Get Help Relieving Nerve Pain From Dr. Jeff Cottingham
Dr. Jeff Cottingham in Chandler Arizona is a chiropractic doctor. One of his specialities is in the relief of pinched nerves.
Pinched nerves are caused by the pressure of surrounding tissues on a nerve. These tissues include bones, tendons, muscles and cartilage, and the resulting pinch of their added pressure can cause several symptoms, ranging from pain or numbness to tingling and weakness. Pinched nerves can occur anywhere in the body, and can usually be treated through physical therapy and/or chiropractic measures.
Surgery is on occasion needed to fix nerve problems, however these are hardly due to natural causes. Pinched nerves are generally naturally occurring and easy to relieve without the help of surgery.
A mixture of inflammation and pressure results in nerve pain (pinched nerves), and the issue can be fixed by solving either the inflammation or the pressure. The most simple solution to healing a nerve is taking time to heal and making sure not to be quite as active in the affected area.
A good way of quickening the process of healing a nerve is getting regular exercise, thereby getting your blood pumping. When you get your blood pumping, you increase blood flow through the arteries and to the nerves. If you would like to increase blood flow to deeper tissues you can also apply ice to the affected area. This will also reduce inflammation. Do not use heat to loosen your muscles. While this will offer temporary relief and feel good, it will bring the blood flow to the skin, slowing down the healing process in the nerves found deep in the tissue.
Dr. Jeff Cottingham offers chiropractic manipulation that will help stretch the muscles, loosen them and reduce muscle spasms. This will relieve pain and allow ease of mind that exercise will be fairly pain free, allowing you to increase blood flow and heal any damage done to a nerve at a faster rate.
