Understanding Pinched Nerves

One of the primary causes for this condition is a pinched nerve. All throughout the body you have nerves that transfer feeling responses to the brain. When these nerves are pressed or pinched it leads to a sensation that is translated by the brain. Most often this sensation is pain, especially when experienced in the leg region. This pain includes numbness and tingling.

There are a few different reasons why individuals suffer from pinched nerves in the legs including:

• Sciatica
• Bulging or herniated disc

About Sciatica Nerve Pain

Sciatica is a condition in which the sciatic nerve is pinched. This nerve is located in the lower back. When the nerve is pinched or pressed against, it causes pain to radiate along the leg. As a result, sciatica most commonly occurs only in one leg.

The pain from sciatica is sharp and isolated in the area associated with the pinched sciatic nerve. However, you will also experience a painful sensation running down through the leg. The leg, buttocks, and foot can also become numb when standing, sitting, or walking.

Chiropractic Treatment for Leg Pain

When you have a pinched nerve, the muscles or tissue along the spine are out of place. As this occurs, it creates friction, inflammation, and pain. A spinal adjustment or spinal decompression therapy remedies this problem. This type of chiropractic treatment involves readjusting the spinal column. This is useful for eliminating the pressure or pinching on the nerve.

If you are chronically suffering from numbness and tingling in the leg, you will likely need ongoing chiropractic care. By getting your spine realigned on a routine basis, you help to prevent pinched nerves from becoming severe.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

A visit to the chiropractor in South Florida for leg pain associated with pinched nerves is an all-natural solution. For patients who are interested in drug free treatments for pain, chiropractic care is ideal.

Individuals who are looking for treatment without back surgery or other invasive processes opt for chiropractic care. You can get right back to work or your daily routine after you finish a chiropractic treatment for pinched nerves. This is perfect for busy and active adults who want to improve their health and wellness without downtime.
