Ready to end your pinched nerve suffering?  Call Chiropractic Partners Today!

Pinched nerves can occur due to injuries, sporting activities, a sedentary lifestyle, incorrect seating/standing or lack of ergonomics in the workplace, auto accident injuries and even an already compromised area that can become tweaked from sleeping in a less than optimal position. 

Sciatica, low back pain, numbness, tingling, headaches, fatigue, overall pain, and discomfort can occur when a nerve becomes and stays pinched. We aim to offer relief care to get you out of pain that is accompanied by a plan to prevent it from happening again. Our chiropractors will ask questions about your daily life- from your workouts to your career life to help create a preventive plan.

Whatever the cause, there are several techniques to treat pinched nerves  our NC chiropractors can offer.  

Techniques That Treat Pinched Nerves

• Chiropractic Adjustments: We use a variety of adjusting techniques to treat pinched nerves. One in particular is the flexion/distraction technique.  It aims to alleviate pain and realign a disc that may be bulging. When a disc bulges, it often compresses the associated nerves in its path. The flexion/distraction technique helps to replace the bulged region of the disc by decompressing that region. This gentle, distractive technique not only alleviates the pinch and puts the disc back in place, but it allows space for nutrition to flow directly to the spinal column for healing. There are also other adjusting techniques that our chiropractors can discuss with you.
• Massage therapy can help the experience of sciatica as well to complement your adjustment. In certain cases, massage is better utilized before an adjustment to help soften stubborn tissues to make your adjustment more comfortable. We may also apply massage after your treatments to further reduce inflammation. 
• Acupuncture is available to reduce pain and improve neural communication between the muscles, spinal nerves and rest of the body. Hair-thin needles are placed along the skin's surface to reduce pain and promote healing. When nerves are pinched it can often cause what are known as muscle spindle fibers to seize up along the spine; further aggravating pinched nerves. Along with our chiropractic techniques, acupuncture can help release these trigger points. 
• Spinal decompression  Spinal decompression therapy works by using a machine to gently stretch out the spine. It is done slowly, in increments. The stretching can create enough space between the vertebrae for misaligned ones to fall seamlessly back into place. Sometimes, the machine can accomplish this on its own, and other times, a combination of the machine and traditional chiropractic adjustments does it. Either way, you get total healing without drugs or surgery.
• Our offices offer several therapeutic modalities to help ease your pain from a pinched nerve.  You can trust us with discussing a customized plan we feel is best for you!
