How A Winnipeg Chiropractor Helps Relieve 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.

Chiropractic care is conservative and drug free. It can fix poor alignment and slow the progress of degenerative disc disorder, causing herniated discs. Proper chiropractic manipulation will correct poor alignment of the spine and move everything away from the compressed nerve.

Chiropractic practitioners may also recommend exercises that can help restore function and relieve pain. Strategies like Pettibon corrective are meant to restore the spine, resulting to balance in the entire body. Good chiropractors use therapies intended to relive pain from pinched nerves and the compression itself. This helps ensure that symptoms do not return.

After undergoing chiropractic care, you can take fewer medications (which have side effects and can be addictive). You can also eliminate or delay the need for invasive surgery. (Surgery may still be necessary if you have bone spurs from osteoarthritis. A doctor or chiropractic practitioner should take X-rays to eliminate this).

After taking everything into account, the first thing you should do if you have sharp and spreading lower back pain is to see a doctor of chiropractic. This is especially the case if the pain is accompanied by numbness, weakness or tingling. The chiropractor will recommend the most effective therapy to relieve the pain, restore motion and make sure that you have a good quality of life. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, do not hesitate to consult a chiropractic physician.
