What is a
Pinched Nerve?
A “pinched nerve” is the result of damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. This can be due to stretching, compression and/or constriction by nearby tissues, such as bones, discs, cartilage, muscles and/or tendons. This pressure disturbs the nerve’s normal function.
A herniated disc in your low back can put pressure on a nerve root, causing pain and discomfort that travels down the back of your leg. A pinched nerve in your neck can lead to numbness and pain in your arm, hand, and fingers. Most patients respond well to conservative care, while severe cases may require surgery. Our doctors will always begin with a complete evaluation to ensure that you are a candidate for our treatments, getting started right away if appropriate and referring you elsewhere if necessary.
