How A Winnipeg Chiropractor Assists Patients Who Have Pinched Nerves

By Allan Bigarda


A pinched nerve happens when a spinal nerve becomes compressed. This is generally the result of a herniated disc, osteoarthritis or long term poor alignment of the spine. It results in local or radiating pain and, worse, in numbness and weakness. In the lower back it can cause a condition called sciatica, which can be disabling.

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.

Chiropractors can also prescribe exercises to help relieve the pain and restore function. Techniques such as Pettibon corrective are designed to return the spine and thus the entire body to balance. A good chiropractor will not just relieve pain from a pinched nerve but actually relieve the compression itself, helping to prevent a return of symptoms.

Once you undergo chiropractic care, you will only need to take fewer medicines that can be addictive and have side effects. 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.

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.
