Pinched Nerve Treatment
Are you experiencing pain, tingling, or numbness in your neck, back, arms, or legs? These may be symptoms of a pinched nerve, a condition we treat regularly at Complete Chiropractic Clinic in Sydney.
A pinched nerve correctly describes the structural issue occurring when a nerve is compressed by bone, joint, cartilage, or muscle tissue, resulting in discomfort, impaired function, and often radiating pain.
Our experienced chiropractors provide natural, non-invasive care to relieve your symptoms and restore healthy nerve function—without drugs or surgery.
What Causes a Pinched Nerve?
A compressed nerve can be caused by a variety of structural and lifestyle factors, including:
* Poor posture or prolonged sitting
* Repetitive strain from work or sport
* Stress and muscular tension
* Obesity or weight gain
* Osteoarthritis or degenerative changes
* Spinal misalignments or disc herniation
Back inflammation or joint dysfunction can irritate nearby nerves, and this pain may radiate into the limbs—creating major challenges for mobility, comfort, and quality of life.
Common Areas of Nerve Compression
Neck (Cervical Spine):
Pinched nerves in the neck can cause pain that radiates into the shoulders, arms, and hands, along with tingling or weakness in the fingers.
Lower Back (Lumbar Spine):
Compression in the lower back can trigger sciatica, numbness in the legs or feet, and muscle weakness—especially when nerves exiting the spine are affected by disc issues or narrowing spaces.
Why Early Treatment Matters
It’s important to address a pinched nerve early before lasting damage occurs. Without treatment, chronic pain or nerve impairment can develop. At Complete Chiropractic, we successfully treat pinched nerves by resolving the underlying structural problem, not just masking the symptoms.
Symptoms may include:
* Pain (sharp, dull, or burning)
* Tingling or “pins and needles”
* Numbness
* Weakness or impaired muscle function
* Reduced mobility
