Pinched Nerve Pain Relief in Irvine
Your nerves constantly send messages back and forth between your brain and the rest of your body. An irritated or pinched nerve, however, cannot convey these vital messages as it should. This can lead to symptoms like radiating pain in the area controlled by that nerve (in your back, neck, legs, arms, feet, hands, etc). You may also experience weakness, burning, numbness or tingling sensations. If you live in Irvine and you are experiencing these symptoms, contact our chiropractor today about treatment for pinched nerve relief.
Our Irvine chiropractor Dr. Lee or one of his associate doctors, Dr. Melad or Dr. Samuelson, will carefully examine your spine, medical history and symptoms to determine the cause of your pinched nerve. There are four main reasons behind nerve impingement, so treatment will be designed to address those causes:
Nerves travel out from your spinal cord to the rest of your body through spaces between the vertebrae. If vertebrae are misaligned, they can pinch nerves, causing dysfunction and pain in the areas served by those nerves.
Injury or poor posture habits can cause the jelly-filled discs that cushion the nerves as they pass between the vertebrae to rupture. When this filling slips out, it can pinch nerves.
These same discs can also start to lose their shape and hydration as we age, causing them to bulge and irritate nerves.
The facet joints between the vertebrae that enable the spine to bend can start to wear down; this can also pinch nerves and lead to dysfunction, pain, numbness and tingling.
Our doctors can realign vertebrae so they stop pinching nerves and relieve pressure on the intervertebral discs; this will provide welcome relief.
Once the spine is correctly aligned, our chiropractor will help you keep it healthy by coaching you on exercises to boost core strength so you can better maintain optimal posture from now on.
Chiropractic treatment is extremely effective for pinched nerve pain relief. Please schedule an appointment with us in Irvine at 949-552-2100 for a consultation with our chiropractor.
