Pinched Nerve Treatment in Vancouver
Pinched Nerve - the term pinched nerve describes one type of
damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. The injury may result from
compression, constriction, or stretching. Symptoms include numbness, "pins
and needles" or burning sensations, and pain radiating outward from the
injured area. One of the most common examples of a single compressed nerve is
the feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep."
Pinched Nerves often result from faulty spinal mechanics due to the accumulation of stress & tension to the spine. This is best treated by proper assessment by a chiropractor & hands-on treatment which gets to the source of the problem and allow for most rapid healing. Call 604-733-7744 for relief!
Pinched nerves can sometimes lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow. The extent of such injuries may vary from minor, temporary damage to a more permanent condition. Early diagnosis is important to prevent further damage or complications. Pinched nerve is a common cause of on-the-job injury.
A nerve can be 'pinched' at various points along its route, each nerve having its own characteristic 'weak points'. The most common areas of pinching is at the exit of the nerves from the spine ( the foramina). They are pinched, compressed and pulled at these points.
