Radiculopathy, often referred to as a "pinched nerve," occurs when a nerve in the spine is compressed or irritated as it exits the spinal cord. This condition can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates from the spine to other areas of the body, often affecting the neck, back, arms, or legs.
​
We specialize in helping patients find relief from radiculopathy through non-invasive, natural treatment methods. Our approach focuses on addressing the underlying causes of nerve compression, such as herniated discs, spinal misalignments, or degenerative disc disease, rather than just masking the symptoms.
​
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Radiculopathy
​
-
Spinal Adjustments: Misalignments in the spine can put pressure on nerves, leading to radiculopathy. Our chiropractors use precise spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments, reducing nerve compression and alleviating pain.
-
Decompression Therapy: For patients suffering from herniated or bulging discs, decompression therapy can be highly effective. This gentle technique helps relieve pressure on the affected nerve roots, promoting healing and reducing pain.
-
Posture and Movement Rehabilitation: Poor posture or repetitive movements can contribute to radiculopathy by placing additional stress on the spine. Our chiropractic care includes posture correction and movement education to help patients avoid future flare-ups.
-
Soft Tissue Therapy: In addition to spinal adjustments, we may use soft tissue therapy to target muscles and ligaments that have become tight or strained due to nerve irritation. This can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve tension around the affected nerve.
-
Individualized Care: Each case of radiculopathy is unique, so we tailor our treatment plans to your specific needs. After a thorough assessment, we'll develop a personalized plan designed to reduce your symptoms, restore proper nerve function, and help you regain your quality of life.
