Chiropractic Care for Pinched Nerves
You’re tired of temporary fixes that wear off by afternoon. You need your arm to stop going numb during meetings. You want to sleep through the night without sharp shooting pains waking you up.
That’s exactly what happens when we identify what’s actually pinching your nerve and fix it. Most people start feeling relief during their first visit. Within a few weeks, you’re back to normal activities without constantly thinking about your pain.
The difference is simple: we don’t just treat your symptoms. We find the misalignment, herniated disc, or muscle tension that’s putting pressure on your nerve and correct it naturally.
Experienced Chiropractor Blendon Township
Dr. James Heath has been helping Blendon Township families since 1998, right here in the same location. That’s over two decades of experience treating pinched nerves, back pain, and helping people avoid surgery.
What makes us different? We evaluate each person individually. No cookie-cutter treatment plans. No rushing you through appointments. Just honest assessment of what’s wrong and a tailored plan to fix it.
Our patients stick with us because we focus on results, not gimmicks. Many have been coming here for years because they know we’ll take care of them when pain strikes.
Pinched Nerve Treatment Process
First, we figure out what’s actually causing your pinched nerve. Dr. Heath will examine your spine, check your range of motion, and if needed, take X-rays right here in our office. No waiting weeks for results from another facility.
Once we know exactly where the problem is, we create your treatment plan. This usually involves gentle chiropractic adjustments to relieve pressure on the nerve, plus any complementary treatments like massage therapy to help muscles relax and heal faster.
Most people feel some relief right away. Over the next few visits, we monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as needed. The goal is getting you back to normal as quickly as possible, then showing you how to prevent it from happening again.

Comprehensive Pinched Nerve Solutions
Your pinched nerve treatment includes thorough evaluation, gentle spinal adjustments, and any necessary complementary therapies. We also provide corrective exercises you can do at home to speed healing and prevent future episodes.
Many Blendon Township residents come to us because they want to avoid surgery or reduce their dependence on pain medications. Our natural approach works with your body’s healing mechanisms instead of just masking symptoms.
We also offer massage therapy as an adjunct service, which helps relax tight muscles that might be contributing to nerve compression. Everything is coordinated under one roof, so you’re not running around to different appointments all over town.
How long does it take to see results from pinched nerve treatment?
Most patients experience some relief during their first adjustment, though everyone heals at different rates. Mild pinched nerves often improve significantly within a few days to a week. More severe cases might take several weeks of consistent treatment.
The key is addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. Once we relieve the pressure on your nerve through proper spinal alignment, your body can start healing naturally. We’ll monitor your progress closely and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure you’re improving steadily.
What causes a pinched nerve in the neck or back?
Pinched nerves usually happen when surrounding tissues put pressure on the nerve. Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs from arthritis, muscle tension from poor posture, or spinal misalignments from injury or repetitive stress.
In Blendon Township, we see a lot of pinched nerves from desk work, poor sleeping positions, and everyday activities like lifting or gardening. Sometimes it’s a gradual process from years of poor posture, other times it happens suddenly from sleeping wrong or making an awkward movement. The good news is most cases respond well to conservative chiropractic treatment.
Can chiropractic adjustments really help with pinched nerve pain?
Yes, chiropractic care is highly effective for pinched nerves because we address the underlying mechanical problem causing the nerve compression. When your spine is properly aligned, it takes pressure off the nerves and allows them to function normally.
Dr. Heath uses gentle, specific adjustments to restore proper alignment and movement to your spine. This relieves the pressure on your pinched nerve and allows your body’s natural healing processes to take over. We also incorporate soft tissue work and corrective exercises to support the healing process and prevent recurrence.
Do I need surgery for my pinched nerve?
The vast majority of pinched nerve cases can be resolved without surgery. Conservative treatment like chiropractic care, massage therapy, and corrective exercises successfully treats most pinched nerves when started early.
Surgery is typically only considered when conservative treatment fails after several months, or in severe cases with significant nerve damage. At Chiropractic First, we’ve helped thousands of patients avoid surgery by addressing pinched nerves naturally and effectively. Our goal is always to help your body heal itself through proper alignment and function.
How do I know if my symptoms are from a pinched nerve?
Common pinched nerve symptoms include sharp, shooting pain that may radiate down your arm or leg, numbness or tingling in your fingers or toes, muscle weakness in the affected area, and pain that worsens with certain movements or positions.
The pain often follows the path of the affected nerve, so a pinched nerve in your neck might cause pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down your shoulder and arm. A pinched nerve in your lower back might cause symptoms that radiate into your hip, leg, or foot. During your examination, Dr. Heath can determine if your symptoms are consistent with a pinched nerve and identify the exact location.
What should I expect during my first visit for pinched nerve treatment?
Your first visit includes a thorough consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and how the pain is affecting your daily life. Dr. Heath will perform a physical examination to assess your range of motion, muscle strength, and reflexes.
If necessary, we’ll take X-rays right here in our office to get a clear picture of your spine and identify any structural issues contributing to your pinched nerve. Based on our findings, we’ll explain what’s causing your problem and create a personalized treatment plan. Many patients receive their first gentle adjustment during this visit and start feeling relief immediately.
