Likewise, neck problems can cause pain, numbness, or tingling that extends into the:

  • Shoulder
  • Arm
  • Hand
  • Fingers

These symptoms may relate to a number of underlying conditions affecting the nerves or musculoskeletal system, including:

  • A pinched nerve
  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Spinal disc injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Other conditions affecting the nerves or musculoskeletal system

Radiating pain often occurs when a spinal nerve becomes irritated or compressed. A thorough chiropractic examination can help identify the source and determine whether conservative care, additional testing, or referral is the most appropriate next step.

Common Questions

What is a pinched nerve?

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissue, such as a herniated disc, bone spur, or tight muscle, puts pressure on a nerve. It often shows up as radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, and is most common in the lower back, where it can cause sciatica, or in the neck.

Can chiropractic care help a pinched nerve?

Yes. Chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive way to relieve the pressure causing your symptoms. Through precise adjustments, decompression techniques, and therapeutic exercises, we work to free the nerve and address the root cause rather than simply masking the pain.

How long until I feel relief?

It varies from person to person. Some patients notice relief after their first few visits, while longer-standing compression may take a series of treatments. After your evaluation, we'll create a personalized plan with clear, realistic timelines for your recovery.
