Pinched Nerves

If you're suffering from severe back pain, radiating pain, numbness or tingling, these can all be signs you're suffering from a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve can be caused by a variety of factors. However, all of these can lead to severe pain that can be helped by our chiropractor.

.

At Eastland Chiropractic in Twin Falls, ID, we want to help you feel your best and feel relief from pinched nerve ailments. Much of your pain could be caused by a pinched nerve, so it's important to find the underlying condition and help treat it in order to help relieve your pain.

What Is a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve is any nerve in your body that is compressed due to the surrounding areas, including muscles or the spine. A pinched nerve can cause debilitating symptoms including:

  • Severe, sudden, sharp pain
  • Pain that worsens upon twisting, sitting, or standing
  • Pain that radiates to other parts of the body, such as from the back to the legs
  • Numbness or tingling in other extremities of the body
  • Pins and needles feeling in the extremities

What Causes a Pinched Nerve?

There are many factors that lead to a pinched nerve. Twisting wrong or bending wrong is a common cause of pinched nerves. Other causes for this condition include:

  • Spinal stenosis: This is a narrowing of the spine that causes surrounding nerves to become compressed
  • Sciatica: This is caused by herniated discs or bulging discs. The discs in between the vertebrae can leak out substance, which puts pressure on the surrounding nerves.
  • Inflamed muscles: This can cause pain, soreness, and tension
  • Compressing the nerve: This includes carpal tunnel syndrome, that can lead to a numbing or tingling sensation

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

Our chiropractor will determine whether your pain, numbness, tingling, and other sensations are due to a pinched nerve. They will do so by conducting a physical exam as well as asking you questions about your symptoms. Using this information, they will be able to determine if a pinched nerve is the cause. Afterward, they can provide specific treatment plans that may include:

  • Massage therapy to alleviate sore muscles and reduce inflammation
  • Spinal decompression, also known as traction therapy, that gently pulls the spine and alleviates herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal adjustments to re-align the spine and improve posture and balance
  • Lifestyle changes, such as incorporating muscle stretches to reduce inflammation and compressed nerves
