Chiropractic Pinched Nerve Treatment

Natural Relief Without Surgery or Drugs

A pinched nerve can cause tingling, numbness, or burning pain that’s truly debilitating. Chiropractic treatment has proven effective for addressing pinched nerves without harmful medication or invasive surgeries.

Chiropractic adjustments are among the most effective remedies for pinched nerves because they address pain at its source. The adjustment restores proper position and alignment, relieving pressure on the nerve.

You don’t need medications or surgery in most cases. Rather, you need a solution that resolves the underlying cause of your pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can chiropractic treatment help my pinched nerve?

Many people feel almost immediate relief from symptoms after a chiropractic adjustment. Our treatment addresses the problem at its cause and can provide immediate and substantial relief to patients. However, the timeline varies depending on how long you’ve had the condition, its severity, and your body’s response to treatment. While doctors often say pinched nerves resolve on their own in four to six weeks, if you’re suffering from pain and discomfort, that’s likely longer than you’re willing to wait! That’s why we focus on providing faster, more effective relief through targeted chiropractic care.

What causes a pinched nerve and how do you treat it?

A nerve may become compressed or pinched in various ways, but the root cause tends to be some type of problem with the musculoskeletal system. It could result from an injury, poor posture, repetitive motion, or inflammation in tissue surrounding the nerve. If joints or bones become misaligned, they can pinch or compress a nerve. The root cause of compression is usually bones, joints, or muscles that are out of their proper position or have become misaligned. The chiropractic adjustment restores proper position and alignment, relieving pressure on the nerve. We use adjustment of spinal cords and joints to reduce compression on the pinched nerve, ensuring the root cause of the compression is addressed for faster, hassle-free treatment.

Is chiropractic treatment safe for pinched nerve pain?

Chiropractic treatment is a natural, healthy, and conservative approach to nerve compression treatment. With chiropractic care, you won’t be prescribed harmful medication or put through unnecessary surgeries. Through gentle spinal adjustments, chiropractic care promotes healing, allowing the body to do its job. In some cases, chiropractic adjustments provide instant relief. Unlike drugs or surgery, chiropractic care has no risk of side effects and no recovery time. Only a licensed, professional chiropractor should treat you. Dr. Heath has been practicing for over 25 years and uses proven, gentle techniques to ensure your safety and comfort throughout treatment.

What should I expect during my first visit for pinched nerve treatment?

When you visit us for pinched nerve problems, the meeting will start with a consultation and examination. We need to know about your medical history, we’ll ask questions about your lifestyle, and we’ll ask whether you believe the problem occurred as the result of a specific activity or event.

Can you help prevent future pinched nerve problems?

At our practice, we discuss ways you can prevent pinched nerves in the future, and what lifestyle changes you can make that will improve your health and wellness. Some ways you can prevent nerve compression include avoiding inactive positions for long periods of time, which can increase your risk of nerve compression. We introduce corrective exercises to restore strength and mobility to affected muscle tissue. We demonstrate exercises you can do at home, which help you maintain correct alignment between adjustments and build strength. You can play an active role in your own healing when you follow our exercise plan. We focus on preventing similar injuries from happening in the future, which may involve strategies to incorporate into daily life.
