Pinched Nerve Pain Relief at True Health Chiropractic
What Is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve occurs when excessive pressure is placed on a nerve or nerve root, often in the lower spine. This pressure interferes with normal nerve function and can result in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along the nerve’s pathway.
A pinched nerve in the lower back can cause intense pain that radiates from the back through the buttock and down the leg—sometimes reaching the calf, foot, or toes. At True Health Chiropractic, we provide gentle, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy designed to relieve nerve pressure and address the root cause of pinched nerve pain.
If back or leg pain is disrupting your daily life, effective and non-invasive treatment options are available.

Common Pinched Nerve Symptoms
Symptoms of a pinched nerve may include:
- Sharp or shooting pain in the lower back
- Pain radiating down one leg
- Pain that intensifies with movement
- Electric shock–like sensations
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Pain that follows specific nerve pathways
- Localized “hot spots” where pain is more intense
Because the sciatic nerve is often involved, symptoms frequently mimic sciatica .
Causes of a Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve is caused by pressure or irritation of spinal nerve roots. Common causes include:
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Piriformis syndrome
- Pregnancy-related spinal changes
- Trauma or injury
- Rarely, spinal tumors or infections
Any of these conditions can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain and neurological symptoms.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Pinched Nerves at True Health Chiropractic
Many cases of pinched nerve pain do not require surgery. At True Health Chiropractic, we focus on conservative, non-invasive solutions whenever possible.
Gentle Spinal Decompression Therapy works by gently stretching the spine to:
- Reduce pressure on compressed discs
- Relieve irritation of nerve roots
- Improve circulation to injured spinal structures
- Promote natural disc healing
This comfortable, outpatient therapy does not involve injections or surgery and is often effective for recurring lower back and nerve-related pain.
