Are you in pain?
Are you experiencing tingling in your arms, neck, lower back, elbows, legs, or feet?
Have you felt a sharp pain in your back that seems to radiate all the way to your feet? These could be signs of a pinched nerve, also known as radiculopathy. A pinched nerve can severely disrupt your daily life, making even simple activities painful and difficult.
You don’t have to continue suffering.

What Are the Most Common Causes of a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve is most commonly caused by conditions that compress or irritate a nerve, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs. Other contributors include arthritis, repetitive motion, or injury. Identifying the underlying cause is key to effective treatment and long-term relief.
Traumatic Injury
The impact of a car or work accident, a slip and fall, or a sports accident can put pressure on a nerve..
Spinal Stenosis
With this condition, your spinal canal can narrow and impinge on a nerve.
Repetitive Stress or Motion
Certain types of repeated activity can put pressure on nerves, causing carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve conditions.
The Aging Process
As you age, your joints break down and the natural cushioning there becomes thinner, which can lead to the formation of bone spurs.
Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthritis
Different types of arthritis can cause bone spurs, break down cartilage and narrow nerve passageways
Obesity or Poor Posture
These conditions can put extra pressure on the spinal column and the nerves contained there.
