Do I have a pinched nerve?
Many people consult a chiropractic doctor because they think they
have a pinched nerve. More common are nerves that are stretched,
twisted or irritated by spinal structures.
Because of the way our spine is designed, abnormal spinal function
caused from physical trauma a result of work related or driving
accidents, for example, emotional tension or chemical toxins can effect
the delicate tissues of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
More frequently, nerves are irritated (facilitative lesions). This is
caused when nerve tissue is rubbed, scraped or stretched by a loss of
spinal curve or irritated by malfunctioning spinal joints.
Do I have a slipped disc?
Technically, a disc cannot "slip." However, like the shock absorbers on
your car they can leak or rupture, causing serious back pain and other
issues requiring chiropractic treatment.
The intervertebral disc is a pad of cartilage-type material situated
between spinal bones. Each disc serves as a connector, spacer and
shock absorber for the spine. A soft, jellylike center is contained by
outer layers of fibrous tissue. Healthy discs allow normal turning and
bending. Because of the way each disc is attached above and below
the vertebrae, a disc can not "slip". However, trauma or injury to the
spine can cause a disc to tear, bulge, herniate or worse, rupture. This
can be quite painful, as the soft center of the disc leaks, putting
pressure on the adjacent nerve roots and spinal cord.
While results can not be guaranteed, many patients have avoided
needless surgery or a dependency on pain pills by choosing
chiropractic care for their disc related health problem.
