In rural Bowne Township, you need healthcare that understands your lifestyle. Whether your pinched nerve comes from long hours driving to Grand Rapids for work, physical labor, or poor ergonomics while working from home, our treatment approach is customized for your situation.
Our goal isn’t just temporary relief – it’s getting to the root cause so you can prevent future problems and maintain an active lifestyle in this beautiful rural community.
How long does it take to see results from pinched nerve treatment?
Many patients experience some relief after their first few adjustments, but complete resolution typically takes several weeks depending on how long the problem has existed. If you’ve been dealing with symptoms for months, it will take longer than someone who seeks treatment right away.
Dr. Heath will give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation based on your specific condition. Most people notice significant improvement within 2-4 weeks of consistent treatment.
The key is following the recommended treatment schedule and doing the exercises prescribed. Patients who stick to the plan consistently see faster, more lasting results.
Can chiropractic care help if I've had this pinched nerve for years?
Yes, even chronic pinched nerve conditions can improve with proper chiropractic care, though it may take longer to see full results. The longer a nerve has been compressed, the more time it needs to heal properly.
Dr. Heath has successfully treated patients who’ve suffered with pinched nerves for years after other treatments failed. The difference is addressing the underlying structural problems causing the compression, not just managing symptoms.
While some cases may not return to 100% normal, most patients experience significant pain reduction and improved function. Our goal is getting you back to the activities that matter most to you.
What's the difference between your approach and just taking pain medication?
Pain medication only masks the symptoms temporarily – it doesn’t fix the underlying problem causing your pinched nerve. When the medication wears off, you’re back to square one.
Chiropractic care addresses the root cause by correcting spinal misalignments and reducing pressure on the affected nerve. This allows your body to heal naturally and provides lasting relief, not just temporary numbing.
You also avoid the side effects and dependency risks that come with long-term pain medication use. Most patients find they need less or no pain medication once their treatment progresses.
Do you work with patients who have physically demanding jobs?
Absolutely. Many of our Bowne Township patients work in agriculture, construction, or have long commutes to Grand Rapids. Dr. Heath understands how physical work and repetitive motions contribute to pinched nerves.
Treatment plans are designed around your work schedule and physical demands. You’ll learn proper body mechanics and get exercises that strengthen the areas most stressed by your job.
Our goal is not just getting you out of pain, but keeping you healthy and productive in your work. Many patients find they actually perform better at their jobs after treatment because they’re not constantly fighting pain and stiffness.
Will I need surgery if chiropractic care doesn't work?
The vast majority of pinched nerve cases respond well to conservative chiropractic treatment and don’t require surgery. Surgery is typically only considered for severe cases that don’t improve after months of appropriate treatment.
Dr. Heath will be honest about your prognosis from the beginning. If we believe your condition might need surgical evaluation, we’ll refer you to the appropriate specialist while continuing supportive care.
Most patients are surprised by how much improvement they see with chiropractic care alone. Even in cases where surgery eventually becomes necessary, patients often do better post-surgery when they’ve maintained good spinal health through chiropractic care.
How do you prevent pinched nerves from coming back?
Prevention focuses on maintaining proper spinal alignment, strengthening supporting muscles, and improving your daily habits that contribute to nerve compression. Dr. Heath provides specific exercises and ergonomic recommendations based on your lifestyle.
Regular maintenance care helps catch small problems before they become painful pinched nerves again. Most patients come in monthly or quarterly once their initial problem resolves.
You’ll also learn warning signs to watch for and simple techniques you can use at home when you feel tension building. Our goal is keeping you active and pain-free long-term, not just fixing the immediate problem.
