Do I Have A Pinched Nerve?
Many patients consult a chiropractic doctor because they think they have a
pinched nerve.
Because of the way your spine is designed, abnormal spinal function caused
from physical trauma, emotional tension, or chemical toxins can affect the
delicate tissues of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
While commonly associated with the spine, a pinched nerve ( compressive
lesion) is actually rare. Researchers suggest that only 10% to 15% of spine
related problems are caused by direct pressure of bone on nerve tissue! This
can result in numbness, burning, or a "pins and needles" feeling.
More frequently, nerves are irritated (facilitative lesion). This is caused
when nerve tissue is rubbed, scraped, stretched by a loss of spinal curve,
or irritated by malfunctioning spinal bones. |
