Cascade Township Pinched Nerve Treatment
You wake up and your neck actually turns without that sharp, shooting pain. You can sit at your desk for more than twenty minutes without numbness creeping down your arm. Sleep comes easy because you’re not constantly shifting positions trying to find relief.
That’s what happens when the pressure comes off your nerves. Your body stops sending those urgent pain signals and starts healing itself the way it’s supposed to. You get back to doing the things you love without planning your day around when the pain might hit.
Most people don’t realize how much a pinched nerve was limiting them until they experience what normal feels like again.
Cascade Township Chiropractor
We opened Chiropractic First in 1998, right here in the same location where we still practice today. We’re not some corporate chain or fly-by-night operation – we’re the chiropractor your Cascade Township neighbors have trusted for over two decades.
What makes that possible? We actually listen to what you’re dealing with. Take time to understand your specific situation. Then create a care plan that makes sense for your body and your life.
Dr. Heath earned his biology and chemistry degree from Central Michigan University, then completed his Doctorate in Chiropractic at Life University. But what patients remember most is that we treat you like family, not just another appointment.
Pinched Nerve Chiropractic Care Process
First, Dr. Heath sits down with you to understand exactly what you’re experiencing. Where does it hurt? When did it start? What makes it better or worse? This isn’t rushed – we need the full picture.
Next comes a thorough examination to pinpoint exactly where the nerve compression is happening. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes the source of your arm pain is actually in your neck. That’s why guesswork doesn’t work.
Then we explain what we found and walk you through the treatment plan. You’ll know exactly what to expect before anything happens. The adjustments themselves are gentle and precise – designed to take pressure off the nerve so your body can heal naturally.
Most patients start feeling relief right away, but everyone heals at their own pace. We monitor your progress and adjust the care plan as needed.

Comprehensive Pinched Nerve Care
Your pinched nerve treatment includes everything needed to get you better and keep you that way. Chiropractic adjustments are the foundation – gentle, precise movements that restore proper alignment and take pressure off compressed nerves.
But we don’t stop there. You’ll learn corrective exercises you can do at home to support your healing and prevent future problems. If muscle tension is contributing to your nerve compression, therapeutic massage therapy is available to address that piece of the puzzle.
Here in Cascade Township, we see a lot of pinched nerves from desk work, poor posture, and the general wear and tear of busy family life. We understand the local lifestyle and tailor treatment accordingly. You’re not getting some generic approach – this is care designed for people who live and work in West Michigan.
How long does it take to get relief from a pinched nerve?
Most patients start feeling some relief after their first adjustment, but complete healing typically takes 2-6 weeks depending on how severe the compression is and how long you’ve had it. The sooner you get treatment, the faster you’ll heal.
We’ve seen patients who felt significant improvement within days, and others who needed several weeks of consistent care. Your body’s healing timeline is unique to you. What matters most is that you’re moving in the right direction, which most people notice pretty quickly.
The key is not stopping treatment too early just because you feel better. That underlying misalignment needs time to stabilize, or the pinched nerve will likely come back.
What causes pinched nerves in the first place?
The most common cause is a herniated disc – when the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer and puts pressure on nearby nerves. This can happen from lifting something heavy, a sudden movement, or just gradual wear and tear over time.
Poor posture is another big culprit, especially for people who spend long hours at desks or looking down at phones. Your head weighs about 10-12 pounds, and when it’s constantly forward, that puts enormous strain on your neck and can compress nerves.
Sometimes it’s inflammation from an injury, arthritis, or even sleeping wrong. The good news is that regardless of what caused it, chiropractic care can address the underlying problem and get pressure off that nerve.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for pinched nerves?
Absolutely. Chiropractic care is one of the safest, most effective treatments for pinched nerves. We use gentle, precise adjustments that work with your body’s natural healing process rather than against it.
Unlike surgery, there’s no cutting, no anesthesia, and no recovery time. Unlike pain medications, there are no side effects or risk of dependency. You’re simply restoring proper alignment so your nervous system can function the way it’s supposed to.
We’ve been treating pinched nerves safely for over 26 years. We know exactly how much pressure to apply and which techniques work best for different types of nerve compression. The treatment is comfortable and many patients actually find it relaxing.
Will my insurance cover pinched nerve treatment?
Most insurance plans do cover chiropractic care for conditions like pinched nerves. Chiropractic First works with most major insurance providers, and we’ll verify your benefits before you start treatment so you know exactly what to expect.
Even if you don’t have insurance or your plan has limited chiropractic coverage, we offer a new patient special for just $37. This includes your consultation, examination, and initial treatment plan. We believe everyone deserves access to natural, effective healthcare.
Don’t let insurance concerns keep you in pain. Call our office and we’ll help you figure out the most affordable way to get the care you need. Most patients find that a few chiropractic visits cost far less than ongoing pain medications or potential surgery down the road.
Can you treat pinched nerves without surgery?
Yes, absolutely. The vast majority of pinched nerves respond very well to conservative chiropractic treatment. Surgery should always be a last resort, and most people never need it if they get proper care early enough.
Chiropractic adjustments work by restoring normal movement and alignment to your spine, which takes pressure off compressed nerves naturally. This allows inflammation to reduce and gives your body space to heal itself. It’s addressing the root cause, not just masking symptoms.
We’ve helped thousands of patients avoid surgery over the past 26 years. Even people who were told surgery was their only option often find significant relief with chiropractic care. The key is getting treatment before the problem becomes chronic and more difficult to resolve.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit starts with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, when they started, and what you’ve tried so far. We need to understand your complete health picture to provide the best care possible.
Next comes a thorough examination to determine exactly where the nerve compression is occurring. This might include checking your range of motion, muscle strength, and reflexes. If needed, we’ll recommend X-rays to get a clearer picture of what’s happening with your spine.
Once we know what’s causing your pinched nerve, we’ll explain our findings in plain English and outline a treatment plan. You’ll know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins. Most patients receive their first gentle adjustment during this visit and start feeling relief right away.
