About This Service
What a Pinched Nerve Really Means
A pinched nerve is a nerve that's being squeezed or irritated as it leaves the spine. In the neck it tends to show up in the shoulder, arm or hand. In the low back it shows up in the hip, leg or foot. The spot that hurts is often a long way from the spot causing it.
The cause can be a disc, a joint that isn't moving right, tight tissue, or posture that loads one area all day. An exam sorts out which, because each one is handled differently.
- Neurological testing of strength, reflexes and sensation
- An exam that traces symptoms back to where they start
- Gentle adjustments to restore motion and ease pressure
- Posture and movement changes for your daily routine
- Referral when symptoms point to something that needs a medical doctor

Our Approach
Taking the Pressure Off
Care is aimed at the reason the nerve is irritated, not just the symptom. That usually means restoring motion to the joints involved, calming the area down and changing the positions and habits that keep loading it.
Nerve symptoms deserve respect. Weakness that keeps getting worse, symptoms in both arms or both legs, or any change in bowel or bladder control needs emergency medical care right away.

Common Questions
Questions Patients Ask Us
Can a chiropractor help a pinched nerve?
Often, when the nerve is being irritated by how the spine is moving or loaded. An exam with neurological testing tells us whether chiropractic care is a good fit.
How do I know if it's a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle?
Muscle strains usually stay local and ache. Nerve problems tend to travel, tingle, go numb or feel sharp and electric. An exam can tell the difference.
How long does a pinched nerve take to feel better?
It depends on the cause and how long it has been going on. Your exam gives you specific expectations instead of a generic timeline.
When is a pinched nerve an emergency?
Progressive weakness, symptoms in both arms or legs, or loss of bowel or bladder control. Go to the emergency room.

Verified Patient“Having recently moved to Loveland, I was seeking a chiropractor closer to my home. I had a few unpleasant experiences with other Loveland chiropractic companies that are what I call ‘commercial chiropractic.’ Dr. Flemming’s passion for his practice was obvious to me from the first meeting. With every adjustment, I feel my body improve.”
