What Causes a Pinched Nerve?
Several factors, including repetitive movements, poor posture, aging, or an injury, can cause a pinched nerve. It is also possible for your spine to misalign and compress a nerve root in the spinal cord. No matter the cause, our chiropractors will work with you to find relief from the pain and other symptoms associated with this condition.
Common pinched nerve conditions include:
- • Sciatica – This condition causes pain along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back to your legs. It is one of the most common pinched nerve conditions and can be caused by compression of the lumbar spinal nerves.
- • Cervical Radiculopathy – This condition develops from the pressure to the cervical spine nerve root. Symptoms may include neck, shoulders, arms, and even finger pain.
- • Thoracic Radiculopathy – This occurs when a thoracic spine nerve root is compressed. Symptoms may include pain in the chest or abdomen, as well as numbness or weakness.
- • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – In other words, a pinched nerve condition affecting the wrist median nerve. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, or pain in the fingers, hand, and forearm.
At Long Island Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, PLLC, we specialize in treating these and other pinched nerve issues.
