How a Chiropractor Can Help with Pinched Nerves

Pinched nerves can cause constant pain that prevents you from engaging in the activities you love. Without treatment, pinched nerves can cause constant pain that can flare up and make it difficult for you to lead your life. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help the healing process and provide pain relief. Schedule an appointment at Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio for help dealing with your pinched nerves.

What Causes Nerve-Related Pain?

Pinch nerves are often caused by something putting pressure on the nerves, thus creating pain so long as the nerve is under pressure. Often disc issues in your spinal cord or misalignment of the vertebra are causing the pinch spinal nerves. Sometimes, the nerve pain is temporary and will go away on its own. Often, however, the pain will linger and may not go away until you receive the proper care and treatment. That is where a chiropractor comes in.

Nerves transmit signals to and from your brain throughout your body. These signals are vital for many reasons. If you touch a hot pan, your nerves will quickly report the heat and pain to your brain. You will likely drop the pan quickly, saving your body from further damage.

With a pinched nerve, the nerves are compressed, causing them to send pain signals to your brain. If the compression is constant or reoccurring you may suffer from on-going pain and it may become worse with time.

How a Chiropractor Treats Pinched Nerves

Our chiropractor can straighten out and realign your spine through physical manipulation. This can reduce pressure not only on your nerves but also on the muscles and joints. As a result, the chiropractor can relieve not only the pinched nerve pain but also the other sources of back pain or neck pain.

Best of all, chiropractors strive to address the underlying issues, not simply masking the pain for a time. This will allow you to get back to living life on your terms, enjoying the activities you love, such as long walks in the park, or hikes through your favorite green spaces.
