Can a Chiropractor Help with a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve can be a painful and frustrating condition that affects your ability to move, work, and enjoy daily life. Whether caused by spinal misalignment, injury, or chronic inflammation, a compressed nerve can lead to symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Many people experiencing nerve pain ask: Can a chiropractor help with a pinched nerve? The answer is yes—chiropractic care can be highly effective in relieving pressure on the nerves, restoring mobility, and promoting long-term healing.
At Arkansas Health and Aesthetics, we offer specialized chiropractic techniques designed to reduce nerve compression, improve spinal alignment, and alleviate inflammation. In cases where traditional methods haven’t provided sufficient relief, we also offer regenerative medicine—an advanced treatment option that can target and reduce nerve inflammation, promoting faster healing and long-term recovery.
Understanding a Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is placed on a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, muscles, ligaments, or cartilage. This pressure can disrupt normal nerve function, leading to discomfort and, in some cases, chronic pain. Common causes of a pinched nerve include:

- Herniated or bulging discs pressing on spinal nerves
- Poor posture leading to misalignment and nerve compression
- Repetitive movements that cause nerve irritation over time
- Inflammation from injury or arthritis that swells around the nerve
- Muscle tightness or spasms placing excessive pressure on nerves
The severity of symptoms can vary. Some individuals experience mild discomfort that comes and goes, while others suffer from debilitating pain that limits their mobility. Without proper treatment, a pinched nerve can lead to long-term nerve damage.
Can a Chiropractor Fix a Pinched Nerve?
Yes, a chiropractor can often fix a pinched nerve by addressing the underlying cause of the nerve compression. At Arkansas Health and Aesthetics, our chiropractic treatments focus on:
Spinal Adjustments
Gentle manipulations to realign the spine, reducing nerve pressure and restoring normal function.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
A technique that stretches the spine to relieve disc pressure, creating space for nerves to heal.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Targeted techniques such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy to relax muscles and alleviate tension around the nerve.
Postural Corrections & Ergonomic Guidance
Helping patients improve posture and modify daily habits to prevent recurring nerve compression.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Strengthening weak muscles and improving flexibility to support long-term spinal health.
By using a combination of these treatments, chiropractic care can effectively relieve symptoms and promote long-term nerve health.
Can a Chiropractor Make a Pinched Nerve Worse?
A concern for many patients is whether chiropractic adjustments can worsen a pinched nerve. When performed by a trained and licensed chiropractor, adjustments are safe, precise, and designed to relieve pressure rather than increase it. However, in cases where nerve damage is severe or there is an underlying condition such as a severely herniated disc, certain chiropractic techniques may not be suitable.
At Arkansas Health and Aesthetics, we perform a comprehensive evaluation before beginning treatment, ensuring that chiropractic care is the right approach for your condition. If necessary, we modify treatment techniques or recommend additional therapies, such as regenerative medicine, to achieve the best results.
Regenerative Medicine for Pinched Nerves
For patients who have not found relief through traditional methods, regenerative medicine offers a promising alternative. This cutting-edge approach focuses on reducing nerve inflammation and promoting natural tissue repair, providing long-term relief for those with chronic nerve pain.
How Regenerative Medicine Helps with a Pinched Nerve
Regenerative therapies work by targeting the damaged or inflamed nerve tissues to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. These treatments may include:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Uses concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
Cell-Based Therapy
Harnesses the power of human cells to promote nerve regeneration and reduce chronic inflammation.
Growth Factor Injections
Specialized proteins that stimulate healing and help restore normal nerve function.
By reducing inflammation and enhancing tissue repair, regenerative medicine can provide long-term relief, especially for patients who have chronic nerve pain that has not responded to traditional treatments.
When to Consider Regenerative Medicine
If you’ve tried chiropractic care, physical therapy, or medication with little success, regenerative medicine may be the solution you need. Patients who experience the following may benefit from regenerative treatments:
- Persistent nerve pain that hasn’t improved with chiropractic adjustments
- Chronic inflammation affecting nerve function
- Severe nerve compression or degeneration
- Limited mobility or ongoing discomfort despite previous treatments
At Arkansas Health and Aesthetics, we customize treatment plans to combine chiropractic care and regenerative medicine when necessary, ensuring our patients receive the most effective and lasting solutions.
