Do you have a pinched nerve? The Chiropractic Physician is trained in body mechanics and how to relieve the cause of the symptoms that you have. The term "pinched nerve" is not a clinical term but helps to explain why the symptoms you have may be directly associated with the spine.

If you are suffering from radiating pain in the neck, arms, shoulders, back, legs or feet it may well indicate pressure on the nerves as they emit from the spine.

Headaches are one of the most common results of nerves being stretched, irritated or compressed by inflammation in or near the spine. The doctor may call it a pinched nerve for easier understanding, and then identify it before beginning treatment.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A PINCHED NERVE?

• Do you have back pain?
• Do you have frequent headaches?
• Do you have neck pain, stiffness or pain across the shoulders?
• Are you experiencing pain, numbness or tingling radiating into your arms, legs, hands or feet?
• Do you have pain between the shoulders?

WHAT CHIROPRACTIC CAN DO FOR A PINCHED NERVE!

Misaligned vertebrae can rarely correct themselves spontaneously and permanently. The answer lies in chiropractic care. The doctors with All Brevard Chiropractic have the training, education and experience to determine which vertebrae are involved in a sciatic condition.

They will locate the misaligned vertebrae by means of x-rays and other diagnostic methods. After aligning these vertebrae, the nerve pressure is then released, thus relieving the acute pain. There are no pain-killing drugs used, so when the pain is relieved, you can be sure that the doctor is working on the underlying cause, not just the pain symptom. It usually takes time to stabilize the bones in proper position so that the vertebrae no longer pinch nerves.
