Understanding pinched nerves
A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues — bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons. This compression disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness.
Pinched nerves can occur anywhere in the body but are most common in the spine, where misaligned vertebrae or herniated discs can compress spinal nerves.
Chiropractic care is highly effective for pinched nerves because it addresses the underlying structural issues causing the compression. By restoring proper alignment, we can relieve pressure on the nerve.
