Causes of Nerve Pain
The most common causes of nerve pain are usually associated with physical trauma that results from slip-and-fall accidents, car collisions, and sports-related mishaps. In addition, nerve pain may also be due to nerves being compressed by inflamed tissues, which could be the result of long-term wear and tear. Nutritional deficiencies and chronic diseases such as diabetes are also contributors to nerve dysfunction.
Chiropractic Treatment Options for Nerve Pain
Chiropractic care seeks to eliminate pain and restore proper nerve function without surgery or medications. The many options available at Malibu Wellness to manage nerve pain include -
- Spinal Adjustments and Spinal Decompression — an appropriately aligned spine will help reduce compressed nerve and related pain.
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy – PEMF.
- Ice/Cryotherapy — reduces overall inflammation caused by inflamed nerves.
- Massage Therapy – a body that becomes more relaxed by massage can be adjusted more easily. Massages also stimulate blood flow through inflamed tissues and stretch tight muscles.
- Therapeutic Ultrasound — sound waves gently massage soft tissue, enhancing blood circulation and reducing pain/stiffness, muscle spasms, and cramping.
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation – can be used to retrain nerves attached to damaged muscles
- Physical Therapy.
