Nerve pain may be accompanied by muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or burning. But even if the symptom is solely pain, it can interfere with your happiness and quality of life. Chiropractic care from Dr. Philip Willner in Littleton, CO, might be the solution to resolve any issues stemming from your nerve-related dysfunction.
Causes of Nerve Pain
Nerve pain can occur when you have pressure on a nerve, or it could arise from damage or disease affecting it. One of the more common reasons patients visit us for nerve pain is impingement, which could occur if you have a bone spur, a herniated disc, or inflammation or trauma. A problem anywhere on a nerve could be felt all along the nerve’s length. For example, if something is wrong with a nerve leading into your leg at the place where it first emerges from the spine, you may feel shocks traveling down your leg.
Getting Chiropractic Care for Nerve Pain
If you think you're suffering from nerve pain in or around Littleton, CO, we recommend scheduling a visit. Your symptoms don't have to continue when chiropractic care is available. While people often think of chiropractic care as being for back pain, we can treat arm, leg, or neck pain, as well.
Some patients with nerve-related conditions may benefit from spinal adjustments to relieve pressure and improve circulation. While this can be done on its own, a patient may respond better when they receive complementary treatments to optimize results. One prime example is ultrasound therapy, which uses the power of sound waves to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and relax tight muscles to promote healing.
Electrical stimulation delivers a low-voltage electrical current that alters or disrupts pain perception. You may also benefit from myofascial trigger point release — a treatment that decreases muscle tension, which can ease pressure on the surrounding nerves.
Even therapeutic exercises may benefit you, as they enhance blood flow and relieve pain while increasing strength, working to heal the issue in multiple ways simultaneously.
Dr. Willner in Littleton, CO, understands the complexity of nerve problems. The treatments provided are natural ways to get to the source of the problem and promote healing.
