Peripheral nerve pain occurs when there is damage or dysfunction in the peripheral nervous system, which includes all the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. This type of pain can manifest as sharp, shooting sensations, tingling, numbness, or a burning feeling in the affected areas. Peripheral nerve pain can significantly impact daily life, making even simple tasks challenging and uncomfortable. If this sounds like something you’re dealing with, don’t wait to schedule an appointment with Dr. Phillip Nutter at We Care Chiropractic Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
We offer a comprehensive approach to treating peripheral nerve pain, focusing on both symptom relief and preventing it from returning. Our treatments are safe and chosen based on each patient’s unique needs.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a chiropractor’s most common treatment, including for peripheral nerve pain. By carefully realigning the spine, adjustments can relieve pressure on the nerves, reduce inflammation, and allow natural healing. There are many different techniques available, including ones that can be used on the neck.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is another treatment option at Dr. Nutter’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, office for peripheral nerve pain. This non-surgical technique gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs and causing them to retract. This process can help relieve pressure on compressed nerve roots, allowing for improved nerve function and reduced pain. It is especially popular for treating sciatica.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Techniques such as trigger point therapy can help alleviate tension in the muscles and fascia surrounding the nerves, improving circulation and relieving pressure. These therapies can also help break down scar tissue and adhesions that may be contributing to nerve compression.
