How Can a Chiropractor Relieve Pain From a Pinched Nerve?
The pain and discomfort from a pinched nerve can affect every area of your life. You might have trouble standing for long periods of time, sitting or lying down comfortably, and handling your normal daily activities. At SunCoast SpineCare: Chiropractic Neurology, Dr. Jay Schwartz can design a personalized ans specialized chiropractic care plan that relieves pain and muscle spasms caused by pinched nerves in Bradenton, FL. Here is a look at some of the most effective chiropractic therapies for pinched nerves.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments can address the underlying cause of your pinched nerve. During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Schwartz will target areas of spinal misalignment and correct dysfunctions that could be compressing or pinching key nerves around the spine.
VAX-D Spinal Decompression Therapy
A nerve can become pinched or compressed due to spinal misalignment, a herniated disc, age-related disc degeneration, or a bone spur. Spinal decompression therapy is a nonsurgical treatment option that can address the root cause of your pinched nerve. During spinal decompression, we will use a motorized decompression table to gently stretch your spine. Blood, oxygen, and nutrients flow freely throughout the spine. As your spine stretches back into proper alignment, you will experience reduced pain and inflammation and improved mobility. Please don’t confuse VAX-D with simple traction. VAX-D takes a logarithmic approach which avoids a natural spinal reflex that increases pressure. By avoiding this reflex it results in negative pressure and decompresses the discs and nerves. Dr Schwartz was personally trained by the inventor, Dr. Allan Dyer, a former Canadian Deputy Administer of Health and original inventor of the first heart defibrillator.
Cox Distraction
Cox Distraction is for milder disc problems. Dr. Schwartz was also personally trained by Dr.Cox. This procedure is a very specialized form of manipulation that also involves a specialized electrical table in conjunction with the Cox procedure that Dr. Schwartz performs on the patient.
MedX Low Level Laser Phototherapy
Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment option for pinched nerve pain and muscle spasms. Dr. Schwartz will use a small device to direct low levels of laser light to targeted treatment areas. As your body absorbs the laser light, it will begin specific biological processes in your body that accelerate soft tissue and nerve healing. Laser therapy can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and reduce muscle spasms and nerve pain.
Therapeutic Exercises and Stretches
After your in-office treatment, you can further the results of your therapy by completing home exercises and stretches that target the muscles around your pinched nerve. Strengthening these muscles and making them more limber and relaxed will offer better support for your spine and support proper posture and spinal alignment. Dr. Schwartz will teach you how to do these exercises and stretches at home. If you stick to a daily routine, you will notice less pain, fewer muscle spasms, and improved flexibility and mobility.
