Pinched Nerve

A pinched nerve is the painful obstruction of nerve roots that have branched from the spinal cord. Blockages impair the control and regulation of the brain on the body. If any of the spinal bones are misaligned, they can impede normal flow and irritate the nerves, causing a subluxation.

There are two types of nerve disturbances:

• The most common are facilitative lesions, when the nerve root is twisted, stretched or chafed. Hard tissue rubs on soft tissue.
• Compressed lesions are pinched nerves but are rather rare.

Remember that bones are stationary. The muscles initiate movement as directed by the nervous system. Irritated nerves disrupt normal movement. Chiropractic intervention helps to lessen the impact on the nervous system.

During a physical exam, we can locate areas of the spine that are “stuck” and not moving appropriately. We can make a chiropractic adjustment. to reduce nerve irritation.
