Can a Chiropractor Help with a Pinched Nerve?

Can a Chiropractor help with a pinched nerve?

Sometimes - Symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, bladder or bowel problems can have different causes, so the first step is a careful evaluation. Depending on what's causing your symptoms, chiropractic care may be one part of a conservative care plan - but may not be right for every condition, and results can vary. An evaluation with a qualified medical provider is needed to assess the situation properly.

Chiropractic care uses non-surgical methods to relieve pressure on the compressed nerve. Ways Chiropractic care can help are:

Spinal Adjustments - Manual or guided adjustments realign the vertebrae in your spine to open up space and remove pressure from the nerve roots.

Soft Tissue Therapy - myofascial release, or manual therapy help relax tight, inflamed muscles that may be trapping or pulling on the nerve.

Rehabilitative Exercises - Targeted stretches and strengthening movements improve posture and support the surrounding muscles to prevent the nerve from getting pinched again.
