Pinched Nerve Care in Austin
A pinched or compressed nerve can cause radiating pain, numbness, tingling or weakness, depending on where along the spine the nerve is being irritated. Similar symptoms can arise from several sources, so evaluation matters before choosing a treatment.
Nerve Compression Evaluation
We assess the symptom distribution, neurologic findings, injury history and any available imaging to understand where the nerve is being irritated. Depending on the findings, a conservative plan may include chiropractic care, DRX9000 decompression for appropriately selected disc-related presentations, or other measures. Progressive weakness or other red-flag findings warrant timely medical evaluation and possible referral.
Frequently Asked Questions
