A pinched nerve can make everyday life frustrating in a way that is hard to ignore. Some people feel pain shooting into the arm or leg. Others notice burning, tingling, weakness, or a deep ache that just will not settle down. Our goal is to identify what is irritating the nerve and build a treatment plan that helps reduce pressure, calm inflammation, and improve function.
Schedule an Appointment View All ServicesA pinched nerve happens when a nerve is being irritated, compressed, or inflamed by surrounding tissue. That irritation can come from a disc problem, joint restriction, swelling, muscle tension, scar tissue, or a narrowing of the space where the nerve travels.
The location matters. A pinched nerve in the neck may cause symptoms into the shoulder, arm, or hand. A pinched nerve in the low back may cause symptoms into the hip, leg, or foot. In some cases, the main complaint is pain. In others, numbness, tingling, or weakness become the bigger concern.
Pain that travels into the arm, hand, hip, leg, or foot rather than staying in one small area.
Many patients describe pins and needles, burning, or reduced sensation along a nerve pathway.
A pinched nerve can sometimes reduce strength, grip, stability, or control in the affected area.
Symptoms may worsen in certain positions depending on where the nerve is being irritated.
Pinched nerves can be caused by herniated discs, bulging discs, arthritic narrowing, joint dysfunction, muscle tightness, inflammation, repetitive stress, or injury. Some patients notice symptoms after lifting, twisting, or a sudden movement. Others develop them gradually from posture, repetitive strain, long drives, desk work, or chronic spinal stress.
In many cases, the nerve is not the only problem. The surrounding joints, discs, muscles, and movement patterns often play a major role in why the irritation developed and why it is not going away.
