When a Nerve
Gets Pinched
A pinched nerve is a nerve squeezed or irritated where it leaves the spine.
Squeezed at the spine
A herniated or bulging disc, bone spurs or narrowing in the spine can press on a nerve root where it exits.
In the neck, it runs to the arm
A pinched nerve in the neck, also called cervical radiculopathy, can send pain, tingling or weakness into the shoulder, arm and hand.
In the low back, it runs to the leg
Lower down it can cause sharp, electric pain from the buttock into the leg, often with tingling or numbness.
How We Treat
A Pinched Nerve
Care aims to take pressure off the nerve and calm the tissue around it.
Spinal Decompression
Gentle, computer-guided traction for the neck or low back that can ease pressure on the nerve root.
Neck Traction
Gentle traction that stretches the neck and can take pressure off its discs and nerves.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments that restore motion around the irritated nerve.
Rehab and Posture Work
Exercises that strengthen and line up the spine so the nerve has room.
