Understanding the Causes of Nerve Pain

An injury to the painful area of your body can cause nerve pain, as can diabetes, an infection, or a structural problem with your spine, limbs, hands, or feet. Posture problems can lead to nerve pain, while an abnormal walking pattern can cause issues with pain. The first step is to identify what is causing your nerve pain, in order for a chiropractor to establish a treatment plan that would work. Symptoms of nerve pain include sharp pain in an area, tingling sensations, numbness, or feelings of weakness. As your symptoms are assessed, your chiropractor will identify ways to provide you with the right treatment to correct any abnormalities. 

Treatment for Nerve Pain

Treatment will consist of spinal adjustments to correct any alignment problems with the spine. When your spine is out of alignment, this can cause nerve endings to become compressed. You might have hot or cold therapy to address tight muscles, massage, ultrasound, or electrical muscle stimulation. Decompression techniques can be used to stretch out the area that is causing you pain, opening up space between vertebrae to allow discs room to heal. Treatment for nerve pain should be two or three times a week for maximum benefit. You will be taught exercises to strengthen and stretch your body at home, which helps you recover faster.
