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.

The problem may be caused, in some cases, by tense muscles. This is something which can be fixed by exercise or massage. However, the first resort, even according to many doctors, is 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.
