What Causes Nerve Pain?

Nerve pain can be caused by a variety of factors and can affect people of all ages. Sciatica, for example, is a common form of nerve pain that affects people of all ages, and it can be frustrating when it limits our ability to do everyday activities. Fortunately, there are ways to treat nerve pain—including chiropractic care. At Zen Care Physical Medicine in Irvine, CA, we specialize in treating many forms of nerve pain with natural, non-invasive treatments. Let’s take a closer look at why nerve pain happens and how chiropractic care can help treat it.

Nerve pain can be caused by injury or illness such as diabetes or certain types of arthritis. It can also be caused by trauma from a car accident or sports injury. People with allergies may also develop nerve pain due to inflammation around the nerves caused by autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). In some cases, nerve pain may be a result of compression of nerves due to herniated discs in the spine, or pinched nerves in other parts of the body. Sciatica is another form of nerve pain—it’s common for people of all ages—and it can cause a lot of frustration when it limits your ability to engage in important activities or make simple tasks like sitting down and getting out of bed uncomfortable.

Nerve pain is most often caused by inflammation or injury to the affected area. Other causes include underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and sciatica. In addition to these primary causes of nerve pain, there are also certain lifestyle habits that can contribute to the problem—such as poor posture or an improper sleeping position.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help Treat Nerve Pain?

Chiropractic care has been proven effective in treating various types of nerve-related conditions and alleviating their associated symptoms. When combined with customized exercises and lifestyle modifications, chiropractic adjustments can help realign your spine and reduce pressure on sensitive areas like compressed nerves that may be causing your discomfort. At Zen Care Physical Medicine, our Chiropractic BioPhysics®-certified chiropractors use specialized techniques such as spinal traction to help relax tight muscles that may be further compressing nerves and triggering chronic pain sensations. Lastly, chiropractic care helps target specific areas where pressure needs to be relieved without having to resort to surgery or other invasive treatments. All these services are provided at Zen Care Physical Medicine office is located conveniently in Irvine, CA!

Chiropractic care is an effective way to alleviate the symptoms associated with nerve pain. Through gentle manipulation and adjustments of the spine and other joints in the body, our chiropractors are able to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation which helps reduce pressure on nerves and promote healing. Additionally, our chiropractors may suggest lifestyle changes such as improved posture and ergonomic adjustments for your workspace which can reduce stress on nerves and help prevent future flare-ups.

In addition to manual manipulation techniques like spinal adjustments and spinal traction, some patients may benefit from cold laser therapy, which uses low-voltage laser light to stimulate injured nerves in order to reduce chronic inflammation associated with nerve pain. This type of therapy has been found to provide both short-term reliefs from acute symptoms as well as long-term relief over time if used in conjunction with regular chiropractic treatment plans.
