A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues place pressure on a nerve, potentially leading to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness along the nerve pathway. This can occur in the neck, back, or extremities and may be influenced by posture, joint restriction, or disc changes.

Chiropractic care for pinched nerves focuses on improving joint motion, reducing mechanical compression, and addressing contributing movement patterns. Care is individualized and aimed at supporting nerve health and functional movement.
