If you are suffering from an impinged nerve in the neck you are in a lot of pain and what you need is relief. A chiropractor may be able to provide the relief that you are looking for without resorting to invasive procedures. Dr. Michael Wilson of Kosak Chiropractic in Fairfield, CA provides many chiropractic services that can help with nerve pain in your neck.
What is an impinged nerve?
The spinal cord travels through the neck. When one of the nerves gets pinched or irritated, where it branches out from the spine, it can result in radiating pain in the shoulder and the arm, numbness, and weakness. In order to get relief from the pain you must get rid of the cause of the pinch or the irritation.
Spinal manipulation
Spinal manipulation of the vertebrae in the neck can help to relieve the pressure that is being placed on the nerves. The pressure can cause the pain that results. Your chiropractor has a variety of manipulation techniques to choose from, some are manual and some use instruments. The end goal is the same, no matter what the technique, to get your neck back into alignment and to relieve the pain.
Spinal decompression
If the reason for your nerve impingement is a herniated or bulging disc in your neck, there is a noninvasive therapy that may be able to provide relief. Spinal decompression uses a precise computer-operated program to gently stretch and then relax the spin in cycles. The object is to create space between the vertebrae so that the pressure is relieved on the nerves. Suction is created, and the disc moves back into its original position.
Therapeutic ultrasound
Sound waves are a way to treat pain and inflammation in any part of the body. They heat and vibrate the tissues and help the cells to heal themselves. Your neck will feel better and heal quicker with this treatment.
