Phase 2: Nerve Pressure Therapy at Advanced Chiropractic
What Is The Impact On Health Due To Nerve Pressure Restrictions?
How is Peripheral Nerve Compression Injury induced?
How is Peripheral Nerve Compression Injury induced?
Peripheral nerve compression injury is caused by the delicate tissues facing the spine being compressed due to either rotational misalignments of the spine and herniated discs or structural issues. This leads to disruption within the body and can result in detrimental impacts across health components.
Your Nerve System: The Ruler Of Your Body
The nervous system is responsible for coordinating and regulating all functions of the body including macroscopic actions like movement and cellular activities. When nerve signals experience pressure or irritation, the tissues and organs in the body and the bound structures lose the ability to function at peak levels. This constitutes suspension in communication and can serve as root cause for myriad health troubles which do not appear to be related to spine.
Common Reasons For Nerve Compression
Compression of the nerve can happen from multitude of reasons like misalignments of the spine subluxation, herniated bones in the spine, degenerative changes within the spine, certain inflammatory diseases, injuries from physical activity or violence, abnormal professional postures. At Specific Chiropractic, we strive to determine the primary source of your nerve pressure in order to provide you with the proper treatment plan.
Nerve Interference
Even applying minimal pressure can diminish nerve function by 60%, which can disrupt essential communication in your body.
Silent Progression
Most often nerve pressure develops slowly and symptoms only present markedly after significant damage has already occurred.
Specific Relief
Chiropractic adjustments are able to relieve nerve pressure without the use of drugs and or surgery.
The Specific Chiropractic Approach
To achieve optimal nerve function, precision, skillful hands, and technology are combined.
Bone and Nerve Assessment
With the latest diagnostic technology, Dr. Suh is able to assess and identify the areas of nerve pressure in the patients' spine. Such an assessment is comprehensive because scanning tools which can identify the slightest trace of nerve interference are utilized so treatment can be focused on the real problem.
The Gonstead Precision Advantage
Dr. Suh performs the renowned Gonstead Technique where specific adjustments are made to the vertebral bodies which are causing nerve pressure. Such precise technique allows us to only correct what needs correction.
Monitoring and Tracking Data
We are able to track changes in nerve function and pressure during your care using objective measurements. This data gives us assurance of making progress towards restoring optimum function of your nervous system.
Thorough Explanation of Patient Education

Identifying some of the more subtle signs your body might be trying to indicate
Discomfort and Pain
Pressure on a nerve usually shows itself in the form of sharp, shooting pain, burning pain, or dull and nagging ache. Often these symptoms will follow the path of the affected nerve to form pain patterns that are far removed from the actual source of pressure.
Pain Patterns with a Radiating Central Point
Pain from cervical nerve compression radiates to the shoulders, arms or hands while lumbar nerve compression gives rise to symptoms radiating down to the legs.
Burns and Tingling
In most cases, compression of a nerve will give rise to numbness, tingling, or capsulated "pins and needles" in the area served. Whether these symptoms are intermittent or constant limit will depend on the amount and type of pressure applied to the nerves.
Weakness of Muscles Alongside Coordination Issues
Because nerves have control over your muscles, there may be musculocutaneous atrophy—weakness, lack of control with fine movements such as gripping or pinching small objects—that occurs in an unexpected manner and warrants excessive fatigue. You may begin to drop items even at the height of your everyday physical activities, trip on the floor, or experience other problems that previously used to come easy to you.
Symptoms Beyond the Skeletal System
Since the entire body functions in a coordinated fashion, your body's nervous system acting under pressure will lead to a host of other complications apart from pain and problems with movement like pain in the stomach region, breathlessness, arrhythmia, or weakening in the body's immunity system.
