Can a Chiropractor Treat a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve can disrupt your life in ways you never expected. Tingling sensations, sharp pain that radiates to other parts of your body, and even muscle weakness are all signs that one or more of your nerves is under pressure. Tackling this discomfort early is crucial, as untreated pinched nerves can lead to further complications. That’s where chiropractic care steps in—a non-invasive, effective solution to address both the symptoms and the root cause of your pain.

What Is a Pinched Nerve, and Why Does It Hurt?

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues, like bones, muscles, or tendons, compress a nerve. This compression interferes with the nerve’s ability to transmit signals properly, causing symptoms like:

• Sharp, burning pain that often radiates to other areas (e.g., arm or leg pain originating from the spine).
• Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations.
• Numbness in affected regions like your hands or feet.
• Muscle weakness that makes even simple movements feel challenging.

This can happen due to injury, inflammation, herniated discs, or poor posture over time. Whatever the cause, the result can significantly impact your ability to enjoy life.

Chiropractic Care for Pinched Nerve Relief

At Motus Integrative Health, our approach to chiropractic care is a game-changer for pinched nerve treatment. Unlike traditional methods that often rely on medication or surgery, we focus on realigning and restoring the body’s natural balance to eliminate pressure on the nerve and ease your symptoms.

Here’s how we address pinched nerves, step by step:

1. Spinal Adjustments – The foundation of chiropractic care, spinal adjustments aim to correct misaligned vertebrae that may be pressing on the nerve. Using precise, controlled movements, our chiropractors realign the spine, reducing inflammation and creating space around the nerve for it to heal naturally.
2. Therapeutic Exercises – Rehabilitation doesn’t stop at adjustments. We incorporate custom exercise plans designed to strengthen the muscles around the affected area, improve flexibility, and prevent further issues. These exercises also promote better posture, which plays a critical role in long-term spinal health.
3. Soft Tissue Therapies – To complement spinal adjustments, we may use techniques like Active Release Techniques (ART) or trigger point therapy. These treatments target tight muscles that contribute to nerve compression, alleviating discomfort and promoting blood flow to the area for faster recovery.
4. Lifestyle Recommendations – At Motus Integrative Health, we extend care beyond the treatment room. Whether it’s ergonomic advice, stress management techniques, or stretches to maintain spinal health, we prioritize education to empower you to take charge of your well-being.
