A pinched nerve develops when surrounding tissues place an increased amount of pressure on a nerve. This, in turn, causes issues with the functions of the nerve and can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness. With the ability to occur within multiple areas of the body, a pinched nerve commonly occurs in the spine, leading to lower and upper back pain.

By definition, a pinched nerve is caused by surrounding tissues placing too much pressure on a nerve. However, there are several conditions and factors that may cause a pinched nerve to occur, such as an injury, arthritis, repetitive motion or stress on one area, and obesity. Some other factors linked to the development of a pinched nerve include diabetes, bone spurs, thyroid disease, prolonged bed rest, and pregnancy. While in some cases a pinched nerve may cause no permanent damage, if it continues for a long time without treatment, it can lead to chronic pain and cause permanent damage to the affected nerve. This is why it is important to receive treatment if you notice lingering pain and other symptoms of a pinched nerve.
There are several treatments and procedure options that may be beneficial to treat a pinched nerve. These can range from pain management medications to physical therapy or a more invasive procedure, such as steroid injections. Additionally, one of our certified physicians may also suggest a decompression procedure. This procedure is performed to relieve pressure on the affected area. No matter the treatment recommended for you, our team will provide you with all of the necessary information to allow you to fully understand your options. We also offer the appropriate aftercare instructions to ensure you heal properly and comfortably.
