What Are Pinched Nerves?
Pinched nerves are exactly what they sound like, which are nerves that have become pinched and have undergone some sort of trauma. There are many causes for pinched nerves, which can be as simple as twisting wrong, or as complicated as a medical condition known as spinal stenosis squeezing the nerves in the spinal canal.
Many pinched nerves are also the result of movements we don’t know are bad for us. For instance, in carpal tunnel syndrome, laying your wrist on a hard surface for hours on end can pinch the median nerve and lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Another example of pinched nerves is sciatica, which occurs due to the compression of the sciatic nerve running down the legs.
Chiropractors Can Help
Pinched nerves bring with them a host of symptoms, including sharp pain, weakness, tingling, numbness, and even a feeling of pins and needles in the extremities. Our chiropractor will determine the root cause of these symptoms and then provide treatment. This may include spinal decompression using the Triton DTS to help alleviate pinched nerves from disc disorders or sciatica, chiropractic adjustments to help realign your spine and improve mobility, Class 4 laser therapy to reduce inflammation around affected nerves, shockwave therapy to promote tissue healing, and acupuncture to support natural pain relief. Best of all, chiropractic care does not rely on pain medication or invasive procedures like surgery to produce results.
