Do you suffer from persistent pinched nerve pain that causes significant disability? Does the pain radiate down your other body parts, like the arms or legs, making it difficult to complete tasks like walking your dog or running errands at work? Has the pain affected you so long that you have grown dependent on painkillers for relief?

Let’s help you find effective ways to un-pinch your nerve with the help of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care and other well-known natural remedies.

 

Pinched Nerves: A Source of Pain and Suffering 

A pinched nerve can be a painful and debilitating condition. It can cause you to flinch or cry in pain whenever you bend your body to pick up things off the floor, write notes in your diary, or turn your head to greet a neighbor passing by while you’re in your garden. It can affect your daily life, especially when the pain, tingling, and numbness sensations don’t improve even after taking medications. 

Notably, a pinched nerve can develop from a plethora of things, including an atlas subluxation, which is the misalignment of the topmost vertebrae. This postural issue usually follows a neck or head injury, but it can also worsen due to underlying conditions such as arthritis or degenerative disc disease.

When your spine is misaligned, it can put pressure on the surrounding nerves, causing pain and discomfort. It also causes your nerves to misfire pain signals constantly to the brain, leaving you at risk for pain hypersensitivity and reduced energy levels.

 

Trusted Remedies that Can Help Un-Pinch The Nerves

When it comes to un-pinching a pinched nerve or reducing the pain you experience due to the condition, there are several natural remedies you can try. Notably, not all home remedies work for everyone; some may be more effective than others depending on the underlying cause of the pinched nerve. Here are some home remedies you can try:

#1. Gentle stretches and exercises

Simple exercises and stretches can help reduce pressure on the affected nerve and promote healing.

#2. Hot and cold therapy

Alternating between hot and cold therapy can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Apply a hot pack or a cold compress to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.

#3. Massage

Massage can help relax tense muscles and improve blood flow, which can relieve pressure on the affected nerve.

#4. Herbal remedies

Certain herbs like turmeric or ginger contain anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Consider adding them to your diet or taking them as supplements.

#5. Posture correction

Poor posture can contribute to the development of pinched nerves, so you should practice simple posture tips to help your body. You might also find it helpful to seek an Upper Cervical Chiropractic doctor to detect and fix “invisible” postural misalignments that compromise how you stand, walk, or run.

#6. Avoid repetitive motions

Repetitive motions can aggravate a pinched nerve. Avoid activities that require repetitive movements, or take frequent breaks to rest and stretch.

While these home remedies can provide temporary relief for pinched nerves, it is important to seek professional care for severe cases or if the symptoms persist.
