Chiropractic Helps Relieve Pinched Nerves In Bloomington By Relieving Pressure

Chiropractic Helps Relieve Pinched Nerves In Bloomington By Relieving Pressure


by John Davis


When pressure is exerted against a nerve, the result may be moderate to significant pain. The nerve is referred to as pinched. As one prominent Bloomington Chiropractor will confirm, there are many possible reasons for the compression of a nerve.

One cause found frequently is a herniated disc. A spinal misalignment, referred to as a subluxation, is another that chiropractors often see. Inflammation and muscle spasms can occur in addition to the hurt.

Some of the reasons are obvious, and others are difficult to determine. It may be trauma from an automobile crash, stress due to repetitive movement such as typing or something as simple as poor posture. Playing sports may be responsible.

Regardless of the reason for the pinched nerve, the way to relieve the pain is to reduce the pressure against the nerve. Before the chiropractor can devise a plan for the best care, a thorough evaluation of your spine and surrounding tissue must be conducted.

A list of questions will be asked to determine the level and duration of pain. The client may have questions as well. Then the spine is examined along with any other areas that may be troubling you. Sometimes an x-ray will help to determine the cause.

If your lower back is the site of the pinched nerve you may feel pain there and down the back of one leg. If a nerve in your neck is pinched, you may find it difficult to move your head from side to side. This is often the result of whiplash.

Your pain should never be ignored. Permanent damage can occur. After the assessment is complete, the chiropractor may schedule a series of gentle adjustments to alleviate the pressure.

Adjunctive care may include massage and a routine of gentle exercises. These should not be started, however, until your chiropractor feels you are ready. Chiropractic adjustments can help now and prevent future occurrences.
