Pinched Nerve
Understanding Nerve Interference
Nerve interference, often referred to as a “pinched nerve,” is a broad term used to describe pain or dysfunction associated with conditions ranging from spinal subluxations to Tunnel syndromes. In most cases, nerves become irritated and inflamed when the bones, joints, or muscles of the spine are not in their proper position or are not moving correctly. This condition can lead to sharp, burning sensations or a deep, aching pain caused by overworked or injured muscles. At Capstone Chiropractic, we prioritize an accurate diagnosis to determine the exact cause of your pain and correct the underlying nerve dysfunction.
Pinched Nerve Symptoms
When a nerve is compressed or irritated, it can no longer communicate effectively between your brain and your body. This often manifests as:
Localized Pain: Intense discomfort at the site of the interference.
Radiating Sensations: Sharp or electric-like pain that travels along the nerve path.
Numbness and Tingling: Often described as a “pins and needles” sensation in the extremities.
Muscle Weakness: A decrease in strength in the muscles controlled by the affected nerve.
Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, running from your pelvis through your hip area and buttocks down each leg. Sciatica is a sign that you have an underlying problem irritating this specific nerve in your lower back. This pain can vary widely—from a mild ache to a sharp, electric shock—and is often accompanied by numbness or muscle weakness in the affected leg. It typically starts gradually and intensifies over time.
