What Causes Pinched Nerves?
The nerves in your body extend from your brain and spinal cord and send messages throughout your body. When a nerve becomes compressed, it is your body’s warning sign for pain. Pressure on the nerves may be the result of repetitive motions and can lead to discomfort in various parts of the body. Neck and back pain can be a result of the changes that develop in the spine’s discs and bones.
Warning Signs of Pinched Nerves
There are a variety of symptoms when it comes to nerve compression. Interestingly, you may have additional symptoms besides pain. Here are some of the more common symptoms of pinched nerves:
• Pain, particularly in the lower back or neck
• Radiating pain, such as sciatica
• Numbness or tingling
• The feeling of a burning sensation
• Weakness with certain activities
Pinched Nerve Treatment
Medications for a pinched nerve may reduce swelling and pain, but ultimately, they do not address the problem. At our chiropractic facility in Brick, NJ we focus on eliminating the root cause of your pain or injury. Dr. William Walsh will use several different chiropractic techniques and treatments in order to expedite the pinched nerve and accelerate the healing process.
