Pinched Nerve Treatment Options at Southside Chiropractic Clinics

Understanding Pinched Nerve:

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues or bones exert pressure on a nerve, leading to symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness. This condition can result from various factors such as injuries, repetitive motions, or medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or obesity 

 

 


Diagnosis:

At Southside Chiropractic & Car Injury Clinic, diagnosing a pinched nerve involves a thorough examination. While physical exams are common, additional tests like MRI, nerve conduction studies, ultrasound, or electromyography may be necessary for accurate diagnosis.

Treatment Options:

  1. Rest and Supportive Measures:
    • Initial treatment often involves rest, possibly with the use of braces or splints to support the affected area.
  2. Medications:
    • Over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen or naproxen can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with pinched nerves.
    • Corticosteroids, whether oral or injected, may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling.
  3. Therapeutic Interventions:
    • Heat or ice therapy can help relieve pain and reduce swelling.
    • Physical therapy aims to loosen and strengthen muscles, improving flexibility and reducing pressure on the nerve.
    • Massage therapy targets muscle tension and may alleviate pressure on the affected nerve.
  4. Chiropractic Care:
    • Chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and massage are utilized to reposition bones, reduce nerve pressure, and relax muscles.
    • Chiropractors specialize in spinal adjustments and manipulation, addressing underlying issues like subluxation that contribute to pinched nerves.
  5. Surgical Intervention:
    • In severe cases where conservative treatments fail to provide relief, surgery may be necessary to remove the source of compression, such as bone spurs or herniated discs.

Prevention and Management:

Preventing pinched nerves involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding repetitive motions. Additionally, maintaining good posture and seeking prompt medical attention for any symptoms can help prevent complications.
