Chiropractors focus on reducing mechanical stress in the spine. When joints are restricted or misaligned, they can contribute to pressure or irritation affecting nearby nerves. By improving joint mobility and spinal alignment, chiropractic care may help relieve pressure contributing to nerve symptoms.
Symptoms associated with nerve irritation can include:
- Radiating pain
- Tingling
- Numbness
- Weakness
A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the cause of symptoms and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
