    Did you know that pinched nerves affect millions of Americans each year? Pinched nerves can cause debilitating and chronic pain that greatly impacts quality of life. Acupuncture is becoming an increasingly popular option for pinched nerve treatment because it offers a non-invasive treatment that is effective in relieving pain and improving function. At Gotham Integrative Acupuncture + Wellness, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your individual needs and pinched nerve pain.

    What Is a Pinched Nerve?

    A pinched nerve occurs when there is pressure on a nerve, typically from surrounding tissues such as bone, cartilage, or muscle. This pressure can cause the nerve to become irritated and inflamed, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness.

    What Causes a Pinched Nerve?

    There are many different things that can cause a pinched nerve, including:

    Degenerative conditions, such as arthritis

    Injuries

    Repetitive motions

    Poor posture

    Muscle tension and trigger points

    Signs You Should Try Acupuncture for Pinched Nerves

    If you are suffering from a pinched nerve, it is advantageous to seek out treatment as soon as possible. An untreated pinched nerve can lead to more damage in the long run. On the other hand, relieving pressure on a compressed nerve may help to minimize damage done and improve long term function, mobility and strength. 

    These are a few signs that you may want to seek acupuncture for help with pinched nerve pain:

    You’ve tried other treatments without success

    Your pain is not going away or getting worse

    You have numbness or tingling in your extremities

    You have weakness in your affected limb

    You have difficulty sleeping

    You have difficulty performing everyday tasks

    The pain is easily aggravated by certain activities

    Physical therapy has either not helped, or has not completely resolved pain and discomfort

    How Acupuncture Can Help Relieve Pinched Nerves

    Acupuncture is one branch of treatment within Chinese Medicine and has has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions. It’s particularly effective for chronic pain conditions. It works by stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities to heal tissue damage, improve circulation, release muscular tension and regulate the nervous system. Some of the ways that acupuncture helps with a pinched nerve include:

    Triggering the body to release anti-inflammatory agents to reduce inflammation

    Triggering the body to release powerful natural painkillers

    Increasing circulation to the injured area to assist with tissue repair

    Releasing muscular tension, trigger points, and adhesions
