Pinched Nerves

Pinched nerves are relatively rare. Whilst it is not very common to have a bone compressing on a nerve, it is much more common to irritate a nerve by abnormal function or loading of the spinal vertebrae. Irritation and compression can result in pain, muscle weakness, numbness, pins & needles, burning sensation or any combination of these symptoms. Once the exact location of nerve irritation has been identified, your chiropractor can then get on with the job of getting you out of pain and on the road to recovery.
