What Is a Pinched Nerve?

Effective, Non-Invasive Relief from Pinched Nerve Pain

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues like bones, discs, muscles, or tendons apply too much pressure on a nerve. This compression disrupts the nerve’s ability to function, often leading to pain and other symptoms in the affected area—or even radiating pain in other parts of the body.

Pinched nerves are common in the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine) but can also occur in the shoulders, arms, legs, and wrists.

Common Causes of Pinched Nerves

Herniated or Bulging Discs

One of the most searched causes of pinched nerves, herniated discs occur when a disc shifts out of place and compresses a nearby spinal nerve. This often leads to radiating pain in the arms (from the neck) or legs (sciatica from the lower back). Chiropractic spinal decompression can help relieve this pressure naturally.

Degenerative Disc Disease

As spinal discs age, they lose hydration and become thinner, reducing the space between vertebrae. This can cause bones or discs to press against nerves, often leading to chronic back pain, stiffness, and nerve irritation. Many people search “degenerative disc disease and nerve pain” looking for relief options.

Spinal Misalignments (Subluxations)

Misalignments in the spine can place uneven pressure on the nerves. Subluxations are a common cause of nerve interference that chiropractic adjustments are designed to correct. People often search “can chiropractic help pinched nerves?”—and the answer is yes.

Muscle Tension and Inflammation

Tight muscles from overuse, poor posture, or stress can compress nearby nerves. This is especially common in the neck and shoulder areas, causing pain that radiates down the arm. Releasing muscle tension through chiropractic and soft tissue therapy is an effective, drug-free approach.

Injury or Trauma

Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can cause sudden damage to spinal structures, resulting in nerve compression. These injuries are often associated with “pinched nerve from whiplash” or “nerve pain after injury.” Early chiropractic care is critical for reducing inflammation and avoiding long-term nerve damage.
