Question:
What can i do for a pinched nerve ?
Answers:
Find out where the pinched nerve is. It is often in lower cervical spine (neck) or lower lumbar spine (low back). Sometimes it can be due to a misalignment, joint inflammation, muscle spasm, disc herniation or bulging, spinal stenosis, degenerative joint / disc disease, etc. There are diagnostic studies such as X-rays and MRI that will help identify the source. A good chiropractor will be able to help you. Most of the cases, you will be able to avoid an invasive approaches such as cortisone shot or surgery. NSAID (such as Ibu-profen) are certainly an option, but please remember, any pills you take, your liver and kidneys have to work hard and will be tough on them. If pinched nerve is in extremities, again, a good chiropractor, massage therapist, or a physical therapist can help you. Good luck.
