Pinched Nerve
Welcome to Health Touch Chiropractic Pinched Nerve Page. We trust that you will find our Pinched Nerve Page useful in making your decision for Chiropractors in Tigard, OR.
A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues such as bones, discs, or muscles apply excessive pressure to a nerve. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Common Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve
- Radiating pain into the arms or legs
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Sharp or burning sensations
Where Do Pinched Nerves Occur?
Pinched nerves most commonly develop in the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine). Disc irritation, spinal misalignment, or inflammation can all contribute.
Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore joint mobility and reduce mechanical pressure on affected nerve roots.
