What Is a Pinched Nerve?
The nervous system is the body’s highway of communication. Nerves permeate every corner of your body, including the spine and vertebrae. Nerve roots branch off from the spinal cord and are found between every vertebra in the same way you would imagine a tree with branches of leaves. If these nerves are injured or damaged, it is called radiculopathy or a pinched nerve.
Pinched nerves are common in the lumbar region or lower back as well as the neck or cervical area, but they are not limited to the back and neck, and you can experience pinched nerves in your arms and legs.
What Are the Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve occurs when nerves are compressed, stretched, or constricted. The most prevalent symptom of a pinched nerve is numbness, tingling, or a ‘’pins and needles’’ feeling, and pain radiating from the affected area.
Pinched nerves may resolve themselves with time, but if the symptoms are persistent, it is better to consult Dr. Shah, who offers experienced chiropractic care in Jackson Heights, NY, and surrounding areas.
How Can Chiropractic Help With a Pinched Nerve?
Dr. Shah believes in a “whole-body” approach and will perform a thorough medical evaluation prior to recommending treatment. This is because your symptoms may be the result of an underlying cause that needs addressing.
Pinched nerves respond well to chiropractic adjustments that help bring the musculoskeletal system back into alignment, relieving any pressure or compression on your nerves. This contributes to kickstarting the body’s intrinsic healing and removing pressure on the nerves promoting pain relief and increased mobility.
What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care For Pinched Nerves?
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive method of treating a pinched nerve. Chiropractic care provided by Dr. Shah works to provide much-needed pain relief without relying on over-the-counter medication and bringing the musculoskeletal system into alignment, allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Chiropractic care is suitable for most people and works well as part of a holistic health regime.
