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.
Key Benefits
- Relieves nerve compression

How we treat pinched nerve
Dr. Andy has extensive experience treating pinched nerves throughout the spine. Here's our approach:
Locate the Compression
We perform a thorough examination to determine exactly where the nerve is being pinched and what's causing the compression.
Relieve the Pressure
Through specific adjustments, we work to realign the spine and create space for the nerve to function properly.
Reduce Inflammation
We use techniques that help reduce swelling and inflammation around the affected nerve.
Strengthen & Stabilize
We prescribe exercises to strengthen the area and prevent the pinched nerve from recurring.
Most pinched nerves respond well to chiropractic care. Many patients feel significant relief within the first few visits.
Pinched Nerve FAQs
How do I know if I have a pinched nerve?
Common signs include sharp pain, numbness, tingling (pins and needles), or weakness in a specific area. The symptoms often radiate along the path of the affected nerve.
Can a pinched nerve heal on its own?
Mild cases sometimes resolve with rest, but many pinched nerves require treatment to fully heal. Without proper care, symptoms can become chronic.
How long does it take to treat a pinched nerve?
Most patients see improvement within 2-4 weeks. Complete resolution depends on the severity and duration of the compression.
What causes pinched nerves?
Common causes include spinal misalignment, herniated discs, bone spurs, repetitive stress, poor posture, and injury.
