Pinched Nerve

What Is a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissue — such as a misaligned vertebra, a bulging disc, or tight muscles — places pressure on a nerve. This pressure disrupts normal nerve signaling and can cause a range of symptoms including sharp or burning pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Pinched nerves can occur in the neck, mid-back, or lower back, and symptoms often radiate into the arms, hands, legs, or feet depending on which nerve is affected.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Our chiropractor in Hewitt, TX evaluates the spine to identify areas of joint restriction or misalignment that may be contributing to nerve compression. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper spinal alignment, reduce pressure on irritated nerves, and improve overall mobility. Soft tissue therapy may also be used to address muscle tightness that is contributing to the problem. Many patients experience meaningful relief in symptoms like tingling, numbness, and radiating pain with consistent care.
