How A Winnipeg Chiropractor Assists Patients Who Have Pinched Nerves

By Allan Bigarda


A pinched nerve happens when a spinal nerve becomes compressed. This is generally the result of a herniated disc, osteoarthritis or long term poor alignment of the spine. It results in local or radiating pain and, worse, in numbness and weakness. In the lower back it can cause a condition called sciatica, which can be disabling.

In some situations, tense muscles can cause pinched nerves. It is possible to deal with this condition through massage or exercise. However, most people, including doctors recommend that people who have pinched nerves should consult with a Winnipeg chiropractor.

Chiropractic care is conservative and drug free. It can fix poor alignment and slow the progress of degenerative disc disorder, causing herniated discs. Proper chiropractic manipulation will correct poor alignment of the spine and move everything away from the compressed nerve.

Chiropractic practitioners may also recommend exercises that can help restore function and relieve pain. Strategies like Pettibon corrective are meant to restore the spine, resulting to balance in the entire body. Good chiropractors use therapies intended to relive pain from pinched nerves and the compression itself. This helps ensure that symptoms do not return.

Once you undergo chiropractic care, you will only need to take fewer medicines that can be addictive and have side effects. It is also possible to delay or eliminate the necessity of invasive surgery. However, you may still need surgery if you have osteoarthritis, which has caused the development of bone spurs. In order to know if you are suffering from bone spurs, a physician or chiropractic doctor can take x rays.

On the whole, though, the first port of call for radiating, sharp pain in the lower back, especially if accompanied by tingling, weakness or numbness, is a good chiropractic doctor. They will do their best to relieve your pain, restore motion and return you to a quality, pain free life. If you have any of these symptoms, you should consider making an appointment for a consultation as soon as possible.
