Chiropractic Care for Nerve Pain and Tingling in Sanford, FL — Finding Relief Beyond the Spine

Tingling, numbness, or that pins-and-needles sensation can be more than just annoying — it’s often a sign that a nerve somewhere along your spine or extremities is under pressure or inflamed. Whether it radiates down your leg, travels into your arm, or feels like a patch of burning discomfort, nerve irritation can disrupt your daily life.

At Journey Spinal Care in Sanford, FL, we take a comprehensive approach to nerve pain. By combining gentle chiropractic adjustments and targeted bodywork, we help reduce irritation, restore healthy nerve communication, and support your body’s natural healing process.

What Causes Nerve Pain and Tingling?

Nerve irritation (or neuropathy) can arise from many underlying issues — sometimes mechanical, sometimes postural. Common causes include:

• Disc or joint dysfunction that compresses spinal nerves.

• Postural stress from sitting or looking down at screens for long periods.

• Muscle tension or inflammation surrounding nerve pathways.

• Old injuries or repetitive strain that limit mobility.

• Systemic factors such as poor circulation, diabetes, or nutritional deficiencies.

  
  

When a nerve becomes irritated or “trapped,” it can alter how signals travel from your spine to your limbs — leading to pain, tingling, or weakness.

Research insight:

A 2020 randomized controlled trial found that patients with lumbar radiculopathy who received spinal manipulation experienced greater reductions in pain and disability compared to those receiving physiotherapy alone — highlighting the effectiveness of chiropractic care in managing nerve-related pain. (Srbely et al., Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, PubMed ID: 32931763)

Common Symptoms of Nerve Irritation

Depending on where the nerve is affected, you may notice:

• Tingling or numbness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet

• Burning or sharp pain that follows a line down an arm or leg

• Muscle weakness or reduced grip strength

• Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes

• Stiffness or pain that worsens after sitting or standing

  
  

When these symptoms persist, it’s essential to identify the source — whether it’s a pinched nerve in the neck (cervical radiculopathy), the lower back (sciatica), or soft-tissue entrapment along the pathway.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Nerve Pain

At Journey Spinal Care, our focus is on improving spinal alignment and releasing restrictions that interfere with nerve flow. Chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure on joints and discs, while bodywork targets the muscles and fascia that surround irritated nerves.

Your customized plan may include:

• Gentle spinal adjustments to restore mobility and reduce nerve compression.

• Soft-tissue therapy or cupping to release tension and improve circulation.

• Targeted stretching or postural retraining for long-term relief.

• Lifestyle guidance for ergonomics, movement, and recovery.

The Connection Between Posture, Movement, and Nerve Health

Poor posture — especially forward head carriage and rounded shoulders — can place subtle but chronic tension on nerve pathways. When mobility in the spine is limited, the nervous system compensates, often creating tightness or pain elsewhere.

Improving spinal mechanics through chiropractic care enhances not just movement, but also how efficiently your nerves communicate with muscles and tissues.

Supporting Nerve Health Naturally

Alongside chiropractic care, we may recommend lifestyle or nutritional support to promote optimal nerve function. Evidence-based options like Thorne supplements — including B-vitamins, omega-3s, or magnesium — can aid in reducing inflammation and supporting cellular repair.

Ask us during your visit which nutritional advice and supplements may complement your treatment plan.

Self-Care Tips for Nerve Pain Relief

You can take steps at home to support your recovery between visits:

• Stretch daily — gentle neck and hip mobility exercises help reduce compression.

• Move frequently — change positions and avoid prolonged sitting.

• Practice posture checks — align ears, shoulders, and hips when seated or standing.

• Stay hydrated and nourished — healthy nerve tissue relies on proper circulation and nutrients.

• Use heat or gentle movement — to relax muscles and calm irritated nerves.
