Pinched Nerve
If you are experiencing spinal pain, misalignment, or symptoms of a pinched nerve, it may be time to consult an experienced chiropractor. At We Care Chiropractic Center, Dr. Phillip Nutter has been helping patients on their journey to wellness since opening his practice in 1985, shortly after earning his Doctorate in Chiropractic Care. If you live in Pittsburgh, PA, and believe you have a pinched nerve, let Dr. Nutter provide the care you need.
What Is a Pinched Nerve?
Nerves are responsible for transmitting sensations throughout your body. When a nerve becomes pinched, you may experience:
- Pain (burning, sharp, or shooting).
- Tingling or a "pins and needles" sensation.
- Numbness in the affected area.
A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is applied to it by surrounding tissues, such as herniated spinal discs, inflamed muscles, or tendons. This pressure can cause symptoms to appear along the length of the nerve, often manifesting in different areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, lower back, or even the feet.
How Dr. Nutter Can Help
If you are experiencing symptoms of a pinched nerve, Dr. Nutter offers effective chiropractic treatments, including:
Spinal Adjustments
- Dr. Nutter uses manual or instrument-assisted techniques to adjust the spine, focusing on misaligned vertebrae or herniated discs.
- Over a series of sessions, these adjustments help realign the spine and reduce pressure on the affected nerve, providing relief and promoting healing.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
- This gentle, non-invasive therapy involves lying on a computer-controlled table while a harness supports your body.
- The system applies controlled traction to stretch the spine, creating space between vertebrae and allowing bulging discs to return to their proper position, relieving nerve pressure.
