Pinched Nerve

The pain from a pinched nerve can disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks like turning your head or typing at a desk feel unbearable. At Motus Integrative Health, we understand just how challenging this condition can be, and we’re here to provide effective, personalized care that gets to the root of your discomfort.

What Are Pinched Nerves?

A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as muscles, tendons, or bones. This compression can interfere with the nerve’s function, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. Pinched nerves are most commonly found in areas like the neck, back, wrist, or elbow but can occur throughout the body.  

Recognizing Symptoms

The symptoms of a pinched nerve vary depending on its location but often include the following:  

• Sharp, burning pain radiating from one area to another.  
• Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations.  
• Muscle weakness or difficulty controlling certain movements.  
• Numbness or a loss of feeling in the affected area.  

For many, these issues don’t just cause discomfort—they limit mobility, affect performance at work, and make leisure activities less enjoyable.  

Common Causes

Pinched nerves can result from many factors, including poor posture, repetitive motions, sports injuries, or underlying conditions like arthritis or bulging discs. Even something as seemingly minor as sleeping in the wrong position may trigger this issue.  

For some patients, pinched nerves develop after sudden trauma, such as a car accident, or as part of the natural aging process, where wear and tear on the body lead to joint or nerve compression. Pinpointing the cause of your pain is crucial to developing an effective treatment plan.  

How Motus Integrative Health Can Help

At Motus Integrative Health, we specialize in innovative treatments for pinched nerves. Our patient-centered care focuses on identifying the underlying causes of your nerve compression and providing lasting solutions. We’re proud to offer the following therapies, each designed to promote healing and ease discomfort:

• Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy: Our chiropractors use precise adjustments to restore movement and alignment in your joints, relieving nerve pressure and improving overall function. Many patients experience immediate relief and ongoing improvements in their mobility through this method.  
• Active Release Techniques (ART): ART is highly effective for treating pinched nerves caused by soft tissue strain. This therapy helps break up tight muscles or adhesions that may be compressing a nerve, promoting relaxation and improved blood flow.  
• Neurodynamics: For patients with nerve pain that radiates down an arm or leg, this technique is a game-changer. Neurodynamics works to reduce nerve tension through tailored, gentle movements that encourage nerve mobility and adaptability.
