Book AppointmentCommon Causes of Pinched Nerves
Herniated / Bulging Disc

Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on nerves, especially in the lower back.

Prolonged sitting or poor posture can irritate nerves and lead to muscle tension.

What a pinched nerve means
A pinched nerve usually means a nerve is compressed or irritated, often where it leaves the spine. In the neck, symptoms often travel into the shoulder, arm, or hand. That pattern is covered with neck pain. In the low back, symptoms often travel into the buttock, leg, or foot. low back pain that follows the sciatic nerve is sciatica, one kind of pinched nerve, not a separate body part.
The name describes the irritation. It is not a single diagnosis. A herniated or bulging disc, a narrowed space around the nerve, or a tight muscle can all press on a nerve. Two people can use the same words and need different care.
The visit starts with where the symptoms go, what changes them, and a physical exam of strength, reflexes, and sensation. Digital X-rays show bone alignment. They do not show the nerve. If the exam suggests the disc or nerve itself needs a closer look, we talk through outside imaging such as an MRI.
When the exam supports it, care may include chiropractic adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, or intersegmental traction. Those are options to consider after the exam. They are not a match for every pinched nerve, and they are not used in place of emergency care.
Loss of bowel or bladder control, or weakness that is getting worse, needs an emergency department the same day. Do not wait for a chiropractic visit.
