Pinched Nerves and Chiropractic Care

A pinched nerve can be extremely painful. Every little twist or turn can send shooting pain up or down the spine. Many things can cause a pinched nerve. Have you ever worked out and something felt off that then turned painful? Maybe when you wake up in the morning, you realize you slept wrong and there is a pain that doesn’t go away. It can even be as simple as bending over to pick something up, and suddenly there is a lot of discomfort. Often, back and neck pain is caused by misalignments of the spine. In other words, a vertebra in the spine is out of place, which then causes a nerve to be compressed. Along with the pain from a pinched nerve, you might also experience tingling or numbness. You should schedule an appointment with Bare Chiropractic before the pain worsens and impacts your daily life.

Addressing the Cause of a Pinched Nerve

If a pinched nerve is not addressed, it can continue to be a problem for weeks or even months. It can lead to far more issues years down the road as well. Many doctors will prescribe pain medication, but that will not treat the root cause of the pinched nerve. While medication may help with nerve pain, it is not a guarantee and when the medication wears off, the pain will likely return. The best way to treat a pinched nerve is to correct the cause of the pinched nerve, which is likely a misalignment of the spine.

At Bare Chiropractic, we focus on the overall health and wellness of our practice members. Our chiropractors ensure that the central nervous system functions well without any issues. A spinal misalignment can disturb the communication of the nervous system, which can lead to dysfunction in the body. These misalignments can also be a cause of pain. Gentle adjustments from Dr. Thomas Keogh of Bare Chiropractic can restore the spine back to proper alignment, helping to relieve the pressure that has built up on the nerves and therefore reducing the pain.

Quality of Life Improved

Chiropractic care can not only alleviate pinched nerves but can also help improve overall health. When the central nervous system is functioning at its highest levels, it is better able to communicate with the other body systems so that everything works together the way it should. This will help the body fight off illness or sickness before you even notice it so that the body can stay healthy. Consistent chiropractic care will improve the overall quality of life.

If pinched nerve pain has affected your life, don’t wait any longer to find relief. With neurologically-based chiropractic care, there is no need to live with the pain. Specific and gentle adjustments can relieve pressure from the nerve, minimize pain, and improve the function of your entire nervous system.
