According to the Mayo Clinic, pinched nerves occurs when the nerve surrounding tissues like the bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, becomes pressured. This pressure, or “pinch,” disrupts the nerve's function and causes pain, tingling, and numbness at various points in the body.

You can feel pinched nerves in the back, shoulders, or in places like your wrist. Here some common symptoms associated with pinched nerves.

Dr. Jonathan Hull can use manual adjustments of the spine to help re-align structures to reduce pressure on the pinched nerve. If necessary, spinal decompression and electrotherapy can also be used for treatment.
Correct posture positions the spinal joints (vertebrae) to provide the least amount of stress on all the other joints of the body. When your posture is bad, whether standing or sitting, it increases stress on the joints and can damage the surrounding tissues, leading to nerve pain.
A regular exercise and stretching program can extend flexibility and joint movement, as well as strengthen muscles.
