A pinched nerve can disrupt your life, causing pain, tingling, numbness, and even muscle weakness. At Bend Whole Health Chiropractic, we understand how debilitating this can be, which is why we offer massage therapy as part of our holistic treatment approach to help alleviate nerve pressure and promote healing.
What is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues—such as bones, cartilage, or muscles—compress a nerve, disrupting its normal function. This can lead to discomfort that radiates along the nerve pathway, often affecting areas such as the neck, back, or even extremities like your arms or legs. Common causes include poor posture, repetitive stress, or underlying conditions like herniated discs.
How Massage Can Help
Massage therapy works wonders in reducing muscle tension and inflammation, two major contributors to pinched nerves. By relaxing the muscles around the nerve, massage can relieve pressure, allowing the nerve to function normally again. It also increases blood circulation, delivering much-needed oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, speeding up the healing process.
Benefits of Combining Chiropractic Care with Massage
While massage can significantly alleviate the symptoms of a pinched nerve, combining it with chiropractic adjustments can enhance the results. Chiropractic care realigns the spine and joints, addressing the root cause of nerve compression. Together, these treatments provide a comprehensive solution for long-term relief and improved mobility.
