What is a Pinched Nerve?


What is a Pinched Nerve?


When nerves become ‘pinched’, injury, spasm and inflammation of the surrounding muscles causes the nerve to become compressed, resulting in pain. The term “pinched nerve” is somewhat of a catch-all phrase that is commonly used to describe the pain associated with nerves that become irritated and inflamed when the bones, joints or muscles of the spine are not in their proper position, or are not moving properly.


This condition responds very well to chiropractic care. It is very important that the cause of any form of pain be properly diagnosed. This is especially important when nerves are affected as severe or long term irritation, or compression, of a nerve can lead to permanent nerve damage. If you have been told that you have a “pinched nerve” it is very important that you seek professional care from a doctor of chiropractic as soon as possible.
