Relief for Pinched Nerves — Natural, Targeted Chiropractic Care
Understanding Pinched Nerve (Nerve Compression)
A pinched nerve—also known as nerve compression—is caused by pressure on a nerve, often from misaligned bones, tight muscles, herniated discs, or degenerative changes like osteoarthritis. It commonly leads to numbness, tingling, weakness, radiating pain, or reduced movement, depending on the nerve involved. Early detection and care are essential to avoid lasting damage.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Pinched Nerves
- Reduce Pressure at the Source
Through precise spinal or joint adjustments, chiropractors relieve compression on affected nerves by improving alignment and joint function. - Restore Mobility & Decrease Inflammation
Adjustments and therapeutic techniques help reduce inflammation around the nerve, increasing nerve glide and improving mobility. - Promote Functional Recovery
By improving nerve conduction and alleviating pain, chiropractic supports significantly better functional outcomes—especially in cases like sciatica or cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerves in the back or neck). - Support Long-Term Relief & Prevention
Chiropractic offers a multifaceted, drug-free approach—including adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and tailored exercises—to manage symptoms and prevent recurrence. - Proven Effectiveness & Safety
Studies show high success rates—up to 85% of patients with radiculopathy (nerve root compression) find relief through chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is generally safe when performed by a trained professional with a thorough exam; serious adverse effects are rare.
