Tingling, numbness, burning, or shooting pain can all point to an irritated or compressed nerve. Can a chiropractor help? For many nerve compression problems, yes, by relieving the pressure on the nerve.
What chiropractic can and cannot do
Chiropractic care is well suited to nerve symptoms caused by compression or misalignment, including pinched nerves, herniated discs, sciatica, and cervical radiculopathy. By restoring alignment and motion, it reduces the pressure irritating the nerve. For nerve damage from disease or severe trauma, we evaluate and refer or co-manage as appropriate.
Nerve symptoms after a crash
Car accidents commonly compress nerves through disc and soft-tissue injury, and symptoms may be delayed. An exam, and imaging when needed, identifies the source before care begins.
