How A Winnipeg Chiropractor Assists Patients Who Have Pinched Nerves

By Allan Bigarda


A pinched nerve occurs once the spinal nerve is compressed. This is usually as a result of osteoarthritis, continuing poor spinal alignment or a herniated disc. It causes radiating or local pain. It can also cause weakness and numbness. In the lower area of the back, it may cause a potentially disabling condition known as sciatica.

In some cases, tense muscles can be the culprit. This can be fixed by massage or exercise. Nevertheless, most people and professionals like doctors recommend seeing a Winnipeg chiropractor as the first resort.

Chiropractic care does not involve the use of medications and is conservative. It is effective in rectifying poor spinal alignment and slowing the progress of degenerative disc disorder, which causes herniated discs. The right form of spinal adjustment can correct poor spinal alignment and ensure that nothing is compressing the nerve.

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.

It is also possible to delay or eliminate the necessity of invasive surgery. However, you may still need surgery if you have osteoarthritis, which has caused the development of bone spurs. In order to know if you are suffering from bone spurs, a physician or chiropractic doctor can take x rays.

After taking everything into account, the first thing you should do if you have sharp and spreading lower back pain is to see a doctor of chiropractic. This is especially the case if the pain is accompanied by numbness, weakness or tingling. The chiropractor will recommend the most effective therapy to relieve the pain, restore motion and make sure that you have a good quality of life.
