How A Winnipeg Chiropractor Helps Relieve 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.

The care provided by a chiropractor is drug free and conservative. It does not only reduce the progression of degenerative disc disorder but also fixes poor alignment. Poor spinal alignment causes herniated discs. Chiropractic care helps correct poor spine alignment and eliminates everything from the compressed nerves.

A chiropractic doctor can also ask you to perform exercises, which can help restore function and relieve pain. Techniques like Pettibon corrective are meant return the spine and the whole body back to balance. A competent chiropractic physician is capable of relieving pain from your pinched nerve as well as relieving the compression. This prevents the symptoms from returning.

The patients who undergo chiropractic care do not have to take many medications. Medicines can be addictive and usually have side effects. They can also delay or avoid undergoing surgery altogether. However, patients who are suffering from bone spurs caused by osteoarthritis may still need to undergo surgery. A chiropractor or physician can perform X rays to determine if a patient has bone spurs.

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.
