Chiropractic Helps Nerve Pain In Long Island

By Rae Patricio


If you are suffering from pain and discomfort, the problem could be a pinched nerve or nerve impingement. This can result in headaches, back pain, leg pain, and pain almost anywhere in the body. In fact, even vital organ function can be affected. Thankfully, your chiropractor offers Long Island active release technique, and it can be highly beneficial.

Nerves can become impinged for many different reasons, but one of the most common causes today is overuse or repetitive motion. This often happens on the job with people working on assembly lines, at computer keyboards, or any job which requires performing the same duties over and over again, all day long. This kind of activity can irritate muscles and tendons and cause them to tighten.

A tightened muscle, tendon, or ligament may interfere with nerve activity. Your nerves are an important part of the brain's communication system. Nerves constantly send and receive messages from the brain to the body. Once a nerve is impinged it cannot do its job properly and this may cause pain signals to run along the nerve, causing you to feel strange sensations.

An irritated nerve can create a feeling of electrical shock. You also could have a serious backache or your muscles may become tight. Nerve pain can be the cause of numbness in the extremities or you could feel like someone is placing a hot poker against your skin.

Irritated nerves often form scar tissue as result of injury and this scar tissue can interfere with nerve function and mobility. Active release therapy or ART is designed to relax muscles and break up scar tissue which is restricting movement. This helps to improve movement and can allow impinged nerves to heal.

A qualified ART practitioner checks the body for signs of scar tissue. These areas (called trigger points) can be broken up by placing the right kind of pressure on them. In addition, your tightened muscles may have affected the alignment of your spine and this can be corrected with gentle and effective chiropractic adjustment therapy. After a few visits, you may be much better.
