3. How Chiropractic Adjustments Relieve Pinched Nerve
How does chiropractic relive pinched nerve in the spine? Three ways chiropractic spinal adjustments relive spinal pinched nerve.
- By aligning the spine you take pressure off the joints in the spine.
- A correctly aligned spine helps reduce any disc bulging or disc herniation placing pressure on the spinal nerves.
- Misaligned spinal vertebra are a common cause of nerve pressure or pinched nerve in the back or neck. Chiropractic spinal adjustments align the spinal bones relieving a pinched nerve.

4. How to Treat Pinched Nerve
How we treat a pinched nerve? We treat a pinched nerve by using chiropractic adjustments that helps move the spine bones back in place which relieves the pressure off the nerve and off the disc which will relieve pressure off the pinched nerve.
5. Therapies to Relieve Pinched Nerve
Some of the therapies we use in our office to relive pinched nerves would be:
- Ultrasound therapy is a deep heat that will decrease your joint pressure and scar tissue formation that may irritate the nerve.
- Electrical muscle stimulation therapy is a mild form of electrical current which reduces inflammation, reduces muscle tension and therefore decreasing pain.
- Massage therapy helps relive swelling or inflammation in the muscle structures around those nerves.
- Traction therapy is used to decrease the pressure in the disc area reducing disc bulging or disc herniations that might be irritating the nerve.
If your suffering from a pinched nerve, one or a combination of therapy can relieve your pain. My name is Dr. Neil Langschied Chiropractor in Jeffersontown KY, give use a call.
6. Will X-Rays Show a Pinched Nerve
Does an x-ray show a pinched nerve? Generally, no, X-rays will show bone tissue. Your X-rays, examination findings and consultation combined will determine the diagnosis of a pinched nerve.
7. Is Massage Safe with Pinched Nerve
Is it safe to have a massage when you have a pinched nerve? Yes. It actually helps relieve pain from a pinched nerve.
When you get a pinched nerve a lot of times what will happen is that the pain will cause the muscles in the area to go into spasm to prevent you from moving that area.
Massage therapy will loosen up the musculature and allow you to move and have free range of motion and allow that nerve to heal better. Massage definitely helps with pinched nerve problems.
8. Ice or Heat for Pinched Nerve
Do you put ice or heat on a pinched nerve? It depends if the nerve is inflamed or if it’s a chronic pinched nerve.
If it’s inflamed you’d want to apply ice for as long as you have inflammation of the nerve. Ice therapy is what is going to keep the inflammation down.
If you have a chronic pinched nerve in some cases you might want to use heat if that seems to help. However always start with ice first.
9. How Long Before Pinched Nerve is Permanent
How long can you have a pinched nerve before you have permanent nerve damage? It can only take a couple of days in some cases.
When you get a punched nerve it affects the circulation going to the nerve which allows the nerve to slowly decay or die if you will.
There are certain tests that you can run like a nerve conduction test that will tell you how well the nerve is working. On occasion we do run that test. So that’s how you tell if the nerve is healthy or if it’s dying.
For nerve testing give my office a call, I’m Dr. Neil Langschied Chiropractor in Jeffersontown KY.
10. Can Stretching Help Pinched Nerve
Can stretching help a pinched nerve? Sometimes light stretching can help however you have to be aware that if you feel like you’re making it worse or if you feel like you’re having more pain during or after the stretching you’re probably irritating it more and you should probably stop.
Stretching in some cases does help relieve a pinched nerve, but if you’re having more pain then cease doing it.
11. Best Doctor for Pinched Nerve
What doctor should you see for if you have a pinched nerve? Specifically for the neck and back I would think a chiropractor would be the best choice. Chiropractors focus on finding and locating pinched nerves and relieving the pressure allowing them to heal.
