Numbness, tingling, or burning pain? A pinched nerve needs treatment — and chiropractic can deliver it.
A pinched nerve (nerve compression) occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues — bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons. This pressure disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness along the nerve's path. Common locations include the cervical spine (causing arm symptoms), lumbar spine (causing leg symptoms), and the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
Pinched nerves can affect anyone at any age but are more common in adults over 30. Athletes, people with physically demanding jobs, pregnant women, and those with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis face higher risk. Prolonged sitting or repetitive movements can also gradually compress nerves over time.
Chiropractic care directly addresses the most common cause of pinched nerves — spinal misalignment. When vertebrae are out of proper position, they narrow the openings through which spinal nerves pass, compressing them. Spinal adjustments restore proper spacing between vertebrae, relieving nerve pressure rapidly and effectively.
At West Omaha Chiropractic, we use orthopedic and neurological testing to precisely locate and identify which nerve is being compressed and why. Our targeted adjustments are designed to quickly reduce that compression and restore normal nerve conduction — getting rid of your numbness, tingling, and pain so you can get back to normal.
