Pinched Nerve in Neck

When a nerve exits the spine, it can become pressed between two bones or compressed by an bulging or herniated disc resulting in numbness and tingling in other parts of the body. The area where you experience these symptoms is indicative of where in the spine the “pinching” occurs. Nerve irritation in the neck often leads to symptoms in the shoulders, arms or hands. When the pinched nerve is related to joint dysfunction or bone malposition a successful pinched nerve in neck treatment is a chiropractic adjustment. Using carefully directed and controlled pressure, Dr. Joe will restore joints to a normal position and motion, reducing the pressure placed on the nerve quickly and painlessly.
