Pinched Nerve Chiropractor in Sanford, FL — How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Nerve Pain Naturally

Tingling, numbness, or shooting pain can make it hard to sit, move, or even sleep comfortably. These symptoms often stem from a pinched nerve, when pressure from muscles, joints, or discs compresses the nerves that travel from your spine to your arms or legs.

At Journey Spinal Care in Sanford, FL, we take a gentle, evidence-informed approach to treating nerve-related pain. Our goal is to relieve pressure, restore alignment, and help you move with less pain and more confidence.

What Causes a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve can occur anywhere along the spine, but the neck and lower back are the most common regions. Common causes include:

• Disc bulges or herniations creating localized nerve irritation

• Poor posture or spinal misalignment leading to chronic compression

• Muscle tension or inflammation that restricts nerve mobility

• Repetitive motion or workplace strain from sitting or lifting

  
  

When these structures press on a nerve, the resulting irritation can create pain, weakness, or tingling sensations that radiate into the arms or legs.

Signs and Symptoms of Nerve Compression

• Tingling or “pins and needles” in the limbs

• Sharp, shooting, or radiating pain

• Numbness or muscle weakness

• Stiffness or limited mobility

• Pain that worsens with certain movements or positions

  
  

If left untreated, chronic compression can lead to muscle imbalance and postural changes — often connecting to low back pain, mid-back stiffness, or shoulder tension over time.

When to See a Chiropractor

If your symptoms persist for more than two weeks, radiate into your arms or legs, or cause weakness, it’s time to get evaluated. Early care can prevent chronic irritation and help restore proper nerve function before long-term damage occurs.
