Pinched Nerves

Chiropractic care and Pinched Nerves

Chiropractors are effective in helping with interference in the nervous system, including a pinched nerve. For example, your nervous system is the center of your thoughts, memory,  and learning. Additionally, it affect how you go about your day. Your muscles, blood vessels, glands, internal organs and systems need a healthy nervous system to function properly.

So, when any of these signals are interrupted, it can cause pain and disfunction. However, our chiropractor can identify what the location of the problem is. Also, we put you on a chiropractic care plan to help resolve the condition. By doing so, we can get you back on the pathway to better health with chiropractic care.

Your spinal column has 4 main functions, which include:

1. To house and protect the spinal cord and its spinal nerves

2. To support the weight of your shoulders and hips

3. To work as an attachment site for your muscles

4. To support your head and ribs

Your spine consists of 24 vertebrae which allow support. In addition, they provide durability and strength of your back. When these vertebrae misalign, the pressure caused can pinch a nerve. Essentially, this causes you pain and dysfunction.  Our doctor will perform a complete exam to determine the cause of the pinched nerve. Occasionally you will need diagnostic testing as a result.

Our doctor will determine the next step of treatment, and explain the findings to you. Accordingly, our treatment plans include chiropractic care. This allows us to decompress the pinched nerve. Secondly, we can help improve range of motion of the spine and associated area. Finally, we incorporate stretching and exercise to strengthen the area. Lastly, this will help prevent future pain from a pinched nerve.
