Pinched Nerve? Probably Not!

Backaches and sciatica image.

By now you know that chiropractic is primarily concerned with the integrity of your nervous system. Like an electrician, we're interested in how well the "circuits" of your nervous system are performing. Since the moving bones of your spine and the discs that separate and connect them are often involved, we focus here.

Two types of nerve tissue involvement are found.

The most common is referred to as a facilitative lesion. That's a technical way of saying an irritated nerve. Think of it as an intermittent short circuit. It's irritating! Here, spinal bones and adjacent soft tissues rub, chafe, stretch, twist or irritate delicate nerve tissue, affecting how nerve communications are transmitted either to or from the brain. These changes produce a variety of responses in organs and tissues distant from the spine.

The least common, believe it or not, is the pinched nerve. Also called a "compressive lesion," this is the classic, hard bone on a soft nerve model. While easy to understand, as a practical matter, it's relatively rare. Numbness and tingling are often present, but not always.

In either case, the chiropractic approach is to help normalize the relationships between the bones, discs and nerves. With restored positional and functional integrity, symptoms usually subside and health can return.

When practice members say they have a pinched nerve, we know what they mean. The good news is, regardless of what you call it, we have an unusually high success rate without relying on drugs or surgery.

Dr. Fowler Asks some important questions of interest to Rowlett residents - Chiropractor Rowlett Dr. Fowler Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
