Muscle Weakness due to nerve compression often starts as pain or numbness traveling from the neck into the hands or low back into the legs.
A feeling of heaviness or weakness is common with severe nerve compression. Everyday tasks like holding a cup of coffee or spoon, turning a door knob, or lifting the foot or leg become difficult.
How does this happen?
Nerves are like wires and control movement throughout the body. When they become compressed like is common in the neck and back, this begins to damage the nerve. Over time the nerve functions less and less, causing you to lose control or strength in the associated hand or foot.
How can Chiropractic help?
Chiropractic helps by removing these nerve compressions through specific gentle chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine. Once the nerves are no longer compressed the nerve begins to heal.
How long does it take to heal?
Due to limited direct blood supply to nerves, healing can take up to 6 months after the nerve compression is removed. However, most patients begin to feel relief within the first few weeks of regular chiropractic treatment.
