A pinched nerve can be extremely painful. If you have ever woken up in the morning with either your arm or your leg feeling numb, and then when the numbness goes away it is replaced with a feeling of ‘pins and needles’, this is generally caused by a pinched nerve which can be so uncomfortable and very painful.
Other causes of a pinched nerve could be an injury, particularly sports injuries, repetitive movements, obesity and even gaining additional weight during pregnancy with the pressure of a baby on your skeletal structure.
More serious causes of a pinched nerve could be a slipped disc or a damaged spine.
With the right treatment, a pinched nerve is usually healed within a few days to a week. In more severe cases you may be left with permanent problems and this is where Chiropractor Clare Fulton says she has had great results with pinched nerve treatment in Mosman at her Spine and Health Centre.
One of the main reasons for the success of pinched nerve treatment in Mosman is their strong focus on posture. Poor posture can stretch the actual spinal cord itself as well the nerves as they pass out of the back bones. Restoring posture to normal can significantly reduce the stress on the nerves dramatically reducing the pain.
Once you have experienced this condition and have received pinched nerve treatment in Mosman by Chiropractor Clare Fulton, it is recommended that you make some changes to your life-style to prevent further injury.
If you have a repetitive job, you must make sure that you take regular breaks to stretch and perform a range of movement exercises. If being overweight or obese is the cause of your pinched nerve, reducing your body weight may be a contributing factor to minimizing your risk of this happening again.
If that is the case, as well as Chiropractor Clare Fulton conducting her pinched nerve treatment in Mosman at her Spine and Health Centre, she also has a very successful health & wellbeing program that can assist you holistically.
