What is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve describes a mechanical or physical compression of a nerve. This causes a variety of symptoms ranging from pain to hot, cold, numbness, tingling, burning and even weakness in extreme cases.
How does this happen?
Trauma such as a recent fall or accident can move your joints in ways that cause a pinched nerve. Also poor posture over time can wear out joints and put pressure on nerves. Many people report pinched nerves in their neck when using a poor sleeping position.
What can be done?
Chiropractic is one of the best tools for relieving a pinched nerve. By using specific gentle adjustments to the spine or affected joints, your chiropractor can relieve the pressure off the nerve.
How long does it take to heal?
This depends on how long the nerve has been compressed and the severity of the initial injury. Cases tend to improve pain wise with each chiropractic visit however returning to full function can take up to 6 months as nerves heal very slowly.
Do you or anyone you know suffer from a pinched nerve? Waiting can cause more damage.
