Your nerves act as communication pathways between your brain and body. When a nerve becomes compressed or irritated, those signals are disrupted—leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in different areas of the body.
Pinched nerves can occur in the neck, upper back, or lower back, often causing symptoms that radiate into the shoulders, arms, hips, or legs. Left untreated, the condition can worsen over time and lead to chronic discomfort or reduced function.
A pinched nerve can cause more than just discomfort—it can affect how you move, feel, and function every day. Whether it’s sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness, these symptoms can interfere with work, sleep, and daily activities for many people across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding structures—such as discs, joints, or muscles—place pressure on a nerve. At Back to Health, we focus on identifying the source of that pressure and correcting it, so you can experience lasting relief instead of temporary fixes.
We begin with a detailed evaluation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and movement patterns. This helps us pinpoint the exact source of nerve compression.
Misalignment in the spine is a common cause of nerve pressure. Gentle, precise adjustments help restore proper alignment, relieve pressure on the nerve, and improve function.
When necessary, imaging allows us to assess spinal structure and identify underlying issues contributing to the pinched nerve.
This non-invasive therapy gently stretches the spine, reducing pressure on discs and nerves—especially effective for conditions involving disc-related compression.
We address tight muscles and surrounding tissues that may be contributing to nerve irritation, helping reduce tension and improve mobility.
Personalized exercises strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and help prevent future nerve compression.
Discs that press against nearby nerves are one of the most common causes of nerve compression.
Improper alignment in the spine can place uneven pressure on nerves and disrupt normal function.
Repeated movements or prolonged positions can strain muscles and joints, leading to nerve irritation.
Forward head posture or prolonged sitting can increase pressure on spinal structures and nerves.
Accidents, falls, or sudden movements can cause inflammation and structural changes that compress nerves.
Age-related wear and tear can narrow spaces around nerves, increasing the risk of compression.
Yes. Chiropractic care is highly effective at relieving pressure on nerves by correcting spinal alignment and improving joint function. This helps reduce pain and restore normal nerve communication.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity and cause. Some patients feel relief quickly, while others may need a structured care plan over several weeks.
It can feel like sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness—often radiating into the arms or legs depending on the location.
Some mild cases may improve, but without addressing the underlying cause, symptoms often return or worsen over time.
A balance is important. Too much rest can slow recovery, while guided movement and proper care help restore function more effectively.
If symptoms persist, worsen, or interfere with daily life, it’s important to get evaluated early to prevent long-term issues.
