Can a Chiropractor Fix a Pinched Nerve?
July 2, 2025
Introduction Imagine waking up with a shooting pain that runs down your neck, back, or even your arms. Your movements are limited, and every little motion sends a jolt of discomfort through your body. For many people, this is the reality of living with a pinched nerve. But here's the good news: chiropractic care could be your secret weapon for relief. At Crack Shack Chiropractic in Cary, NC, we believe in providing accessible, $20 chiropractic adjustments that make a real difference. Let’s dive into how we approach pinched nerves and what you need to know about getting back to pain-free living.
What Is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissues (like muscles, bones, or discs) apply too much pressure on a nerve. This compression disrupts the nerve's function, causing symptoms like:
- Sharp or burning pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Radiating pain along the spine or limbs
Common causes include poor posture, spinal misalignment, repetitive movements, or herniated discs.
How Chiropractors Help with Pinched Nerves
Chiropractic care is often one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for a pinched nerve. Here’s how it works:
- Spinal Adjustments: Targeted adjustments realign your spine and relieve pressure on compressed nerves.
- Muscle Release Techniques: Tension in surrounding muscles can be addressed through myofascial release or trigger point therapy.
- Posture Correction: We evaluate and correct posture habits that may be causing chronic nerve impingement.
- Personalized Plans: At Crack Shack Chiropractic, we create affordable treatment plans tailored to your unique pain and lifestyle needs.
Can a Chiropractor Really "Fix" It?
Yes, in many cases, chiropractic treatment can relieve the symptoms and underlying cause of a pinched nerve—especially when caught early. Our goal is to restore full mobility, reduce inflammation, and prevent future flare-ups through:
