Pinched Nerves

An Overview of Pinched Nerves from West Hartford Chiropractic LLC

At West Hartford Chiropractic LLC, we have worked hard to expand the wide array of conditions that we can treat. One of the most common reasons why people come to see us has to do with pinched nerves. The nervous system is one of the vital systems of the body. Nerves start in the brain, travel down the back, and exit the spine to reach their final destinations. Along the way, these nerves can be compressed. This can lead to something called a pinched nerve. At West Hartford Chiropractic LLC, we are here to make sure that everyone in the CT area has access to a trained chiropractor

What Is a Pinched Nerve?

For a nerve to transmit its signals effectively, it needs to be free from compression along the length of its journey. Some nerves are incredibly long and a pinched nerve anywhere along the way can lead to serious symptoms. A pinched nerve results when there is a compressive force that impacts how the nerve communicates its signal. This can lead to a variety of symptoms.

What Are the Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve?

Depending on the type of nerve that has been compressed and how severe the compression is, symptoms can take many shapes and forms. One of the most common symptoms of a pinched nerve is a shooting pain that travels down the length of the nerve. For example, a compressed nerve in the shoulder can lead to shooting pains that travel down the arm. In some cases, a pinched nerve could also lead to numbness and tingling. It could even make someone feel weak. This is where a chiropractor can help.

How Can a Chiropractor Help with Pinched Nerve Treatment?

The goal of chiropractic care is to find the root cause of the issue and treat it effectively. This will remove the condition with limited side effects and complications. Therefore, the chiropractor will first work to figure out where the pinched nerve is located. Then, the chiropractor will use a series of controlled thrusts to shift the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons into the right positions. Finally, the chiropractor might also use traction therapy to help increase the amount of space around the nerves, alleviating the symptoms. This is how chiropractors can treat a pinched nerve anywhere in the body.
